TERMS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following mutual promises, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Issuance of Shares. The Company confirms its offer to issue
------------------
15,000 shares of Class A common stock (the "Additional Class A Shares") to
Shareholder at a price of $2.50 per share, payable in full upon issuance of the
Additional Class A Shares. A stock certificate evidencing the Additional Class
A Shares shall be issued in the name of Shareholder upon receipt of this
executed Amendment and payment in full of the purchase price.
2. Incorporation of Agreement and First Amendment by Reference. All
-----------------------------------------------------------
of the provisions of the Agreement shall apply to the Additional Class A Shares
issued to
Shareholder pursuant to this Amendment, except to the extent that a provision of
this Amendment expressly supersedes any provision of the Agreement or First
Amendment. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Amendment, which modify Sections 4 and
2, respectively, of the Agreement, shall also apply to the Additional Class A
Shares.
3. Legends. Each certificate for Additional Class A Shares owned by
-------
Shareholder shall bear the following legends:
(a) The shares represented by this certificate were issued
to the shareholder with restrictions. Neither the shares, nor any
interest in them, may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, unless that transfer is
expressly permitted by a stock rights agreement, including any
amendment thereto, between the shareholder and the Company, a
copy of which is on file at the office of the Company in
Fairport, New York.
(b) The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may
not be transferred in the absence of such registration unless the
Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
it stating the such sale or transfer is exempt from registration.
With respect to Additional Class A Shares that are subject to the Company's
Purchase Option, described in Section 3 of the Agreement, however, Shareholder
shall be entitled to a certificate without the legend set forth in subparagraph
(a), evidencing any Additional Class A Shares as to which the Purchase Option
has expired.
The parties' assent to the terms of this Amendment is confirmed by
their signatures below.
