RECITALS

The Stockholders desire to evidence their agreement with respect to certain matters in relation to the Company and their respective holdings.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.Definition.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean and include any securities of the Company, including without limitation, all shares of common stock (regardless of class) (“Common Stock”), by whatever name called, now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise. 

2.Restrictions on Transfer

2.1Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Shares shall not be transferred except pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.  Any purported transfer of any such equity securities not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company. 

2.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly transfer any Shares to any person who is a competitor of the Company or any of its affiliates or to any affiliate of such a competitor.  For purposes of this provision, the good faith determination of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors that a proposed transferee is a “competitor” shall in all respects be conclusive. 

2.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Stockholder may not transfer any Shares unless (a) such transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in compliance with any other applicable federal securities laws and state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) the Stockholder shall have furnished  



 


the Company with an opinion of counsel, if requested by the Company, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and that the transfer otherwise complies with any other applicable federal and state securities laws.  In addition, as a condition precedent to the permitted transfer of any Shares, any permitted purchaser, assignee, transferee or pledgee of any such shares of the Company held by Stockholder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement and shall sign a joinder to this Agreement to such effect.

3.Company Right of First Refusal

3.1If at any time Stockholder proposes to transfer any Shares, as applicable, then the Stockholder shall promptly give the Company written notice of the Stockholder’s intention to make the proposed transfer (the “Transfer Notice”).  The Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Shares to be transferred (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s), (iii) the consideration, and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made.  The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Stockholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice.  The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed transfer.  In the event that the transfer is being made pursuant to the provisions of Section 4, the Transfer Notice shall state under which specific Section the transfer is being made. 

3.2The Company shall have an option for a period of ninety (90) days from delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.  The Company may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares by notifying the Stockholder in writing before expiration of such ninety (90) day period as to the number of such shares that it wishes to purchase.  If the Company gives the Stockholder notice that it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 3.3 below. 

3.3Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property.  If the Stockholder and the Company cannot agree on such cash value within ninety (90) days after delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Stockholder and the Company or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within ninety (90) days after delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and those appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value.  If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s) has not been finalized, then such closing shall be  



 


held on or prior to the fifth (5th) business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this Section.

3.4Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 3.3, to the extent that the Company has not exercised its rights to purchase the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in this Section 3.4, the Stockholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the expiration of such rights in which to transfer the Offered Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice.  In the event the Stockholder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Company’s first refusal rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Stockholder until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Company under this Section to purchase Offered Shares from the Stockholder shall not adversely affect the Company’s right to make subsequent purchases from the Stockholder pursuant to this Section. 

4.Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2, but subject to approval of a majority of the Board of Directors and the provisions of Section 2.3, the first refusal rights of the Company shall not apply to (a) the transfer of Shares to any affiliate (including any member, partner, Stockholder or subsidiary) of the transferring Stockholder; (b) the transfer of Shares to any spouse or member of a Stockholder’s family, or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the Stockholder’s spouse or members of the Stockholder’s family, or to a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing individuals, the Stockholder’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust; or (c) if the provisions of Section 5 below apply; provided, however, that in the event of any transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clause(s) (a) or (b), (i) the Stockholder shall inform the Company of such transfer prior to effecting it and (ii) each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the transfer, shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Shares.

11.16Dispute Resolution.  All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other agreements, documents, and instruments to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or any part of the business relationship between the Company and the Purchasers (“Arbitrable Claims”), shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in New York, New York before one arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to award or grant legal, equitable, and declaratory relief.  No action at law or in equity based upon any Arbitrable Claim shall be instituted in any court by any party except (a) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this section or (b) an action to enforce an award rendered in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 11.16 or otherwise have such award entered as a judgment.  For any such action at law or in equity, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York and hereby explicitly and unequivocally waive (x) any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper, and (y) any such party’s right to remove any such action to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction.  The parties understand and acknowledge that, by agreeing to binding arbitration, they waive the right to submit the dispute for determination by a court and thereby also waive the right to a jury or court trial. 

11.17Costs of Enforcement.  If any party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees. 

11.18Aggregation of Stock.  All Shares held or acquired by a Stockholder and/or its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and such affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate. 

11.19After Acquired Shares.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement will apply to all of the Shares now owned by the Stockholders and to all Shares that may be issued to, or owned or held by, the Stockholders after the date of this Agreement, however obtained or acquired, including but not limited to any shares of capital stock issued in connection with a stock dividend, split, combination, exchange or similar manner related to or on account of the Shares. 



 


11.20Spousal Consent.  If any individual Stockholder is married on the date of this Agreement, such Stockholder’s spouse shall execute and deliver to the Company a consent of spouse in the form of Exhibit B hereto (“Consent of Spouse”), effective on the date hereof.  Notwithstanding the execution and delivery thereof, such consent shall not be deemed to confer or convey to the spouse any rights in such Stockholder’s Shares that do not otherwise exist by operation of law or the agreement of the parties.  If any individual Stockholder should marry or remarry subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such Stockholder shall within thirty (30) days thereafter obtain his/her new spouse’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by causing such spouse to execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse acknowledging the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and agreeing and consenting to the same.
