This Memorandum will confirm the agreement of Xxxx Xxxxx (“X. Xxxxx”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxx (“X.

Schedule A indicates the shares of BFC’s Class A and Class B Common Stock currently beneficially owned or otherwise controlled by X. Xxxxx and X. Xxxxx.
This Memorandum documents our agreement as follows:
1. | Until X. Xxxxx’x death, X. Xxxxx agrees to vote all of the Class B Common Stock directly or indirectly beneficially owned by him or which otherwise are subject to his control in the same manner that X.

Xxxxx each individually desire to serve as directors of BFC, all shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or controlled by X. Xxxxx and X. Xxxxx will be voted in favor of X. Xxxxx’x and X. Xxxxx’x election to BFC’s Board of Directors. Upon X. Xxxxx’x request, X. Xxxxx will xxxxx X. Xxxxx a proxy to vote all of the shares of Class B Common Stock that are from time to time, directly or indirectly, beneficially owned or otherwise controlled by him. |
2. | The restrictions on voting and the proxy that X. Xxxxx is granting to X. Xxxxx in this Memorandum will apply to all of X. Xxxxx’x shares of Class B Common Stock whether now or hereafter beneficially owned or controlled by him. |
3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, X. Xxxxx may not transfer the ownership or control of the shares of Class B Common Stock owned or controlled by him, or otherwise transfer the right to vote such shares, except (i) to family members of X. Xxxxx or to a trust for the benefit of such family members in connection with estate planning or (ii) to X. Xxxxx’x estate or its beneficiaries; provided, however, in each case the transferee shall upon any such transfer be deemed to be bound hereby and treated for all purposes as X. Xxxxx hereunder. |
3.1 | Further, until the death of X. Xxxxx, X. Xxxxx will not sell, transfer or convert into shares of Class A Common Stock the shares of Class B Common Stock directly or indirectly beneficially owned or controlled by him without the prior written approval of X. Xxxxx if the affect of such sale or conversion would reduce his ownership of Class B Common Stock below 600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. |
4. | Upon request, the parties will deliver their shares of Class B Common Stock to BFC so that an appropriate legend regarding this Memorandum may be placed on them, and X. Xxxxx agrees that any certificate representing shares of Class B Common Stock that he may from time to time acquire will also bear an appropriate legend regarding this Memorandum. The enforceability of this Memorandum and the proxy granted hereby will not be affected by the fact that the certificates have not been delivered as provided for herein or that the certificates may not bear any legend with respect to the provisions of this Memorandum. |
5. | This Memorandum does not restrict in any way the transfer of any shares of Class A Common Stock that X. Xxxxx may now or hereafter own or control, including shares acquired upon a permitted conversion of Class B Common Stock and nothing herein restricts in any way the transfer of any shares of BFC Class A Common Stock or BFC Class B Common Stock owned or controlled by X. Xxxxx. |
X. Xxxxx and X. Xxxxx each agree that they would each suffer irreparable harm if the provisions of this Memorandum were not enforced in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, they each agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which they be entitled, they will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or enjoin a breach of the provisions of this agreement and to specifically enforce its terms. If any provision of this Memorandum is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this agreement.
