SECTION 1.07 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a day which is not a business day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding business day, and such extension of time shall in such case not be included in the computation of payment of interest due.
SECTION 1.08 Optional Prepayment. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, the Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the unpaid principal amount and any outstanding interest on the 2002 Debentures.
SECTION 1.09 Transfer and Exchange of 2002 Debentures. The Holder of any 2002 Debenture may, prior to maturity or prepayment thereof, surrender such 2002 Debenture at the principal office of the Company for transfer or exchange if (a) 2002 Debentures with at least $500,000 in principal amount are transferred or (b) such transfer or exchange is in connection with the dissolution or winding up of a Holder. Any Holder desiring to transfer or exchange any 2002 Debenture shall first notify the Company in writing at least five (5) business days in advance of such transfer or exchange.

Table of Contents
transfer taxes, if any) to such Holder, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor another 2002 Debenture, in such denominations as requested by the Holder, for the same aggregate principal amount, as of the date of such issuance, as the unpaid principal amount of the 2002 Debenture so surrendered and having the same maturity and rate of interest, containing the same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the 2002 Debenture so surrendered. Each new 2002 Debenture shall be made payable to such person or persons, or assigns, as the Holder of such surrendered 2002 Debenture may designate, and such transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom. Unless the 2002 Debentures have been registered under the Securities Act, if the Company so requests, the transferee shall provide, and the Company shall not be required to effect a transfer until it receives, an opinion of counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is not required to be registered under the Securities Act, provided that such opinion shall not be required in respect of a transfer to any partner of a Purchaser.
SECTION 1.10 Replacement of 2002 Debentures. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any 2002 Debenture and, if requested by the Company in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such 2002 Debenture, the Company will issue a new 2002 Debenture, of like tenor and amount and dated the date to which interest has been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated 2002 Debenture; provided, however, if any 2002 Debenture of which a Purchaser is the Holder is lost, stolen or destroyed, the affidavit of an authorized partner or officer of the Purchaser setting forth the circumstances with respect to such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or other security shall be required as a condition to the issuance and delivery by the Company of a new 2002 Debenture in replacement of such lost, stolen or destroyed 2002 Debenture other than the Purchaser’s written agreement to indemnify the Company.
(a) Subordination. The Company, the Purchasers and each Holder by its acceptance of any 2002 Debenture agree, for the benefit of holders of Senior Debt, that the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due with respect to the 2002 Debentures shall be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt as provided herein. Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt (by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise) all such Senior Debt which has so matured and is then due and payable shall first be paid in full, or such payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to all holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment is made on account of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due with respect to the 2002 Debentures. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization for the benefit of creditors of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):
|
(i) the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payments in full of all Senior Debt (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the documentation |
-4-
Table of Contents
|
governing the terms of such Senior Debt) in cash or in a manner satisfactory to all such holders of Senior Debt before any Purchaser or any other Holder is entitled to receive any payment from the Company on account of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due with respect to the 2002 Debentures; and |
|
|
|
(ii) in the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, any payment or distribution or assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by a Purchaser or any other Holder on account of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due with respect to the 2002 Debentures before all Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to the holders of such Senior Debt remaining unpaid or provided for or their representative under the credit or other agreement under which such Senior Debt may have been issued (pro rata on the basis of such unpaid Senior Debt held by such holders), for application to the payment of such Senior Debt until all such Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Debt. |
(b) Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt and until the 2002 Debentures shall be paid in full, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt (to the extent of payments or distributions previously made to such holders of Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.11) to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt. No such payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Debt shall, as between the Company and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the 2002 Debentures; and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt to which the Holders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 1.11 shall, as between the Company and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.
(c) Scope of Section. The provisions of this Section 1.11 are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Section 1.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the 2002 Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the 2002 Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder from accepting any payment or distribution with respect to a 2002 Debenture or exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under a 2002 Debenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 1.11 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received by the Holders.

(a) The Managing Stockholder agrees that if he (the “Selling Stockholder”) proposes to sell or transfer any of his Shares (the “Tag-Along Securities”) in a transaction that does not comply with the Manner of Sale provisions of Rule 144(f) under the Securities Act, and the amount of such Tag-Along Securities together with all other Shares sold by such Managing Stockholder after the date hereof exceeds 320,000 (subject to adjustment for any Extraordinary Common Stock Event but excluding any shares sold in compliance with the Manner of Sale provision of Rule 144(f) under the Securities Act), then such Selling Stockholder shall provide written notice (the “Tag-Along Offer Notice”) of such intent to the Purchasers in the manner set forth in this Section 7.01 (the date of receipt of such notice being the “Tag-Along Notice Date”). The Tag-Along Offer Notice shall identify the proposed transferee(s) (the “Tag-Along Purchaser”), the number of Tag-Along Securities proposed to be purchased by the Tag-Along Purchaser, the Tag-Along Ratio (as defined in Section 7.01(c)), the consideration offered per Tag-Along Security (the “Tag-Along Offer Price”) and any other material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer (the “Tag-Along Offer”) and, in the case of a Tag-Along Offer in which the Tag-Along Offer Price consists in part or in whole of consideration other than cash, such information relating to such consideration as the Purchasers may reasonably request in order to evaluate such non-cash consideration. The Purchasers shall have the right, exercisable as set forth below, to accept the Tag-Along Offer to sell for up to the number of Shares determined pursuant to Section 7.01(c) and (d).

-23-

payable to the Selling Stockholder (other than fees for actually anticipated future services).

(c) The Purchasers shall have the right to sell (and the Selling Stockholder shall reduce the number of its shares to be sold by a corresponding amount), pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, a number of shares equal to the product of the total number of Tag-Along Securities offered to be purchased by the Tag-Along Purchaser as set forth in such Tag-Along Offer multiplied by a fraction (the “Tag-Along Ratio”), the numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of Shares owned by such Purchaser and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Shares owned at that time by the Selling Stockholder and the participating Purchasers. |
|
|
|
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in no event may the Purchasers sell more than the total number of Shares specified in such Purchasers’ Tag-Along Notice applicable to the relevant Tag Along Offer.
