day of June 1999, by and among PEMSTAR Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the
"Company"), the holders of Common Stock of the Company listed on the attached
Schedule A (individually, a "Common Holder" and collectively, the "Common
Holders"), and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock of the Company listed on the attached Schedule B (individually, a
"Preferred Holder" and collectively, the "Preferred Holders").
RECITALS
--------
A. Pursuant to that certain Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of the date hereof among the Company and certain of the Preferred
Holders, certain of the Preferred Holders are purchasing or agreeing to purchase
an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Financing").
B. In order to induce certain of the Preferred Holders to purchase the
Series B Preferred Stock, the Common Holders desire to grant to the Company and
the Preferred Holders rights of first refusal and co-sale with respect to the
Common Holders' shares of Common Stock of the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
a. "Common Stock" shall mean the Company's Common Stock and shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Company's
outstanding Preferred Stock.
b. "Preferred Stock" shall mean the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock now owned or subsequently acquired by the
Preferred Holders.
c. "Stock" shall mean shares of the Company's Common Stock now owned
or subsequently acquired by the Common Holders.
d. "Transfer" shall mean any direct or indirect sale, exchange,
transfer, assignment, pledge, creation of a security interest in, or
encumbrance on, or other disposition by a Common Holder of all or any
portion of such Common Holder's interest in the Common Stock or any
economic interest therein (including without limitation by means of any
participation or swap transaction).
2. Right of First Refusal.
a. Notice to the Company and Preferred Holders.
(1) In the event any Common Holder (the "Transferring
Shareholder") desires to Transfer any Stock other than as specifically
provided in Section 5 below, such Transferring Shareholder must
deliver a notice in writing by certified mail ("Notice") to the
Company stating (A) his bona fide intention to Transfer such shares,
(B) the number of such shares to be Transferred, (C) the price, if
any, for which he proposes to Transfer such shares, and (D) the name
of the proposed purchaser or transferee.
(2) In the event the proposed Transfer is partially or completely
in exchange for assets other than cash, then such assets shall be
deemed to have a cash value in the amount determined by the Company's
Board of Directors in its sole good faith opinion, in which case such
cash value ascertained by the Board, when added to any cash to be
exchanged and then divided by the number of shares of Stock to be
Transferred, shall be deemed the price per share set forth in the
Notice. In the event of a gift, property settlement or other Transfer
in which the proposed purchaser or transferee is not paying the full
price for the Stock, which Transfer is not otherwise exempted from the
terms of Section 2 and 3 hereof, the price shall be deemed to be the
fair market value of the Stock as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors.
b. Company Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have an
exclusive, irrevocable option (the "Company Option"), at any time within
twenty (20) days of receipt of the Notice, to purchase all (but not less
than all) of the Stock to which the Notice refers at the price per share
specified in the Notice (as determined in Section 2(a)(ii)). The Company
shall exercise the Company Option by written notice signed by an officer of
the Company and delivered or mailed to the Transferring Shareholder (the
"Company Settlement Notice"), which notice shall specify the time, place
and date for settlement of such purchase.
c. Company Settlement. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Company
Settlement Notice, the Transferring Shareholder must deliver to the Company
all certificates for the Stock being acquired by the Company, together with
proper assignments in blank of the Stock with signatures properly
guaranteed and with such other documents as may be required by the Company
to provide reasonable assurance that each necessary endorsement is genuine
and effective, and the Company must thereupon deliver to the Transferring
Shareholder full cash payment for the Stock being acquired, provided that
if the terms of payment set forth in the Notice were other than cash
against delivery, the Company shall pay for said shares on the same terms
and conditions set forth in such Notice.
d. Preferred Holders' Right of First Refusal. In the event that the
Company does not exercise the Company Option, the Company shall, not later
than twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Notice, give written
notice to the Preferred Holders of the Company's nonexercise of the Company
Option, which notice
shall enclose the Notice and shall specify the procedures by which each
Preferred Holder may exercise the option to purchase not more than its Pro
Rata Share (as defined in Section 2(g) below) of the Stock to which the
Notice refers (the "Preferred Holder Option"). For twenty (20) calendar
days following the expiration of the Company Option, each Preferred Holder
may exercise its Preferred Holder Option at the same price and upon the
same terms as set forth in the Notice. Any Preferred Holder desiring to
exercise its Preferred Holder Option shall deliver to the Company and to
the Transferring Shareholder a written notice of election to purchase the
shares with respect to which the Preferred Holder Option is to be
exercised.
e. Assignment of Preferred Holder Option. Each Preferred Holder may
assign its rights under this Section 2 to (i) any of its limited partners
or shareholders, (ii) any entity related to or affiliated with such
Preferred Holder, or (iii) another Preferred Holder; provided, however,
that if payment is to be made in any manner other than all cash against
delivery of the Stock being sold, such assignee must be at least as
creditworthy as the Preferred Holder so assigning its rights or the payment
for the Stock must be guaranteed by the Preferred Holder so assigning its
rights, and provided, further, however, that the issuance of such shares of
Stock to the assignee shall be exempt from registration.
f. Preferred Holder Settlement. Promptly upon expiration of the
Preferred Holder Option, the Company shall deliver a notice in writing to
the Transferring Shareholder and each Preferred Holder and/or assignee who
elected to acquire a portion of the Stock subject to the Preferred Holder
Option (the "Preferred Holder Settlement Notice") setting forth the number
of shares of Stock to be sold to each Preferred Holder and/or assignee and
the price thereof. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Preferred Holder
Settlement Notice, the Transferring Shareholder must deliver to the Company
any certificates for the Stock being acquired by the Preferred Holders
and/or assignees, together with proper assignments in blank of the Stock
with signatures properly guaranteed and with such other documents as may be
required by the Company to provide reasonable assurance that each necessary
endorsement is genuine and effective. Within ten (10) days of receipt of
the Preferred Holder Settlement Notice, each Preferred Holder and/or
assignee acquiring a portion of the Stock must deliver to the Company full
cash payment for the portion of the subject Stock being so acquired,
provided that if the terms of payment set forth in the Notice were other
than cash against delivery, the Preferred Holders electing to acquire a
portion of the subject Stock and/or their assignees shall pay for said
shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in such Notice. The
Company shall thereafter promptly remit full payment for the Stock acquired
hereby to the Transferring Shareholder and deliver the new or assigned
certificates to the Preferred Holders and/or assignees, as appropriate.
g. Determination of Pro Rata Share. For purposes of Section 2 above,
each Preferred Holder's "Pro Rata Share" is the ratio of (i) the total
number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by such Preferred
Holder as of the date of the Notice (on an as-converted to Common Stock
basis) to (ii) the total aggregate shares of Common Stock and Preferred
Stock held by all Preferred Holders
as of such date that have elected to exercise the Preferred Holder Option
(on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).
3. Co-Sale Rights.
a. Notice to Preferred Holders. In the event that less than all of the
shares of Stock proposed to be Transferred by a Transferring Shareholder
are acquired by the Company and/or Preferred Holders (or their assignees)
pursuant to the Company Option and/or the Preferred Holder Option set forth
in Section 2 above (collectively, the "Options"), the Company shall
deliver, promptly upon expiration of the Options, a notice in writing to
each Preferred Holder (the "Co-Sale Notice") reiterating the names of the
prospective purchaser, a transferee, the number of shares of Stock proposed
to be Transferred and not acquired pursuant to the Options, and the price
per share at which such shares are proposed to be Transferred.
b. Rights of Co-Sale. Each Preferred Holder shall have the right,
exercisable upon written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within ten
(10) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such sale
of Stock on the same terms and conditions. To the extent one or more of the
Preferred Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Stock
that the Transferring Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be
correspondingly reduced.
c. Determination of Participation Right. Each Preferred Holder may
sell all or any part of that number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number
of shares of Stock covered by the Co-Sale Notice by (ii) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by or
issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock owned by such
Preferred Holder at the time of the Transfer and the denominator of which
is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Transferring
Shareholder plus the number of shares of Common Stock owned by or issuable
upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock owned by all of the
Preferred Holders at the time of the Transfer.
d. Rights of Participating Preferred Holders. If any Preferred Holder
fails to elect to fully participate in such Transferring Shareholder's sale
pursuant to this Section 3, the Transferring Shareholder shall give notice
of such failure to the Preferred Holders who did so elect (the
"Participating Preferred Holders"). Such notice may be made by telephone if
confirmed in writing within two (2) days. The Participating Preferred
Holders shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the
Transferring Shareholder within five (5) days from the date such notice was
given, to sell additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock equal
to their pro rata share of the unsold portion. For purposes of this Section
3(d), a Participating Preferred Holder's pro rata share of the unsold
portion shall be the ratio of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock held
by or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by
such Participating Preferred Holder to (y) the total number of shares of
Common Stock held by or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred
Stock held by all of the Participating Preferred Holders plus the number of
shares of
Common Stock held by the Transferring Shareholder.
e. Delivery of Shares. Each Participating Preferred Holder shall
effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the
Transferring Shareholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser or
transferee one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which
represent:
(1) the type and number of shares of Common Stock which such
Participating Preferred Holder elects to sell; or
(2) that number of shares of Preferred Stock which is at such
time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which such
Participating Preferred Holder elects to sell; provided, however, that
if the prospective purchaser or transferee objects to the delivery of
Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Participating Preferred
Holder shall convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and
deliver Common Stock as provided in Section 3(e)(i) above. The Company
agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer
of such shares to the purchaser or transferee.
f. Settlement. The stock certificate or certificates that the
Participating Preferred Holder delivers to the Transferring Shareholder
pursuant to Section 2(e) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser
or transferee in consummation of the sale of the Stock pursuant to the
terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Transferring
Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Participating
Preferred Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such
Participating Preferred Holder is entitled by reason of its participation
in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or transferee
prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other
securities from a Participating Preferred Holder exercising its rights of
co-sale hereunder, the Transferring Shareholder shall not sell to such
prospective purchaser or transferee any Stock unless and until,
simultaneously with such sale, the Transferring Shareholder shall purchase
such shares or other securities from such Participating Preferred Holder.
g. No Prejudice from Non-Exercise. The exercise or non-exercise of the
rights of the Preferred Holders hereunder to participate in one or more
sales of Stock made by the Transferring Shareholder shall not adversely
affect their rights to participate in subsequent sales of Stock subject to
this Section 3.
4. Additional Rights of Preferred Holders.
a. Prohibited Transfers. In the event a Common Holder should sell any
Stock in contravention of the co-sale rights of the Preferred Holders under
Section 3 (a "Prohibited Transfer"), the Preferred Holders, in addition to
such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder,
shall have the put option provided below, and the Common Holder shall be
bound by the applicable provisions of such option.
x. Xxxxx of Put Option. In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each
Preferred Holder shall have the right to sell to the Common Holder the type
and number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares each Preferred
Holder would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser or transferee
had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance
with the terms of Section 3 above (the "Put Option"). Such sale shall be
made on the following terms and conditions:
(1) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the
Common Holder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the
purchaser or transferee to the Common Holder in the Prohibited
Transfer. The Common Holder shall also reimburse each Preferred Holder
for any and all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable
legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise of the Put
Option.
(2) Within forty-five (45) days after the later of the dates on
which the Preferred Holder (A) received notice of the Prohibited
Transfer or (B) otherwise becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer,
each Preferred Holder shall, if exercising the Put Option, deliver to
the Common Holder a notice exercising the Put Option (the "Put Option
Notice").
(3) Immediately upon receipt of the Put Option Notice, the Common
Holder shall make available the aggregate purchase price therefor and
the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Section
4(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to the Preferred Holder.
The Preferred Holder shall concurrently make available to the Common
Holder the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
sold, each properly endorsed for transfer.
c. Prohibited Transfers Void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
attempt by a Common Holder to Transfer Stock in violation of Sections
2 or 3 hereof, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, shall be void and
the Company agrees it will use its reasonable best efforts to not
effect such a Transfer or treat any alleged transferee as the holder
of such Stock.
5. Exempt Transfers.
a. Transfers to Affiliates. Notwithstanding the rights of first
refusal and co-sale rights set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement,
a Common Holder may Transfer all or any part of the Stock owned by such
Common Holder:

Immediate Family if by gift, where "Immediate Family" means any
parent, spouse, child, grandchild, brother or sister of the Common
Holder or any trust for the sole benefit of any or all of such
persons, and (B) to his or her heirs, executors or other fiduciaries
pursuant to a last will and testament; and
(2) in the case of any other Common Holder, (A) to its
Affiliates, where "Affiliates" means any other person or entity that,
directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediaries, is in control of, is controlled
by, or is under common control with such Common Holder, and (B) to its
successors in interest.
b. De Minimus Transfers. Notwithstanding the Preferred Holders'
co-sale rights set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, each Common Holder
may Transfer up to a cumulative total of twenty-five thousand (25,000)
shares of Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations) owned by such Common
Holder free of the Preferred Holders' co-sale rights.
c. Prior Agreement. Notwithstanding the rights of first refusal and
co-sale rights set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, a Common
Holder, if a party thereto, may Transfer all or any part of the Stock owned
by such Common Holder to the Company or certain other shareholders of the
Company pursuant to the terms of that certain Shareholder Agreement dated
June 4, 1994 (the "Prior Agreement"), provided, however, that if any of the
shares of Stock to be Transferred by a Common Holder to a third party is
not purchased by the Company or the other shareholders pursuant to the
terms of the Prior Agreement, then such shares shall remain subject to the
Preferred Holder Option.
d. Conditions to Exempt Transfers. Any Transfer of Stock made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 5.a. or 5.c. above shall be subject to the
following:
(1) Prior to the completion of such Transfer, each such
transferee or such transferee's legal representative shall have
executed documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
evidenced by the Company's written acknowledgement of such
satisfaction, assuming the obligations of a Common Holder under this
Agreement with respect to the transferred Stock; and
(2) Such transferred Stock shall remain subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, and the transferee shall be treated as a "Common
Holder" for purposes of this Agreement.
6. Termination of Restrictions on Transfers. The rights of first refusal
and the co-sale rights under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall terminate
upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (a) the liquidation,
dissolution or indefinite cessation of the business operations of the Company;
(b) the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all
or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company; or (c) upon the
effective date of a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering of
the Company's Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, on Form S-1 (or any successor form designated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission).
7. Agreement to Vote for Series A Nominee.
a. For so long as 250,000 shares (subject to appropriate adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other
recapitalizations) of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (and/or the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) are held by any of the
Preferred Holders, the Common Holders agree to vote all shares of Common
Stock now or hereafter owned by them to elect to the Company's board of
directors a nominee of the majority of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Nominee").
b. Prior to each election of directors of the Company, the majority of
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall designate the Series A
Nominee in writing to the Company. The Company shall promptly notify each
of the Common Holders of such nominee. Any vacancy occurring because of the
death, resignation, removal or disqualification of the Series A Nominee
shall be filled according to this Section 7.
c. The Company and the Common Holders agree to use their best efforts
to ensure that the rights given to the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant to this Section 7 are effective and that the such holders
shall enjoy the benefits hereof. Such best efforts shall include, without
limitation, the use of the Company's and the Common Holders' best efforts
to cause the Series A Nominee to be elected as a director of the Company at
each election of the board of directors. Neither the Company nor the Common
Holders shall, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder,
but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of
the provisions of this Section 7, and shall use their best efforts to
protect the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against
impairment.
8. Legends; Stop Transfer Instructions.
a. Legends. Each certificate representing shares of Stock now or
hereafter owned by the Common Holders or issued to any person in connection
with a Transfer pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be endorsed with the
following legend:
"THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, TRANSFER OR VOTING OF THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY AND SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED
FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE PARTIES NAMED THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH IS
AVAILABLE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER OF SUCH SHARES."
b. Stop Transfer Instructions. Each Common Holder agrees that the
Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on
the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in
Section 8(a) above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the
Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon
termination of this Agreement.
9. "Market Stand-off" Agreement. Each Common Holder hereby agrees that,
during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of
a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, it shall not, to
the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly
sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short
sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise Transfer or dispose of (other
than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company
held by it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such
registration; provided, however, that:
a. such agreement shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days for
the first such registration statement of the Company which covers Common
Stock (or other securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public in an
underwritten offering; and
b. such agreement shall not exceed ninety (90) days for any subsequent
registration statement of the Company which covers Common Stock (or other
securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten
offering.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Stock of each Common Holder (and
the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such period.
10. Additional Issuances of Common Stock. The Company agrees that, except
for Common Stock issued pursuant to any arrangement approved by the Board of
Directors to employees, officers and directors of, or consultants, advisors or
other persons performing services for, the Company, it shall not issue any
additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock after the date hereof until
the issuee of such shares agrees to become a party to this Agreement as a Common
Holder and has executed a counterpart signature page to this Agreement provided,
however, that if a Preferred Holder purchases additional shares of Common or
Preferred Stock after the date hereof, then the Company shall not require such
Preferred Holder to become a party to this Agreement as a Common Holder. Except
as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, any issuance of Common
Stock or Preferred Stock without the issuee becoming a party hereto shall be
void until such issuee has agreed to be bound by the terms hereof and has signed
a counterpart signature page to this Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.

not similarly affect all other Common Holders shall require the written
consent of such Common Holder; provided further, that any Preferred Holder
