RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS
INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of
September
7, 2009, by and among New Air, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation"); and the
stockholders of the Corporation listed on Schedule
1 hereto (collectively, the "Holders" and individually, a
"Holder").
W I T N E
S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Holders are the
holders of all issued and outstanding stock of the Corporation on the date
hereof;
WHEREAS, the Holders wish to
guaranty certain rights with respect to the Corporation in connection with their
holdings therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties
hereby agree as follows:
1.
|
Definitions. As
used herein, the following terms have the following
meanings:
|
"Major Holder" -
holder of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of the
Corporation.
"Registration" - the
registration for trade on any stock exchange, OTC system or bulletin board of
the Company's issued share capital pursuant to any applicable securities laws
and regulations, whether as part of an offering to the public or
otherwise.
2.
|
Right of Refusal on Corporation Issuances-
Preemptive Rights.
|
Until the
consummation of a Registration, any stockholder will have the right to purchase
its pro rata portion of any further issuance of New Securities (as hereinafter
defined) by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions below.
2.1.
|
Subject
to the foregoing provision, each Major Holder has rights of first refusal
to purchase for its own account and not for resale, pro rata, all or any
part of New Securities that the Corporation may, from time to time,
propose to sell and issue. The Major Holder's pro rata share shall be the
ratio of the number of shares of the Corporation's stock issued and
outstanding then held by the Major Holder as of the date of the Rights
Notice (as defined below), to the total number of shares of the
Corporation's stock issued and outstanding on such date held by the Major
Holders as of such date.
|
2.2.
|
"New Securities" shall
mean any securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become,
convertible into said shares of the Corporation, except for: (i)
securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other
stock distribution (ii) securities issued pursuant to the grant of
securities or shares pursuant to a stock purchase or stock option plan
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board"); (iii) any
securities issued in an initial public offering of Corporation's
shares.
|
2.3.
|
If
the Corporation proposes to issue New Securities, it shall give the
Stockholders written notice (the "Rights Notice") of its
intention, describing the New Securities, the price, the general terms
upon which the Corporation proposes to issue them and the number of shares
that the Stockholder has the right to purchase under this
Agreement.
|
1
2.4.
|
Each
Stockholder shall have Fourteen (14) days from delivery of the
Rights Notice to agree to purchase up to the full amount of its pro rata
share of such New Securities (the "Basic Amount") for the
price and upon the general terms specified in the Rights Notice, by giving
written notice to the Corporation setting forth the quantity of New
Securities to be purchased and, if such Stockholder shall elect to
purchase all of its Basic Amount, such additional portion of the New
Securities as such Stockholder shall indicate it will purchase should
other Stockholder subscribe for less than their pro rata portion of the
New Securities (the "Under-subscription
Amount"). Failure by a Stockholder to respond to the Rights Notice
within such Fourteen (14) day period will be deemed an unconditional
waiver of the right to participate in such issuance of New
Securities.
|
2.5.
|
If
the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Major Holders are less than the
total amount of the New Securities, then each Stockholder who has set
forth Under-subscription Amounts in its notice of acceptance shall be
entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, all
Under-subscription Amounts it has subscribed for; provided, however, that should the Under-subscription
Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the New Securities
and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Under-subscription
Amount"), each Major Holder who has subscribed for any
Under-subscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion
of the Available Under-subscription Amount as the Under-subscription
Amount subscribed for by such Stockholder bears to the total
Under-subscription Amounts subscribed for by all Major Holders, subject to
rounding by the Board to the extent it reasonably deems
necessary.
|
2.6.
|
If
the Major Holders fail to exercise in full the right of first refusal set
forth in this Section 2 within the period specified above, the Corporation
shall have Ninety (90) days after delivery of the Rights Notice to sell
the unsold New Securities at a price and upon general terms no more
favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Rights Notice.
The Corporation and the Major Holders shall be obligated to consummate the
purchase of such New Securities only to the aggregate extent set forth in
the Rights Notices, and only if the Corporation consummates the sale of
the balance of the offered New Securities not purchased by the
participating Major Holders, pursuant to the terms described in such
Rights Notice. If the Corporation has not sold the New Securities within
said Ninety (90) day period, the Corporation shall not thereafter issue or
sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the
Major Holders in the manner provided
above.
|
2.7.
|
The
aforesaid right to purchase the Under-subscription Amount may be waived by
any or all Major Holders by an affirmative vote or a written
consent.
|
3.
|
Right of Refusal on
Dispositions by the Common Holders and a Right to Tag
Along.
|
3.1.
|
Until
completion of a Registration, if any of the Major Holders (each, a "Selling Stockholder"),
wishes to sell, assign transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all shares
owned by him pursuant to the terms of a bona fide offer
received from a third party, he shall submit a written offer to sell such
shares to the other Major Holders, on terms and conditions,
including price, not less favorable to them than those on which he
proposes to sell such shares to such third party (the "Offer"). The Offer shall
disclose the identity of the proposed purchaser or transferee, the shares
proposed to be sold or transferred (all such shares being referred to as
the "Offered
Shares"), the agreed terms of the sale or transfer and any other
material facts relating to the sale or
transfer.
|
3.2.
|
The
Major Holders shall have the right to purchase, on the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer, his Pro Rata of the Offered Shares. For
the purpose hereof "Pro
Rata Portion" shall mean the aggregate Offered Shares multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of the
Corporation then owned by such Major Holder and the denominator of which
is the aggregate number of shares of the Corporation then held by all
Major Holders.
|
2
3.3.
|
If
a Major Holder does not wish to purchase his/her/its Pro Rata Fraction,
then any other Major Holder who so elects shall have the right to
purchase, on a pro rata basis with any other Major Holder who so
elects any Pro Rata Fraction not purchased by an Major Holder. Each Major
Holder shall act upon the Offer as soon as practicable after receipt of
the Offer, and in all events within 60 days after receipt thereof ("Offer Period"). Each
Major Holder shall have the right to accept the Offer as to all or part of
his/her/its Pro Rata Fraction of the Offered Shares offered thereby. In
the event that a Major Holder shall elect to purchase all or part of the
Offered Shares covered by the Offer, said Major Holder shall individually
communicate in writing such election to purchase to the Selling
Stockholder who has made the Offer, which communication shall be delivered
by hand, fax or mailed to the Selling Stockholder at the address set forth
below and shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer be deemed to
constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale
and purchase of the shares covered
thereby.
|
3.4.
|
In
the event that the Major Holders do not offer to purchase all of the
Offered Shares pursuant to and within the Offered Period, such shares
shall not be subject to the requirements of a prior offer and re-sale
pursuant to this Section 8, and all of the Offered Shares may be sold by
the Selling Stockholder at any time within 120 days after the expiration
of the Offer. Any such sale shall be at not less than the price and upon
other terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable to the purchaser
than those specified in the Offer. Any sale of Offered Shares not sold
within such 120 day period shall again be subject, following such period,
to the requirements of a prior offer and re-sale pursuant to this Section
3.
|
3.5.
|
In
lieu of its rights to purchase the Offered Shares as per the foregoing,
each Major Shareholder shall have a right, by providing the Selling
Shareholder with a written notice to that effect within 15 days from the
date of the Offer, to participate in the sale by a Selling Shareholder and
to sell on account of the Selling Shareholder and in its stead, an amount
of shares out of the Offered Shares that corresponds to the ratio of
holdings between the Selling Shareholder and the Major
Shareholder.
|
4.
|
Permitted
Transfers.
|
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement, transfers of shares to Permitted
Transferees are exempt from restrictions on transfer specified in Section
3.
"Permitted Transferee" shall
mean:
(a)
|
With
respect to an individual: (i) a parent, spouse, brother, sister, or
child of the transferor (each, a "Family Member");
(ii) a company wholly owned by such individual or by such individual
and a Family Member; (iii) such individual's beneficiary (in the event the
individual holds the shares as a trustee), or to such individual's trustee
(including the trustee of a voting trust) and the beneficiary of such a

transferor and the transferee shall undertake in writing towards the
Corporation and its stockholders to be bound, jointly and severally, by
the undertakings and obligations of the transferor hereunder; and in the
case of a transfer to a wholly owned company, also that such company shall
remain a wholly owned company of the transferor at all times it holds
shares in the Corporation;
|
(b)
|
With
respect to an incorporated entity (whether a company or partnership) which
is not a company to which shares have been transferred as a Permitted
Transferee under subsection (a) above: any legal entity which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the
transferor;
|
Provided
however that no transfer shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 4 unless
the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
5.
|
Bring
Along.
|
Until
completion of a Registration, in the event that parties hereto that hold at
least 75% of the outstanding share capital of the Corporation, accept an offer
to sell all of their holdings in the Corporation to a third party purchaser (the
"Purchaser") and such
sale is conditioned upon the sale to the Purchaser of all remaining outstanding
stock in the Corporation, then all the parties hereto shall be required to sell
their stock in such transaction (and if requested by the Purchaser, also all of
their other securities in the Corporation), on the same terms and
conditions.
