The Acquisition At the Closing (as defined below), each Stockholder shall sell to Group 1 and Group 1 shall purchase from each Stockholder that number of shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share of the Company ("Company Common Stock") as set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto in exchange for that number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share of Group 1 ("Group 1 Common Stock") set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto (as may be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and/or stock dividends). In the event that the Board of Directors of Group 1 approves a reverse stock split upon the recommendation of the Representatives of the Underwriters in connection with the IPO, the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock to be received by the shareholders of the Founding Companies shall be decreased proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split; provided, however, that in the event that the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split recommended by the Representatives of the Underwriters is less than the number of shares resulting from a 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split, a 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split shall be implemented and the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock resulting from such 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split to be received by the shareholders of the Founding Companies shall be further decreased proportionately to the number of shares that would have been issued to the shareholders of the Founding Companies had the reverse stock split recommended by the Representatives of the Underwriters been implemented. If the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock received by a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement includes a fractional share as a result of a reverse stock split affecting the Group 1 Common Stock, such fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Group 1 Common Stock.
