2.1 NOTICE. Subject to Section 4.1, in the event a
Transferring Stockholder desires to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (a
"Transfer") any or all of the Shares owned of record or beneficially by such
Transferring Stockholder (the "Target Shares"), such Transferring Stockholder
shall promptly deliver to the Company and the other Stockholders, a written
notice of such intended disposition (a "Disposition Notice") setting forth the
proposed terms and conditions thereof, including the number and type of
securities to be disposed of, any conditions to such disposition, the proposed
timing of such disposition, and the minimum consideration such Transferring
Stockholder will accept in payment for such securities. Except as otherwise
provided herein, a Transferring Stockholder may not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Shares unless he, she or it delivers to the Company and the other
Stockholders a Disposition Notice and complies with the provisions of this
Section 2 or unless the proposed sale, transfer or disposition is exempt under
Section 4 hereof from the right of first offer granted herein.
2.2 THE COMPANY'S RIGHT. The Company shall, for a period
of thirty (30) days following receipt of a Disposition Notice, have the right to
purchase the Target Shares specified therein upon the terms and conditions
specified in the Disposition Notice, subject to the conditions contained in this
Section 2.2. Such right shall be exercisable by written notice (the "Exercise
Notice") delivered to the Transferring Stockholder and the other Stockholders
prior to the expiration of such thirty-day exercise period. If such right is
exercised with respect to all of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition
Notice, then the Company shall complete the purchase of such Target Shares, by
no later than ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Exercise Notice.
At such time, the Transferring Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the
certificates representing the Target Shares to be purchased, each certificate to
be properly endorsed for transfer. Alternatively, if such right is exercised
with respect to only a portion of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition
Notice, then such right to purchase shall be contingent upon the election of one
or more of the Stockholders to purchase the remaining Target Shares. If the
Company shall notify the Stockholders of the Company's intent to purchase only a
portion of the Target Shares within the thirty-day exercise period above
defined, then the Company's purchase of such Target Shares shall be consummated,
if at all, at the time of the Stockholders' exercise of its purchase rights in
accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. In the event one or more of the Stockholders
do not
3
elect to purchase the remaining Target Shares, the Company shall be deemed to
have waived its right under this Section 2.2.
2.3 THE STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHT. Subject to the rights of the
Company under Section 2.2 hereof, the Stockholders other than the Transferring
Stockholder, for a period of the shorter of (i) thirty (30) days from receipt of
the Disposition Notice and (ii) fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice
of the Company's election either to waive its purchase right or to purchase only
a portion of the Target Shares, shall have the right to purchase all, or the
remaining balance after giving effect to the Company's exercise of its right to
purchase, of the Target Shares, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Disposition Notice. The other Stockholders shall exercise such right in the same
manner and subject to the same rights and conditions as the Company, as more
specifically set forth in Section 2.2 above. To the extent that the Stockholders
provide notice of exercise of such right in amounts which aggregate more than
the number of Target Shares the number of Target Shares to be acquired by each
Stockholder providing notice of exercise shall be allocated among the
Stockholders providing notice of exercise based on the number of shares each
such Stockholder has set forth in its notice of exercise.
2.4 NON-EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHT. In the event an
Exercise Notice or Exercise Notices with respect to all of the Target Shares is
not given to the Transferring Stockholder by the Company and/or the other
Stockholders within the period specified herein following the date of the
Company's and the other Stockholders' receipt of the Disposition Notice, then
subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Transferring
Stockholder shall have a period of ninety (90) days thereafter in which to sell
those Target Shares which are not acquired pursuant to the Exercise Notes upon
terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to the
acquirer than those specified in the Disposition Notice. It shall be a condition
to any such disposition that the acquirer agree to be bound by and comply with
all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Transferring
Stockholder with respect to such Target Shares. In the event the Transferring
Stockholder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Target Shares
within such ninety (90) day period, the Company's and the other Stockholders'
purchase rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of
the Target Shares by the Transferring Stockholder until such right terminates in
accordance with Section 11.1.
3. CO-SALE RIGHTS
3.1 NOTICE. In the event a Transferring Stockholder
desires to accept a bona fide offer from a financially capable acquiror for the
sale, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the Shares owned of record
or beneficially by such Transferring Stockholder and having a sales price of
$500,000 or more (the "Sale Shares"), such Transferring Stockholder shall
promptly deliver to the Company and the other Stockholders a written notice of
such intended disposition (a "Sale Notice") setting forth the terms and
conditions thereof, including the number and type of securities to be disposed
of, any conditions to such disposition, the proposed timing of such disposition,
the consideration to be paid for such securities and the identity of the
proposed acquirer.
4
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Transferring Stockholder may not sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of Shares at an aggregate price of $500,000 or
more unless he, she or it delivers to the Company and the Stockholders a
Disposition Notice and complies with the provisions of this Section 3 or unless
the proposed sale, transfer or disposition is exempt under Section 4 hereof from
the co-sale rights granted herein.
3.2 GRANT OF CO-SALE RIGHTS. Each Stockholder (other than
the Transferring Stockholder) shall have the right, exercisable upon written
notice to the Transferring Stockholder within thirty days (30) after receipt of
the Transferring Stockholder's Sale Notice, to participate in such sale of the
Sale Shares on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale
Notice. To the extent any other Stockholder exercises such right of
participation (a "Participating Stockholder"), the number of shares of Sale
Shares that the Transferring Stockholder may sell in the transaction shall be
correspondingly reduced. The right of participation of each Stockholder shall be
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2.
3.2.1. Each Participating Stockholder and the
Transferring Stockholder shall be deemed to own the number of shares of Common
Stock that he, she or it actually owns plus the number of shares of Common Stock
that are issuable upon conversion of any of the shares of Preferred Stock and
other convertible securities of the Company or upon the exercise of any
warrants, options or similar rights then owned by such Participating Stockholder
and the Transferring Stockholder at an exercise price as of the date of the sale
which is less than the purchase price specified in the Sale Notice.
3.2.2. Each Participating Stockholder may sell all or
any part of a number of Sale Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the aggregate number of Sale Shares by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deemed to be owned
by such Participating Stockholder and the denominator of which is the total
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company deemed to be owned
by the Transferring Stockholder and all Participating Stockholders.
3.2.3. Each Participating Stockholder may effect its
participation in the sale by delivering to the Transferring Stockholder for
transfer to the acquirer one or more certificates, properly endorsed for
transfer, which represent the number of shares that it elects to sell pursuant
to this Section 3.2.
3.3 PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS. The stock certificates that the
Participating Stockholders deliver to the Transferring Stockholder pursuant to
Section 3.2 shall be transferred by the Transferring Stockholder to the acquirer
in consummation of the sale of the Sale Shares pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in the Sale Notice to the Stockholder, and the Transferring
Stockholder shall promptly thereafter remit to the Participating Stockholders
against delivery of their stock certificates that portion of the sale proceeds
to which such Participating Stockholder is entitled by reason of its
participation in such sale.
5
3.4 NON-EXERCISE. The exercise or non-exercise of the
rights of the Participating Stockholders hereunder to participate in one or more
sales of Sale Shares made by the Transferring Stockholder shall not adversely
affect the Participating Stockholders' right to participate in subsequent sales
by the Transferring Stockholder. In the event none of the Stockholders elect to
exercise their co-sale rights hereunder with respect to a disposition or in the
event of a partial exercise, the Transferring Stockholder that sent the Sale
Notice regarding such disposition may consummate such disposition in accordance
with the terms specified in the Sale Notice but only within ninety (90) days
after the expiration of the Stockholders' co-sale rights.
3.5 COMPANY REPURCHASE. The provisions of this Section 3
shall not apply to the sale of any stock to the Company including a sale
pursuant to the exercise by the Company of its purchase right under Section 2
hereof.
3.6 PROHIBITED TRANSFERS. In the event the Transferring
Stockholder should sell any Sale Shares in contravention of the co-sale rights
of any other Stockholder under this Agreement (a "Prohibited Transfer"), such
other Stockholder shall have, without limiting any other rights available to
such other Stockholder, the put option provided in this Section 3.6. In the
event of a Prohibited Transfer, such other Stockholder shall have the option to
sell to the Transferring Stockholder, and the Transferring Stockholder shall
have the obligation to purchase, a number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company (either directly or through delivery of convertible securities) equal to
the number of shares that such other Stockholder would have been entitled to
sell had such Prohibited Transfer been effected in accordance with Section 3.2
hereof, on the following terms and conditions:
3.6.1. The price per share at which the shares are to
be sold to the Transferring Stockholder shall be equal to the price per share
paid to the Transferring Stockholder by the third-party acquiror or acquirer of
the Transferring Stockholder's Stock in the disposition referenced in the Sale
Notice.
3.6.2. The other Stockholder shall deliver to the
Transferring Stockholder, within thirty (30) days after he, she or it has
received notice from the Transferring Stockholder or otherwise become aware of
the Prohibited Transfer, the certificate or certificates representing shares to
be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.
3.6.3. The Transferring Stockholder shall, upon and
against receipt of the certificates for the repurchased shares, pay the
aggregate purchase price therefor, by certified check or bank draft made payable
to the order of such other Stockholder.
4. EXEMPT TRANSFERS
4.1 GENERALLY. Subject to the further exemptions set forth
in Section 4.2 below, neither the purchase rights of the Company and the
