WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and an orderly market for the
Common Stock of the Company subsequent to the Reorganization contemplated
thereby, the undersigned desire to enter into this Agreement and restrict the
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or alienation of the
Common Stock, all on the terms set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, a
Shareholder may transfer its shares of Common Stock to its affiliates,
partners in a partnership, subsidiaries and trusts, spouses or lineal
descendants for estate planning purposes provided that the transferee (or the
legal representative of the transferee) executes an agreement to be bound by
all of the terms of this Agreement.
2. Except for the Registerable Shares and Additional Registerable
Shares or as otherwise expressly provided herein, and except as each
Shareholder may be otherwise restricted from selling shares of Common Stock
("Shares"), each Shareholder may only sell Shares (excluding the Registerable
Shares and the Additional Registerable Shares) subject to the following
conditions in relation to the sale of said Shares prior to the effective date
of a registration statement (other than in connection with a merger or
employee benefit plans pursuant to Forms S-4 or S-8) pertaining to the
Company's Common Stock (the "Registration Statement"). The Shares shall be
included in the Company's Registration Statement that is to be filed
respecting other shares of Common Stock that have been sold pursuant to the
Company's Confidential Private Offering Memorandum dated August 1, 2000, as
supplemented (the "Memorandum").
2.1. No Shareholder other than CCM, DSJ, JS and LWB may
sell any Shares covered by this Agreement, unless agreed otherwise in writing
by the parties. For purposes of the restrictions contained in this paragraph
2, CCM, DSJ, JS and LWB shall collectively be considered one Shareholder.
2.2. Each Shareholder shall be allowed to sell Shares in
blocks of 5,000 Shares or less per transaction.
2.3. The Shares may only be sold at the "offer" or "ask"
price stated by the relevant market maker. Each Shareholder agrees that it/he
will not sell Shares at the "bid" price.
2.4. After a Shareholder sells 5,000 Shares, such
Shareholder may not sell any other Shares unless the "offer" or "ask " price
of the Common Stock increases by 25 basis points above such Shareholder's last
sale price. The sale of the next 5,000 Shares, however, may take place at a
price less than the prior sale price plus .25 basis points. (For example, a
Shareholder sells 5,000 Shares at a price of $10 1/2. If the "ask" price then
increases to $10 3/4, the Shareholder may sell an additional 5,000 Shares and
such sale may occur at a price less than $10 3/4).
2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after a Shareholder
sells 5,000 Shares, a market maker in the Common Stock (other than the market
maker involved in the first transaction) continues to show an "offer" or "ask"
price at the same price as the first 5,000 Share transaction, the Shareholder
may, on one occasion only, sell an additional 5,000 Shares at that price.
2.6. The Shares may not be sold at a price below $5.00 per
share.
2.7. Each Shareholder shall be allowed to sell up to
fifteen (15%) percent of its/his Shares held as of the date hereof during each
three month period; provided, however, that in the event any Shareholder does
not sell its/his full 15% during any three-month period, such Shareholder may
sell the difference between 15% of the Shares held as of the date hereof and
the Shares actually sold during such three-month period in the next successive
three-month period.
2.8 The Shareholders agree that they will not engage in any
short selling of the Shares or the Registerable Shares or Additional
Registerable Shares.
3. The Registerable Shares and the Additional Registerable
Shares, and if required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of the
Shares owned or to be acquired as outlined herein, shall be included in the
Registration Statement for the benefit of the Shareholders, at no cost to
them.
4. Upon the effective date of the Registration Statement (the
"Effective Date"), the provisions contained in Section 2 hereof shall continue
with respect to all Shares except the Registerable Shares and the Additional
Registerable Shares. The Registerable Shares and the Additional Registerable
Shares shall be subject to the same lock-up/leak-out conditions that the
investors solicited under the Memorandum are subject, which are as follows:
For a period of 18 months from the Closing of the Reorganization, no
shareholder shall sell more than 10% of any holder's Common Stock holdings
during any three month period (excluding the Shares subject to the 15% lock-
up/leak-out provisions above), provided, however, that if less than 10% of a
holder's Common Stock shall have been sold during any covered three month
period, then the difference between such holder's 10% and the amount actually
sold may be added to and sold during any successive three month period or
periods, provided that all computations for resales, except the "period of 18
months," shall commence on the Effective Date of the Registration Statement.
5. Each Shareholder agrees that all of its Shares and the
Registerable Shares and the Additional Registerable Shares are covered by all
of the restrictions hereunder, whether such Shares are owned on the date
hereof or are hereafter acquired (whether by issuance, transfer, upon exercise
of any warrants or options currently held by such Shareholder or otherwise).
6. This Agreement shall terminate eighteen months from the Effective
Date of the Reorganization (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), and
thereafter all provisions contained herein shall cease and be of no further
force or effect.
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the
Company may, at any time and from time to time, waive any of the conditions or
restrictions contained herein to increase the liquidity of the Common Stock or
if such waiver would otherwise be in the best interests of the development of
the trading market for the Common Stock.
8. In the event of a tender offer to purchase all or substantially
all of the Company's issued and outstanding securities, or a merger,
consolidation or other reorganization with or into an unaffiliated entity,
this Agreement shall terminate and the Shares restricted pursuant hereto shall
be released from such restrictions if the requisite number of the record and
beneficial owners of the Company's securities then outstanding are voted in
favor of such tender offer, merger, consolidation or reorganization.
9. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other
agreements between the parties, the Shareholders shall be entitled to their
respective beneficial rights of ownership of the Shares or the Registerable
Shares and the Additional Registerable Shares, including the right to vote the
Shares and the Registerable Shares and the Additional Registerable Shares for
any and all purposes.
10. The Shares and per share price restrictions covered by this
Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted should the Company make a dividend
or distribution, undergo a forward split or a reverse split or otherwise
reclassify its shares of Common Stock.
11. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with
the same force and effect as if all parties had executed the same document.
12. All notices, instructions or other communications required or
permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and
delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight delivery or
hand-delivered to all parties to this Agreement at the addresses set forth
above. All notices shall be deemed to be given on the same day if delivered
by hand or on the following business day if sent by overnight delivery or the
second business day following the date of mailing.
13. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended
except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into
and to be performed wholly within said State.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed and delivered
this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
