ARTICLE IV

 

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON

CAPITAL STOCK; CONVERSION OF CERTIFICATES

Section 4.01     Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any share capital of MediVision:

(a)        Conversion Shares. Each ordinary share, par value NIS 0.1 per share, of MediVision (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically converted into 1.66 shares (the “Conversion Ratio”) of the Common Stock, no par value (the “OIS Common Stock”), of OIS (the “Conversion Shares”). Following the Effective Time, each certificate (a “Certificate”) representing any of the Shares and non-certificated Shares deposited at the CIK (the “CIK Shares”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Conversion Shares and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(b).

 

(b)

[Intentionally Omitted].

(c)        Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, all of the ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.1 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value NIS 0.1 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d)        MediVision. At the Effective Time, all Shares shall be owned by OIS and will be registered in its name in the shareholders registry of MediVision after presentation of the Shares to a credit institution which is empowered to exchange such Shares for the Merger Consideration.

 

Section 4.02

Conversion of Shares.

(a)        Conversion Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, OIS shall, after consultation with MediVision, appoint a bank or trust company that maintains offices in Israel and the United States and Belgium to act as conversion agent (the “Conversion Agent”) for providing the Conversion Shares following the Effective Time upon surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or CIK Shares. Prior to or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, OIS shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited, with the Conversion Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, (i) certificates representing

 

5

 


the aggregate number of shares of OIS Common Stock to be issued in the Merger; and (ii) such cash in an amount sufficient for payment of any dividends and distributions to which holders of Shares may be entitled (such cash and certificates for shares of OIS Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Fund”). Following the Effective Time, subject to surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or the CIK Shares, the Conversion Agent shall deliver the Conversion Shares and cash in an amount sufficient for payment of any dividends or distributions contemplated to be paid in respect of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, out of the Conversion Fund. Conversion of any CIK Shares shall be effected in accordance with OIS’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry. Except as contemplated in this Agreement, the Conversion Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

 

(b)

Surrender of Certificates; Payment.

 

(i)

Conversion Procedures.

(A)      Promptly after the Effective time, OIS shall instruct the Conversion Agent to mail to each holder of record of Conversion Shares (i) a letter of transmittal, in a form to be agreed upon by the parties hereto, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting surrender by such holder of its Certificates to the Conversion Agent in consideration for the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Letters of Transmittal”).

(B)      The holder of each Certificate, upon the surrender of such Certificate by such holder to the Conversion Agent (or the delivery of the affidavit and bond, if any, specified in Section 4.02(g)), together with a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed by such holder in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Conversion Agent, shall, subject to Section 4.02(e) be entitled to receive in exchange for such Certificate a certificate representing the number of shares of OIS Common Stock for which the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificate may be converted pursuant to Section 4.01, and such surrendered Certificate shall forthwith thereafter be cancelled and retired.

(C)      Each Certificate shall be deemed at all times from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon conversion as contemplated in this Section 4.02, the Conversion Shares to which the holder of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate is entitled to receive in the Merger.

(c)        Distributions with Respect to Unconverted Shares. All shares of OIS Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and, whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by OIS in respect of the OIS Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of OIS Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the OIS Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or CIK Share until such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or CIK Share is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof

 

6

 


as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or CIK Share, there shall be issued to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of OIS Common Stock issued in conversion thereof, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date and payment date after the Effective Time and on or prior to such surrender date, that were received by the Conversion Agent with respect to such whole shares of OIS Common Stock held by it and (ii) at the appropriate payment date as determined by the Conversion Agent, the dividends or other distributions paid and received by the Conversion Agent with respect to such whole shares of OIS Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d)        Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the share transfer books of MediVision of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e)        Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of OIS Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of certificates formerly representing Shares or otherwise in the Merger, and in lieu thereof, any fractional share of OIS Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share of OIS Common Stock; provided that, prior to applying such rounding mechanism with respect to any holder of Shares, all Shares held by such holder shall be aggregated, taking into account all certificates formerly representing Shares delivered by such holder and the aggregate number of Shares represented thereby, and after giving effect to the exercise of any MediVision Options or MediVision Rights to be exercised by such holder in connection with the Closing.

(f)         Termination of Conversion Fund. Any portion of the Conversion Fund that remains unclaimed by MediVision shareholders for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to OIS. Any holder of Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to OIS for delivery of the Conversion Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of OIS, the Surviving Corporation, the Conversion Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 5.01(d)(i)) or other entity of any kind or nature.

(g)        Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Unissued Certificates.

(h)        Withholding Rights. Each of OIS, the Surviving Corporation, and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, MediVision Options or MediVision Rights (collectively, the “Holders”), such amounts as OIS, the Surviving Corporation or the Conversion Agent reasonably determines it may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any payment pursuant to this Agreement under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and by rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Ordinance”), or any other applicable United States, state, local, Israeli or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 5.01(l)) Law, provided, however, that (i) if the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling (as defined in Section 6.12(c)(ii)) is obtained, deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling; (ii) if a Withholding Tax Extension (as defined in Section 6.12(c)(ii)) is obtained, the parties shall fully comply with the provisions of any such Withholding Tax Extension with respect to Taxes covered thereby; and (iii) if any holder of record of Shares provides the Conversion Agent or OIS with a valid approval or ruling issued by the applicable Governmental Entity regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the Conversion Shares in a form reasonably satisfactory to OIS, then the deduction and withholding of any such Taxes under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, from the Conversion Shares payable to such holder of record of Shares shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such approval; provided, further, that OIS shall be entitled but not obligated to deduct and withhold from any shares of OIS Common Stock payable or otherwise deliverable by withholding a portion or all of such shares otherwise deliverable and selling such shares to cover its withholding obligations. MediVision shall provide, as requested by OIS or the Conversion Agent, copies (or originals) of all withholding documentation and related information that may be necessary to determine whether any payment is subject to withholding and to calculate the proper amount (if any) required to be withheld with respect to any payment to any Holder contemplated under this Agreement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by OIS or any party on OIS’s behalf, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the party who withheld such amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity when and as lawfully required and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by OIS.

(i)         Uncertificated MediVision Shares. OIS shall cause the Conversion Agent to (i) issue in registered form, as of the Effective Time, to each holder of CIK Shares, that number of whole shares of OIS Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of each such CIK Share pursuant to this Article IV and (ii) mail to each such holder the Letter of Transmittal and such other materials to be reasonably agreed by OIS and MediVision prior to the Effective Time advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of such holder’s Shares into the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Merger and a check (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) for any cash in payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of such CIK Shares, in each case without any action by such holders.

Section 4.03     Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Shares

 

8

 


or the issued and outstanding shares of OIS Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, redenomination, merger, or other similar transaction, then the Conversion Shares shall be equitably adjusted and, as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Conversion Shares or other dependent item.

 

Section 4.04

Treatment of Stock Options and Warrants.

(a)        Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a “MediVision Option”) under the Option Plans (as defined in Section 5.01(b)(i)(A)), whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, shall be assumed by OIS such that it is converted into an option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase a number of shares of OIS Common Stock equal to the number of Shares underlying such MediVision Option multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to the exercise price per Share of such MediVision Option as in effect immediately prior to the Closing divided by the Conversion Ratio and with such other terms and conditions as were applicable to such MediVision Option (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions); provided, that OIS shall use its reasonable efforts to effect the conversion in such a manner that the Replacement Options shall have the same tax attributes as the MediVision Options; provided, however, that (i) the exercise price and the number of shares of OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Replacement Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A, 422 and 424(a) of the Code, as applicable; (ii) for the purposes of converting option exercise prices, euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of business on the trading date prior to the date of this Agreement; and (iii) the Replacement Options will be issued pursuant to the terms of the OIS Option Plans. For purposes of this Section 4.04(a), OIS shall be considered to have used its "reasonable efforts" to effect the conversion of the MediVision Options so that the Replacement Options have the same tax attributes as the MediVision Options in the following circumstances: (i) if the Options Tax Ruling is not issued prior to the Effective Date, OIS issues “Nonqualified Stock Options,” meaning options which do not qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (“ISOs”), for all of the Replacement Options; and (ii) if the Options Tax Ruling is issued prior to the Effective Date, (A) for the MediVision Options with favorable tax treatment under Israeli tax law as described in Section 6.12(c)(i) (“Favorable MV Options”), OIS coordinates the issuance of such Replacement Options with the Options Tax Ruling so that ISOs may be issued to the extent such conversion is permitted and consistent with Sections 422 and 424(a) of the Code, and (B) for the non-Favorable MV Options, OIS issues Nonqualified Stock Options for such Replacement Options.

(b)        Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant or other right (other than the MediVision Options) to purchase Shares (a “MediVision Right”) shall be assumed by OIS such that it is converted into a warrant or other right of corresponding nature (a “Replacement Right”) to purchase a number of shares of OIS Common Stock equal to the number of Shares underlying such MediVision Right multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share of common stock equal to the exercise price per Share of such MediVision Right as in effect immediately prior to the Closing divided by the Conversion Ratio and with such other terms and conditions as were applicable to such MediVision Right

 

9

 


(including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions); provided, however, that (i) the exercise price and the number of shares of OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Replacement Rights shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as applicable; (ii) in the case of any MediVision Rightto which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Replacement Rights shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; (iii) for the purposes of converting warrant exercise prices, euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of business on the trading date prior to the date of this Agreement; and (iv) to the extent the provisions of any MediVision Right are inconsistent with this Section 4.04(b), the provisions of such MediVision Right shall be controlling; and (v) the Replacement Rights will be issued pursuant to the terms of the existing warrant.

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to OIS by MediVision concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “MediVision Disclosure Letter”), MediVision hereby represents and warrants to OIS and Merger Sub that:

Except as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i) of the MediVision Disclosure Letter, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of share capital or other securities of MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing any such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. Upon any issuance of any Shares in accordance with the terms of the Option Plans or warrants or convertible loan set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i) of the MediVision Disclosure Letter (including payment therefor), such Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Neither MediVision nor CCS is bound by any Contract relating to CCS or its ownership or governance that would be violated or breached by the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not have a MediVision Material Adverse Effect on any of MediVision’s rights or shares it currently holds in CCS.

(iv)      The financial statements (Bilanzen) required to be filed with the commercial registry (Handelsregister) annually by CCS pursuant to German law (Paragraphs 325 and 326 Handelsgesetzbuch) have been or will have been filed prior to Closing in accordance with German law (EHUG).

(iv)      Other than as described in Section 5.01(d)(iv) of the MediVision Disclosure Letter, except for: (A) relationships with MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries as an officer, director, or employee thereof (and compensation by MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries in consideration of such services) in accordance with the terms of their employment; and (B) relationships with MediVision as shareholders or option holders therein, to the knowledge (as defined below) of MediVision, MediVision does not have knowledge of any of the directors or officers, or the shareholders of MediVision, or any known member of any of their families or Affiliates, presently being a party to, or having been a party to during the year preceding the date of this Agreement, any transaction, agreement or arrangement with MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries. MediVision does not have knowledge of any of the officers, directors or Shareholders having any known interest in any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, including inventions, copyrights, trademarks, or trade names, used in or pertaining to the business, or any supplier, distributor, or customer of MediVision, except for the normal rights of a Shareholder, and except for rights under the Option Plans.

15

 


furnished to the Euronext Stock Exchange and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date hereof including any amendments thereto, the “MediVision ESE Reports”). To the best of MediVision’s Knowledge, each of the MediVision ESE Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished complied, or after an amendment was filed complied, or if not yet filed or furnished, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of Law and any rules and regulations applicable to the MediVision ESE Reports. To the best of MediVision’s Knowledge, as of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment) the MediVision ESE Reports did not, and any MediVision ESE Reports filed with or furnished to the Euronext Stock Exchange subsequent to the date hereof will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(ii)       In connection with publication of a prospectus in Belgium in the year 2000, MediVision has been granted from the Israeli Securities Authority (the “ISA”) an exemption from the requirement to publish such prospectus and from the reporting duties generally applicable to Israeli public companies under the Israeli Securities Law 1968 and any regulation promulgated thereunder (“Israeli Securities Law”), subject to such qualifications as stated in such exemption.

(iv)      MediVision does not maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by MediVision is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of MediVision’s filings with the Euronext Stock Exchange and other public disclosure documents. MediVision and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are generally executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are generally recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is generally permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences. MediVision’s management has disclosed to MediVision’s auditors and the audit committee of MediVision’s board of directors (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect MediVision’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and has identified for MediVision’s auditors and audit committee of MediVision’s board of directors any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and (B) any

 

16

 


fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in MediVision’s internal control over financial reporting. MediVision has made available to OIS (i) the material information relating to any such disclosure made by management to MediVision’s auditors and audit committee since December 31, 2000 and (ii) any material communication since December 31, 2000 made by management or MediVision’s auditors to its audit committee. Since December 31, 2000, no material complaints from any source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and no material concerns from MediVision employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, have been received by MediVision. MediVision has made available to OIS the material information relating to all such material complaints or concerns relating to other matters made since December 31, 2000 and through the date hereof. No attorney representing MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported to MediVision any evidence of a violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by MediVision or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to MediVision’s chief legal officer, audit committee (or other committee designated for the purpose) of the board of directors.

(v)       Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into any MediVision Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or, in the case of MediVision Reports filed after the date hereof, will fairly present, in all material respects the consolidated financial position of MediVision and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into MediVision Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or, in the case of MediVision Reports filed after the date hereof, will fairly present, in all material respects the results of operations, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of such companies for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein.

Agreement and (2) is reasonably capable of being completed. The provisions of Section 6.02(d) above shall apply to the Superior Proposal. MediVision shall provide OIS, within three (3) days of the date of approval by MediVision’s Board of Directors of the MediVision Superior Proposal, with written notice of such approval; OIS shall be entitled, within fourteen (14) days of receiving MediVision’s notice, to provide MediVision with another proposal regarding the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereunder, pursuant to terms and conditions more favorable to MediVision than the terms and conditions included in the MediVision Superior Proposal. MediVision, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to accept or reject such other proposal, provided, however, that if MediVision determines to reject such proposal, it shall pay OIS liquidated damages in the sum of USD $500,000 and actual expenses in an amount not to exceed $500,000.

Section 8.05     Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement, including without limitation, the representations and warranties of MediVision, OIS and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement, shall become void and of no effect (except for this Section 8.05 and Article VIII) with no liability to any Person on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, that except as otherwise provided herein, no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages to the other party hereto resulting from any willful or intentional material breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.06     Non Survival of Representations and Warranties. The Representations and warranties of MediVision, OIS and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing and only the covenants that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing.

EXHIBIT A

OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS

VOTING AGREEMENT

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ____________, 2008, by and among Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (“OIS”), and the parties listed on Schedule A (the “Principal MV Shareholders”) (OIS and the Principal MV Shareholders may be referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” and individually, as a “Party”).

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, OIS, MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., an Israeli company (“MediVision”), and MV Acquisitions Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OIS (“Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into MediVision, and the conversion of the outstanding ordinary shares of MediVision into shares of the common stock, no par value, of OIS (the “Common Stock”), with MediVision surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OIS; and

WHEREAS, each of the Principal MV Shareholders is, directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a holder, or a member of a group of related parties that holds, more than 5% of the outstanding ordinary shares of MediVision; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth herein certain matters regarding the voting of the stock of OIS following the closing of the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

 

VOTING

 

Section 1.1

Vote and Consent in Favor of the Merger.

(a)       Subject to that certain Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of [___________ __], 2008, by and among the Principal MV Shareholders and certain other parties listed therein, each Principal MV Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of MediVision presently beneficially owned by such Principal MV Shareholder and all shares of MediVision with respect to which such Principal MV Shareholder in the future acquires beneficial ownership, at any meeting of the shareholders of MediVision, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of MediVision, in favor of the approval, consent and ratification of the Merger Agreement and the Merger; provided, however, that each of the Principal MV Shareholders shall have been satisfied that such vote or action by written consent, at the time it is cast or executed, as the case may be, is not in breach of its duty, in its capacity as a shareholder of MediVision, to act bona fide in exercising its voting rights and not do so in a manner which may constitute deprivation of the minority shareholders(the “Shareholder’s Duty”). Each of the Principal MV Shareholders hereby confirms that at the date of executing this Agreement, such Principal MV Shareholder is satisfied that its Shareholder’s Duty is fulfilled under the terms and

 


conditions hereof, assuming that the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) were effected on the date of execution of this Agreement. To the extent inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1, each Principal MV Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to any shares of MediVision stock that such Principal MV Shareholder owns or has the right to vote.

IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. With respect to disputes involving OIS, the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America, in each case located in The City of New York, solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit, or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit, or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a New York State or Federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 3.13 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

(b)       Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a), if any dispute, claim or controversy shall arise solely among the Principal MV Shareholders as to any issue arising under this Agreement or in respect of the obligations and rights contained herein, which does not involve OIS, the same shall be referred to and settled by the following “arbitration” procedure which may be requested upon the application of any interested party:

(i)               The Principal MV Shareholder(s) defending the claim (the “Defending Party”), may, by written notice to the Principal MV Shareholder(s) asserting the claim (the “Prosecuting Party”), demand arbitration of the matter, which arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The Prosecuting Party and the Defending Party shall use their respective best efforts to agree on the arbitrator, provided that if they cannot so agree within ten (10) business days (or such longer period as they may agree), either the Prosecuting Party or the Defending Party can request that Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services select the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Defending Party and Prosecuting Party an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the other of them about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law and with this Agreement, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law, which shall set forth the basis for the decision of the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the Prosecuting Party and the Defending Party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, either Party may file a judicial action to review the decision of the

 

-5-

 


arbitrator, not for a trial on the merits, but rather solely as to the question of whether or not the arbitrator’s decision was in compliance with applicable law. In the event that the court finds that the arbitrator’s decision was not in compliance with applicable law, then the Parties shall be irrevocably deemed to have jointly requested, in lieu of any appeal or other judicial rights, that the arbitrator amend his decision so that it is in compliance with applicable law. All costs and expenses regarding the foregoing shall be the responsibility of the Prosecuting Party and the Defending Party.

(c)       EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT 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 BY 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) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.4(c).

Section 3.6       Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 3.7       Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 3.8       Additional Shares. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or the like, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Common Stock and/or OIS Shares, as appropriate, for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.9       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

If for any reason the Required Holders request that a pending Underwritten Offering, which is pending due to a Demand Registration, be withdrawn, then the Company shall withdraw such Underwritten Offering, and the Required Holders shall not be entitled to make a further demand for an Underwritten Offering until a period of twelve (12) months has elapsed from the date of the withdrawal.

d.         Notify each of the holders of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, and the underwriters, if any, promptly (but in no event later than three Business Days thereafter) (1) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (4) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and (6) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate or that there exist circumstances not yet disclosed to the public which make further sales under such Registration Statement inadvisable pending such disclosure and post-effective amendment.

e.         Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(d)(2)-(6) and immediately upon the expiration of any suspension pursuant to a Blocking Notice (as defined in Section 5) prepare, if the occurrence of such event or period requires such preparation, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

f.         Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

g.         Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Principal MV Shareholder or underwriter of Registrable Securities reasonably requests in writing; use its best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings or amendments or renewals, during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify to do business or take any action that would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject.

h.         Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the chosen method or methods of distribution.

i.          At any time and from time to time after the earlier of the close of business on such date as (a) a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act becomes effective, (b) the Company registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any federal statute or code which is a successor thereto (the "Exchange Act"), or (c) the Company issues an offering circular meeting the requirements of Regulation A under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make publicly available and available to the Principal MV Shareholders pursuant to Rule 144, such information as is necessary to enable such shareholders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to that Rule. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

5.          Suspensions of Effectiveness. The Company may suspend dispositions under the Registration Statement and notify the Principal MV Shareholders that they may not sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Prospectus (a “Blocking Notice”) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines (x) in its reasonable good faith judgment that the Company’s obligation to ensure that such Registration Statement and Prospectus are current and complete would require the Company to take actions that might reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse detrimental effect on the Company and its stockholders; or (y) there exists any fact or any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue in any material respect, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, in

 

 

6

 

 

 


order to make the statements therein not misleading in any material respect, provided that such suspension pursuant to a Blocking Notice may not exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days (whether or not consecutive) in any twelve (12) month period. The Principal MV Shareholders agree that, upon receipt of a Blocking Notice from the Company indicating the existence of any fact of the kind described in the previous sentence, such Principal MV Shareholders shall not dispose of, sell or offer for sale the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Principal MV Shareholders receive (i) copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus, or until counsel for the Company shall have determined that such disclosure is not required due to subsequent events or (ii) notification in writing from the Company advising that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If so directed by the Company in connection with any such notice, each Principal MV Shareholder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Principal MV Shareholders’ possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was current immediately prior to the time of receipt of such notice.

 

6.

Indemnification.

a.          Company Indemnity. The Company will indemnify each Principal MV Shareholder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Principal MV Shareholder, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including any Prospectus), or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission) that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Principal MV Shareholder or the underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

b.          Principal MV Shareholders Indemnity. Each Principal MV Shareholder (severally and without joint liability) will, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, each other Principal MV Shareholder (if any), and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such other Principal MV Shareholder against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the registration statement (including any Prospectus or other document incident to any such registration or related qualification or compliance with state securities laws),

 

 

7

 

 

 


or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such underwriters and other Principal MV Shareholders and their directors, officers and partners, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Principal MV Shareholder and stated or known to be specifically for use therein, and provided that no Principal MV Shareholder shall be liable under this indemnity for an amount in excess of net proceeds received by such Principal MV Shareholder from the sale of his Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Principal MV Shareholders (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

c.          Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim in any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by such failure to provide notice. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

7.

Contribution.

a.         If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 herein is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein), then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) as between the Company and the Principal MV Holders on the one hand and the Principal MV Shareholders or

 

 

8

 

 

 


underwriters, as the case may be, on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Principal MV Shareholders on the one hand and the Principal MV Holders or underwriters, as the case may be, on the other from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Principal MV Shareholders or underwriters, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations and (ii) as between the Company on the one hand and the Principal MV Shareholders on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of the Principal MV Shareholders in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

b.         The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Principal MV Shareholders or the underwriters, as the case may be, on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities, the proceeds received by the Principal MV Shareholders from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the underwriters as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, as the case may be. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Principal MV Shareholders or underwriters, as the case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Holders or by the underwriters.

c.         In no event shall the obligation of any Indemnifying Party (other than the Company) to contribute under this Section 7 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances.

d.         The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

8.          Lock-up Agreement. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, each Principal MV Shareholder agrees that it shall not sell, make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the underwriter or underwriters, for a period of up to 180 days from the closing date of such Underwritten Offering, on such terms as the managing underwriter may reasonably request.

9.          Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any underwriting agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or by or on behalf of the Company, and (iii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registrable Securities.

10.        Covenants of Principal MV Shareholders. Each Principal MV Shareholder shall promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding such Principal MV Shareholder and the sale of Registrable Securities proposed by such Principal MV Shareholders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. All information provided to the Company by such Principal MV Shareholder shall be accurate and complete in all material respects and such Principal MV Shareholder shall promptly notify the Company if any such information becomes incorrect or incomplete prior to the date any registration with respect to which such information was provided, becomes effective. Each Principal MV Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.

11.        Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Principal MV Shareholders to any transferee of all or any portion of such Principal MV Shareholder’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Principal MV Shareholder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii)  to the extent required by applicable law, immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein that apply to such transferor; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with all applicable securities laws.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Section 2.01     Right of First Refusal. If OIS shall propose to issue to any Offeror that is a competitor of Agfa any Subject Securities (the “Offered Securities”), other than in Excluded Issuances or in issuances which, pursuant to Article Nine of OIS’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, require approval of the holders of 67% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, OIS shall, before consummating such proposed issuance, (i) deliver a Notice to Agfa two weeks prior to the date of such proposed issuance, which Notice shall also include the timing of closingand a statement as to OIS’s obligation to confirm receipt of an ROFR Acceptance, and (ii) provide Agfa the right of first refusal to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Securities (subject to Article III), on the same terms and conditions as OIS proposed to issue such Offered Securities to such Offeror, except as otherwise provided herein. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable by Agfa if it gives a notice (an “ROFR Acceptance”) exercising such right within

(a)       if the Value of the aggregate proposed consideration for the Offered Securities exceeds the Threshold as then in effect, six weeks after delivery by OIS to Agfa of a Notice relating to such Offered Securities, or

(b)       if the Value of the aggregate proposed purchase price for the Offered Securities does not exceed the Threshold, three weeks after delivery to Agfa of a Notice relating to such Offered Securities;

provided that, in either case, OIS and Agfa shall cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to enable Agfa, and Agfa shall use its reasonable efforts, to either exercise its right of first refusal, or inform OIS that it will waive such right, as promptly as practicable after delivery by OIS of a Notice.

(b)       elect to pay cash in an amount equal to the value of the Non-Cash Consideration offered by the Offeror, as determined pursuant to Section 2.04; provided, that Agfa shall not have the right to elect to pay cash if OIS states in the Notice that it needs to obtain the Non-Cash Consideration to pursue a material part of its business or business plans and cannot obtain the same for cash at such value.

If Agfa gives an ROFR Acceptance in response to any Notice, OIS and Agfa shall as promptly as practicable enter into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities, and shall hold a closing of such purchase and sale as promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to Article III.

Section 2.07     Effect of Non-Election. If Agfa does not give an ROFR Acceptance in response to any Notice, OIS may, subject to Article III, sell to the proposed Offeror the Offered Securities, at the same purchase price and payment terms described in the Notice and upon such other terms not more favorable to the Offeror than as described in the Notice, provided that definitive agreements for such purchase and sale are entered into within threemonths after the expiration of the period for giving of an ROFR Acceptance or Agfa’s earlier waiver of its rights under this Article II (the “Offer Period”).Thereafter, the provisions of this Article II shall again apply to any proposed issuance of any of the Offered Securities to any Offeror that is a competitor of Agfa.

ARTICLE III

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 3.01     Preemptive Right. If OIS shall propose to issue to any Offeror any Offered Securities, other than in Excluded Issuances, OIS shall, before consummating such proposed issuance, (i) deliver a Notice to each Principal MV Shareholder two weeks prior to the date of such proposed issuance, which Notice shall also include the timing of closing and a statement as to OIS’s obligation to confirm receipt of a Preemptive Rights Acceptance, and (ii) provide each Principal MV Shareholder the right of first refusal to purchase any or all of such Principal MV Shareholder’s Proportionate Share of such Offered Securities (or, if OIS in the Notice makes the election provided in Section 3.02 to offer a Grossed Up Number of Subject Securities, such Principal MV Shareholder’s Proportionate Share of such Grossed Up Number of Subject Securities), at the price per Offered Security, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, as OIS proposed to issue such Offered Securities to such Offeror, except as otherwise provided herein. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable by each Principal MV Shareholder if it gives a notice (a “Preemptive Rights Acceptance”) stating that it is exercising such right, and stating the number of Subject Securities within, or the percentage of, its Proportionate Share with respect which it is exercising such right, within

(a)       if the Value of the proposed purchase price of Agfa’s Proportionate Share of the Offered Securities exceeds the Threshold as then in effect, six weeks after delivery by OIS to the Principal MV Shareholders of a Notice relating to such Offered Securities, or

(b)       if the Value of the proposed purchase price of Agfa’s Proportionate Share of the Offered Securities does not exceed the Threshold, three weeks after delivery by OIS to the Principal MV Shareholders of a Notice relating to such Offered Securities;

provided that, in either case, OIS and the Principal MV Shareholders shall cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to enable the Principal MV Shareholders, and each Principal MV Shareholder shall use its reasonable efforts to either exercise its right of first refusal or inform OIS that it will waive such right as promptly as practicable after delivery by OIS of a Notice.

Section 3.02     Gross-Up. OIS may, in any Notice, elect to include in the Offered Securities a sufficient number of Offered Securities (the “Grossed-Up Number of Offered Securities”) such that, if each Principal MV Shareholder exercises its right to purchase all of its Proportionate Share of such Grossed-Up Number of Offered Securities, the remaining Offered Securities will be the number of Offered Securities OIS intended to sell to the Offeror (or Agfa if it has and exercises a right of first refusal under Article II).

Section 3.03     Effect of Election. If any Principal MV Shareholder gives a Preemptive Rights Acceptance in response to any Notice, such Principal MV Shareholder shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase, and, subject to Section 3.04, OIS shall be irrevocably obligated to issue and sell to such Principal MV Shareholder, its Proportionate Share of the Offered Securities (or, if OIS made the election provided in Section 3.02, of the Grossed-Up Number of Offered Securities), at the purchase price per Offered Security, and on the other terms, set forth in the Notice, except as provided herein.

Section 3.04     Election Not to Sell. OIS may, at any time prior to the consummation of a sale of Offered Securities, determine not to sell any Offered Securities to the Offeror, or to reduce the number of Offered Securities to be sold to the Offeror, in which event, and provided there is no further change during the Offer Period of the number of Offered Securities, each Principal MV Shareholder, including Agfa, if applicable, shall have the right to purchase only its Proportionate Share, if any, of such Offered Securities (or, if applicable, the Grossed-Up Number of Offered Securities on such reduced basis).

Section 3.05     Payment of or in Lieu of Non-Cash Consideration. If the consideration offered by an Offeror for the Offered Securities consists of Non-Cash Consideration, any Principal MV Shareholder that gives a Preemptive Rights Acceptance shall, in lieu of such Non-Cash Consideration, pay for the Subject Securities it purchases in cash in an amount equal to the Value per Offered Security of the Non-Cash Consideration offered by the Offeror multiplied by the number of Offered Securities so purchased by such Principal MV Shareholders.

Section 3.06     Definitive Documentation and Closing. If any Principal MV Shareholder gives a Preemptive Rights Acceptance in response to any Notice, OIS and the Principal MV Shareholders who have given such Preemptive Rights Acceptances shall as promptly as practicable enter into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities to be purchased by such Principal MV Shareholders, and shall hold a closing of such purchase and sale as promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to Article II.

Section 3.07     Sale of Remaining Offered Securities. Subject to that certain Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of [___________ __], 2008, by and among the Principal MV Shareholders and certain other parties listed therein, OIS shall be entitled to sell to the proposed Offeror any Offered Securities not purchased by the Principal MV Shareholders pursuant to this Article III, at the same purchase price and payment terms described in the Notice and upon such other terms not more favorable to the Offeror than as described in the Notice, provided that definitive agreements for such purchase and sale are entered into within three months after the expiration of the period for giving of Preemptive Rights Acceptances or the earlier waiver by each Principal MV Shareholder of its rights under this Article III. Thereafter, the provisions of this Article III shall again apply to any proposed issuance of any of the Offered Securities.

FORM OF LOCK-UP AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

 

THIS LOCK-UP AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of ___________, 2008, by and among Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned shareholders (each, a “Principal MV Shareholder,” and collectively, “the “Principal MV Shareholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, this Agreement is made pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated March __, 2008, among the Company, MV Acquisitions Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., an Israeli company (“MediVision”).

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into MediVision and cease to exist (the “Merger”), and each outstanding ordinary share of MediVision held by the Principal MV Shareholders immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “MV Shares”) will be converted into 1.66 shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Merger Shares”); and

WHEREAS, it is a condition of the Merger Agreement that the Principal MV Shareholders enter into a lock-up and standstill agreement with the Company in the form of this Agreement relating to the MV Shares and the Merger Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants appearing in this Agreement, the Company and each of the Principal MV Shareholders hereby agree as follows:

1.    Standstill by the Principal MV Shareholders. From the date of this Agreement and thereafter to the Effective Time, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), each Principal MV Shareholder, its affiliates, agents and representatives will not, directly or indirectly: (a) effect or seek, offer, or propose to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way assist any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose to effect or participate in, (i) any acquisition of any securities (or of beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the Company or MediVision, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger, or other business combination involving the Company or MediVision, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution, or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company, or (iv) any solicitation of proxies or consents to vote any voting securities of the Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the Company; (c) take any action which might reasonably be expected to force the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (d) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall preclude the Principal MV Shareholders from taking any of the actions otherwise prohibited by Sections (a) through (d) of the preceding sentence if such action is necessary to consummate the Merger.

 


2.    Lock-Up of the MV Shares and the Merger Shares.

(a)       The Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the United States Security and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the Merger Shares on Form SB-2, or such other form as may be applicable, upon demand by the Principal MV Shareholders holding at least a majority of the Merger Shares and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the staff of the SEC as soon as practicable following the date such registration statement is filed. Regardless of the effective date of the registration statement, the Principal MV Shareholders (not including Agfa Gevaert N.V.) may not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or grant any option to purchase any of the Merger Shares for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary from the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that the Principal MV Shareholders may transfer any Merger Shares: (1) to any partner, shareholder or member of such Principal MV Shareholder if, prior to such transfer, such partner, shareholder or member agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein; or (2) to any controlled affiliate of such Principal MV Shareholder if, prior to such transfer, such affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein.

(b)       From the date of this Agreement and thereafter to the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Date or (b) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the parties hereto, the Principal MV Shareholders may not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or grant any option to purchase any of the MV Shares, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that the Principal MV Shareholders may transfer any MV Shares: (1) to any partner, shareholder or member of such Principal MV Shareholder if, prior to such transfer, such partner, shareholder or member agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein; or (2) to any controlled affiliate of such Principal MV Shareholder if, prior to such transfer, such affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein.

(c)       The Principal MV Shareholders hereby consent to the Company issuing a stop transfer instruction to the transfer agent of MediVision and the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any sale of MV Shares or Merger Shares in violation of this Agreement by any Principal MV Shareholder without the consent of the Board shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

3.          Non-Disclosure. The parties hereto will not disclose, directly or indirectly, the terms of or reveal the existence of this Agreement to any person, firm or entity, other than their respective attorneys, accountants, lenders and representatives who are required to be informed thereof in connection with their approval of the proposed transaction or their representation of the parties in connection with the transaction. Except as otherwise required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no press release or governmental notification, report or other filing by either party relating to the proposed transaction shall be made without the other party’s prior written approval.

 


4.    Miscellaneous.

(a)        Further Actions. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary to effectuate this Agreement.

(b)        Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile at:

The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

(h)        Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

(i)         Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any New York court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(j)         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in two or more separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law and to any limitations in the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation relating to action required to be approved by the Shareholders, as that phrase is defined in Sec. 153 of the California Corporations Code (as defined in Article X), or approved by the outstanding shares, as that phrase is defined in Sec. 152 of the California Corporations Code, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the corporation to a management company or other person, provided that the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board of Directors.

Section 2.        NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The authorized number of Directors shall be the number set forth in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 3.        ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the Shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

Section 4.        VACANCIES. Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, except that a vacancy created by the vote or written consent of the Shareholders or by a court

 


order may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Each Director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the event of the death, resignation or removal of any Director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a Director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony, or if the Board of Directors resolves to increase the number of Directors within the range permitted by the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, or if the Shareholders fail, at any meeting of Shareholders at which any Director or Directors are elected, to elect the number of Directors to be voted for at the meeting.

The Shareholders may elect a Director or Directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the Directors, but any such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

No reduction of the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director before that Director’s term of office expires.

Following appointment by the Board of Directors of any person to fill any vacancy pursuant to these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall call a meeting as soon as reasonably practicable to allow the Shareholders to elect a successor Director to fill such vacancy.

Section 5.        REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS; CALLING OF MEETING TO ELECT SUCCESSOR. The entire Board of Directors or any individual Director may be removed from office as provided by Sections 302, 303 and 304 of the California Corporations Code.

Section 6.        PLACE AND MANNER OF MEETINGS. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation, unless some other place is designated in the notice of the meeting. Members of the Board may participate in a meeting through use of a conference telephone or other electronic communications devices as provided in Sec. 307(a)(6) of the California Corporations Code, so long as all members participating in such a meeting can hear one another.

Section 7.        ORGANIZATION MEETINGS. The organization meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately following adjournment of the annual meeting of the Shareholders.

discuss issues related to business strategy, and one additional meeting to review and approve a budget for the following year for a total of six regular meetings per year. Each member of the Board of Directors may, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such proposed schedule, request a change in the date of any quarterly meeting by up to three (3) days (or seven (7) days, in the case of the meeting to review the prior year’s results and the annual budget meeting). As soon as practicable after receipt of such requested changes, the Chairman of the Board shall resolve any conflicts, and the Secretary shall distribute a revised schedule, which shall accommodate the requested changes to the extent possible and such revised schedule shall constitute the schedule of regular meetings of the Board of Directors for the year.

The schedule of regular meetings described herein, and notices of special meetings described in Section 9 of this Article II, shall state the time and place of the meeting(s). Each such meeting shall begin at approximately 9:30 a.m. Pacific Standard or Daylight (as then in effect) Time, subject to such adjustments as the Chairman of the Board may determine and set forth in the schedule or notice of meetings in order to ensure as nearly as possible the availability of the greatest number of Directors, unless all Directors otherwise agree. No meeting shall be scheduled for a Friday. Any Director may waive any notice before or after a meeting. Any Director may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar electronic communications equipment as provided in Sec. 307(a)(6) of the California Corporations Code, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 9.        SPECIAL MEETINGS - NOTICES - WAIVERS. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman, or by the Secretary at the request of any two (2) Directors (one of whom may be the Secretary if the Secretary is also a Director), on five (5) Business Days’ notice delivered by mail, except that a special meeting may be held on two (2) Business Days’ notice delivered personally or by telephone, including a voice messaging system or by electronic transmission, if the Chairman or Secretary states in the notice of such meeting that such meeting must be held on an emergency basis, specifying in such notice the general nature of such emergency. “An emergency” shall mean an action or approval by the Board of Directors the need for which could not reasonably have been foreseen in order to permit the giving of the greater notice otherwise provided for herein.

“Business Day” for purposes of counting the number of days in a notice period shall mean any day commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time and ending at 5:00 p.m. local time, other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banks located in Sacramento, California; Brussels, Belgium; or Tel Aviv, Israel shall be authorized or required by law to close.

Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to a director who provides a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof in writing, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to that director. These waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Sections 8 and 9 of this Article II may be amended only by unanimous vote or consent of the Directors until after the date on which Agfa Gevaert N.V. Ltd., together with its affiliates, owns less than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the corporation, after which such provisions may be amended by a majority of the Board of Directors.

Such consent shall be filed with the regular minutes of the Board of Directors.

Section 11.      QUORUM. A majority of the number of Directors as fixed by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the action of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, when duly assembled, is valid as a corporate act; provided that a minority of the Directors, in the absence of a quorum, may adjourn from time to time but may not transact any business. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business, notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.
