Exhibit 3.2
of the
Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement")
entered into the 9th of January 2001 by and between
ABN Equities Inc. ("ABN"), and Xxxxxx Xxxx ("Levy")
TAG-ALONG OPTION
Article 12. ABN shall not, in any transaction or series of related or unrelated
transactions, directly or indirectly, make any sale of, or otherwise dispose for
value of, any QUOTAS held by it to any third party other than an "ABN Permitted
Transferee" (as defined in the First Paragraph of this Article 12) unless the
terms and conditions of such sale or other disposition shall contain an offer to
include, at the option of Levy, in such sale or other disposition to the third
party, the "Pro Rata Portion"(as defined in the Third Paragraph of this Article
12) of the quotas then owned by Levy.
FIRST PARAGRAPH. For purposes of this Article 12, "ABN PERMITTED TRANSFEREE"
means any stockholder or Affiliate of ABN. "AFFILIATE" of a Person means any
other PERSON that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries,
controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person.
"PERSON" means any individual, legal person or unicorporated organization.
"CONTROL" (including the terms "CONTROLLED BY" and "UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH"),
with respect to the relationship between or among two or more Persons, means the
possession, directly or indirectly or as trustee or executor, of the power to
direct or cause the direction of the affairs or management of a Person, whether
through the ownership of voting securities, as trustee or executor, by contract
or otherwise, including, without limitation, the ownership, directly or
indirectly, of securities having the power to elect a majority of the board of
directors or similar body governing the affairs of such Person.
SECOND PARAGRAPH. If ABN proposes to transfer to a third party (the "Tag-Along
Transfer"), any QUOTAS held by ABN (the "Tag-Along Quotas"), ABN shall provide
written notice (the "Offer Notice") of such Tag-Along Transfer to Levy not later
than ten (10) calendar days prior to the consummation of the sale or other
disposition contemplated by the Tag-Along Transfer. The Offer Notice shall
identify the prospective buyer or buyers of the Tag-Along Quotas ( the
"Prospective Buyers"), the number of the Tag-Along Quotas proposed to be
transferred, the price to be paid for each of the Tag-Along Quotas (the "Offer
Price"), all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Transfer and,
in case of a transfer in which the consideration payable for the Tag-Along
Quotas consists in whole or in part of consideration other than cash, such
information relating to such other consideration as may be reasonably necessary
to ascertain the cash value of such other consideration.
THIRD PARAGRAPH. Levy shall have the right and option, for a period of five (5)
calendar days after the date the Offer Notice is given (the "Notice Period"), to
notify ABN of his interest in selling or otherwise disposing of up to the Pro
Rata Portion of the QUOTAS then owned by him pursuant to the Tag-Along Transfer.
For purposes of this Article 12, "Pro Rata Portion" means the number of QUOTAS
equal to the product of (i) the total number of QUOTAS then owned by Levy, and
(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of QUOTAS
proposed to be sold by ABN pursuant to the Tag-Along Transfer, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of QUOTAS then owned by ABN.
FOURTH PARAGRAPH. If Levy desires to exercise the option provided for in the
Third Paragraph of this Article 12, Levy shall, prior to the expiration of the
Notice Period, provide ABN with a written notice (the "Notice of Interest")
specifying the number of QUOTAS which he has an interest in selling or otherwise
disposing of pursuant to the Tag-Along Transfer and shall, simultaneously with
the Notice of Interest, deliver to ABN: (a) a special irrevocable power of
attorney (the "Power of Attorney"), in form reasonably satisfactory to ABN
authorizing ABN, on behalf of Levy, to sell or otherwise dispose of Levy's
QUOTAS specified in the Notice of Interest, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Tag-Along Transfer, at a price equal to the Offer Price, and to take all
such actions as shall be necessary or appropriate in order to consummate such
sale or other disposition, and (b) documentation providing indemnity to the
Prospective Buyers regarding his title to the Levy's QUOTAS AND THE ABSENCE OF
ANY ENCUMBRANCES THEREON, but excluding indemnities regarding the business or
financial condition of Limitada.
FIFTH PARAGRAPH. Promptly after the consummation of the sale or other
disposition of the Tag-Along Quotas and the QUOTAS of Levy to the third party
pursuant to the Tag-Along Transfer, ABN shall, within ten (10) calendar days of
receipt of the Offer Price, pay to Levy the portion of the Offer Price
corresponding to the quotas of Levy sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant
thereto.
SIXTH PARAGRAPH. If at the end of the Notice Period, Levy shall not have given a
Notice of Interest (and delivered the Power of Attorney), Levy will be deemed to
have waived all of its rights under this Article 12 with respect to the sale or
other disposition of its QUOTAS pursuant to the Tag-Along Transfer with respect
to which a Notice of Interest shall not have been given.
SEVENTH PARAGRAPH. If, at the end of the 180-day period following the giving of
the Offer Notice, ABN have not completed the sale or other disposition of all
the Tag-Along Quotas and the QUOTAS with respect to which Levy shall have given
a Notice of Interest pursuant to this Article 12, then such Tag-Along Transfer
shall be deemed cancelled and of no further effect and ABN shall return to Levy
the Powers-of-Attorney.
EIGHTH PARAGRAPH. Except as expressly provided in this Article 12, ABN shall
have no obligation to Levy with respect to the sale or other disposition of any
QUOTAS owned by Levy in connection with this Article 12. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding and irrespective of whether any Notice of Interest
shall have been given, ABN shall have no obligation to Levy to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Tag-Along Quotas pursuant to this Article 12 as a result of any
decision by ABN not to accept or consummate any Tag-Along Transfer or sale or
other disposition with respect to the Tag-Along Quotas (it being understood that
any and all such decisions shall be made by ABN in its sole discretion). Levy
shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of QUOTAS directly to any
Prospective Buyers, whether or not pursuant to a Tag-Along Transfer, or to any
third party (it being understood that all such sales and other dispositions
shall be made only on the terms and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this
Article 12 or in the Agreement).
