WHEREAS, the Series C Investors acquired an aggregate of 3,566,371 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), pursuant to a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement among the Company and the Series C Investors dated September 25, 2001 (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) and may issue additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to one or more additional closings thereunder;

WHEREAS, the Company’s Series A Investors, the Management Shareholders, the Series B Investors and the Series C Investors entered into a Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated September 25, 2001 (the “Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement”) which agreement may be amended with the consent of (i) holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of both the Series B Stock and the Series C Stock, (iii) holders of a majority of the Equity Securities held by Management Shareholders, and (iv) the Company (the “Required Signatures”);
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor Shareholders desire to create an incentive for employees of the Company and to that end have created the Equity Incentive Plan through which certain employees will be granted Series C Stock or options to acquire Series C Stock and the Company and the Investor Shareholders further desire to bind Employee Shareholders to, or exempt the Employee Shareholders from, among other things, rights of first offer, preemptive rights, co-sale rights, drag along rights, corporate governance rights and certain other rights and obligations as more fully described herein ; and

No Shareholder shall Transfer any shares of Equity Securities except pursuant to this Section 3 other than transfers to the Company or in connection with a public offering under the Act. No Transfer of shares of Equity Securities in violation of this Agreement shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company, and any Transfer shall be void and of no effect.

|
|
3.2. |
Rights of First Refusal |
|
|
3.2.1. |
First Refusal Rights |
No Shareholder or Shareholders shall (during his or her lifetime, in the case of an individual) Transfer any Equity Securities now or hereafter held or acquired by such Shareholder to any individual or entity except upon receipt of a bona fide third party offer (a “Third Party Offer”) and after the Shareholder or Shareholders desiring to make the Transfer (the “Selling Shareholder”) shall first deliver a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each Investor Shareholder, to the Company, and to Xxxxx St. Clair specifying (i) the name and address of the individual or entity making the Third Party Offer, (ii) the number and class or series of Equity Securities which the Selling Shareholder wishes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), (iii) the cash or other purchase price offered for the Equity Securities (the “Offer Price”), (iv) any other terms and conditions of the Transfer and (v) a copy of the Third Party Offer. The Transfer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Selling Shareholder to sell to each Investor Shareholder, to the Company, and to Xxxxx St. Clair, as hereinafter in this Section 3.2 provided, the Offered Shares at the price and under the same terms and conditions as contained in the Transfer Notice.
|
|
3.2.2. |
Senior Investor Rights |
Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Transfer Notice, each Senior Investor shall notify the Series A Investors, the Company, Xxxxx St. Clair and the Selling Shareholder as to the number of the Offered Shares, if any, that the Senior Investor is electing to purchase (each such notice being a “Senior Acceptance”) based on the pro rata beneficial ownership by such Senior Investor of Equity Securities. A pro rata share, for purposes of this Section 3, is the portion of the Offered Shares (or, with respect to Section 3.5, New Securities) obtained by multiplying the total Offered Shares (or New Securities proposed to be issued) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock then held by the applicable Shareholder plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion, as the case may be (“Conversion Shares”), of all Convertible Securities held by such Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock and Conversion Shares then outstanding (“Pro Rata Share”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Xxxxx St. Clair, Xxxx Xxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall exercise their rights as Senior Investors under this Section 3.2.2., the determination of each of their Pro Rata Share shall include in the numerator their shares of Senior Preferred Stock and those shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Senior Preferred Stock and shall not include any shares acquired pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan or any shares of Common Stock held on the date hereof or otherwise issued, unless agreed in writing by Senior Investors holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding Senior Preferred Stock. Each Senior Investor shall have the right of over subscription such that if any Senior Investor having a similar right of first refusal fails to exercise the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the other Senior Investors and the other Senior Investors may purchase the non-purchasing Senior Investor’s portion on a pro rata basis, within five (5) Business Days of the date of this subsequent notice from the Company. Each Senior Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Shareholder(s) that number of the Offered Shares which the notifying Senior Investor has elected to purchase pursuant to its Senior Acceptance, or any such lesser amount as a result of any reduction required. If any Offered Shares remain unpurchased after the process described in this Section 3.2.2 (such Shares being referred to as the “First Remaining Shares”), the Company shall provide a written notice (the “Series A Notice”) to the Series A Investors and Xxxxx St. Clair of the number of First Remaining Shares.
|
|
3.2.3. |
Series A Investor Rights |
If the Senior Investors do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 3.2.2., then the Series A Investors shall have the right to purchase any First Remaining Shares. Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Series A Notice, each Series A Investor shall notify the Senior Investors, the Company, Xxxxx St. Clair and the Selling Shareholder(s) as to the number of the First Remaining Shares, if any, that the Series A Investor is electing to purchase (each such notice being an “Series A Acceptance,” and, collectively with each Senior Acceptance, a “Shareholder Acceptance”) based on such Series A Investor’s Pro Rata Share. Each Series A Investor shall have the right of over subscription such that if any Series A Investor having a similar right of first refusal fails to exercise the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of the First Remaining Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the other Series A Investors and the other Series A Investors may purchase the non-purchasing Series A Investor’s portion on a pro rata basis, within five (5) Business Days of the date of this subsequent notice from the Company. Each Series A Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Shareholder(s) that number of the First Remaining Shares which the notifying Series A Investor has elected to purchase pursuant to its Series A Acceptance, or any such lesser amount as a result of any reduction required. If any Offered Shares remain unpurchased after the process described in this Section 3.2.3 (such Shares being referred to as the “Second Remaining Shares”), the Company shall provide a written notice to Xxxxx St. Clair of the number of Second Remaining Shares.
|
|
3.2.4. |
Company Rights |
If the Series A Investors do not elect to purchase all of the First Remaining Shares pursuant to Section 3.2.3., then the Company shall have the right to purchase any Second Remaining Shares. Within ten (10) Business Days from the last date that an Series A Investor could elect to purchase any of the First Remaining Shares, the Company shall notify the Senior Investors, the Series A Investors, Xxxxx St. Clair and the Selling Shareholder as to the number of the Second Remaining Shares, if any, that the Company is electing to purchase (each such notice being a “Company Acceptance”). Each Company Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Shareholder(s) that number of the Second Remaining Shares which the Company has elected to purchase pursuant to its Company Acceptance. If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Second Remaining Shares, the Company Acceptance shall include the number of Second Remaining Shares not purchased by it (the “Final Remaining Shares”).
|
|
3.2.5. |
Xxxxx St. Clair Rights |
If the Company fails to elect to purchase the remainder of the Second Remaining Shares pursuant to Section 3.2.4., then Xxxxx St. Clair shall have the right to purchase any Final Remaining Shares. Within ten (10) Business Days following his receipt of the Company Acceptance, Xxxxx St. Clair shall notify the Senior Investors, the Series A Investors, the Company and the Selling Shareholder as to the number of the Final Remaining Shares, if any, that he is electing to purchase (each such notice being a “St. Clair Acceptance”). Each St. Clair Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Shareholder(s) that number of the Final Remaining Shares which Xxxxx St. Clair has elected to purchase pursuant to his St. Clair Acceptance.
|
|
3.2.6. |
Sale by Selling Shareholder |
If the Senior Investors, the Series A Investors, the Company and Xxxxx St. Clair do not deliver to the Selling Shareholder Senior Acceptances, Series A Acceptances, a Company Acceptance or St. Clair Acceptance (any of the foregoing, an “Acceptance”), respectively, to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the time periods set forth in Sections 3.2.2., 3.2.3., 3.2.4. and 3.2.5. above, the Selling Shareholder (a) shall be under no obligation to sell any of the Offered Shares to the Senior Investors, the Series A Investors, the Company or to Xxxxx St. Clair, unless the Selling Shareholder so elects, and (b) may, within a period of ninety (90) days from the last date that Xxxxx St. Clair could elect to purchase any of the Final Remaining Shares, sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to one or more Third Parties (each a “Third Party Transferee”), for cash or other consideration substantially on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice; provided that if there is more than one Third Party Transferee, the Selling Shareholder in good faith must obtain binding and definitive commitments to purchase all the Offered Shares within the 90-day period before any sale to a Third Party Transferee of the Offered Shares may take place. As a condition to and upon any such sale, the Third Party Transferee of the Offered Shares shall execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Investors, the Series A Investors, the Company and Xxxxx St. Clair pursuant to which the Third Party Transferee agrees that the Equity Securities it acquired from the Selling Shareholder are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any Third Party Transferee to whom Offered Shares are Transferred pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 3 (including Section 3.3 hereof) shall, upon consummation of such Transfer, be deemed a Shareholder who is party to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement. If the Selling Shareholder does not complete the sale of the Offered Shares within the 90-day period, or does not propose to complete the sale of the Offered Shares on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice, then the provisions of this Section 3 shall again apply, and no Transfer of Shares held by the Selling Shareholder shall be made otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
|
|
3.2.7. |
Closing |
The closing of purchases of Offered Shares by the Senior Investors and the First Remaining Shares by the Series A Investors, the Second Remaining Shares by the Company and Final Remaining Shares by Xxxxx St. Clair (or their respective designees) pursuant to this Section 3.2. shall take place within ninety (90) days after the date of the Transfer Notice at 11:00 A.M. local time at the principal offices of the Company, or at such other date, time or place as the parties to the sale may agree. At least five (5) business days prior to the closing, the Company shall notify the Selling Shareholder(s) in writing of the name and number of purchasers and the portion of the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Senior Investors, Series A Investors, the Company or Xxxxx St. Clair. At the closing, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall sell, transfer and deliver to the Senior Investors, Series A Investors, the Company, and Xxxxx St. Clair, if any are participating in the purchase, full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares so purchased, free and clear of all liens, security interests or adverse claims of any kind and nature (except as otherwise set forth in the Charter and this Agreement and applicable securities laws) and shall deliver to all participating Shareholders of the Company a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares so sold, in each case duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly endorsed with signatures guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company or registered broker dealer. Simultaneously with delivery of the certificates, the participating Senior Investors, Series A Investors, the Company and Xxxxx St. Clair shall deliver to the Selling Shareholder(s), in full payment of the purchase price of the Offered Shares purchased, (a) any cash consideration for the shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank and the account designated by the Selling Shareholder(s) and/or (b) any non-cash consideration for the shares in person to the Selling Shareholder(s) at Closing.
|
|
3.3. |
Co-Sale Rights |
To the extent any rights of first refusal are not exercised under Section 3.2. as to all Offered Shares, the Selling Shareholder proposing to effect a sale of Shares constituting at least one percent (1%) of the Equity Securities then outstanding to a Third Party shall afford each other Investor Shareholder (which definition, for purposes of this Section 3.3. only, shall include holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock) the opportunity to participate in the sale with the Selling Shareholder with each Investor Shareholder participating in the sale pro-rata in the same proportion that the Equity Securities beneficially owned by it (on an as-converted basis, with respect to the Preferred Stock) represents of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Equity Securities of the Company (on an as converted basis) owned by the Selling Shareholder and all Investor Shareholders entitled to participate in the sale, and for the same consideration and otherwise on the same terms as the Selling Shareholder sells its Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Third Party Offer is made to purchase shares of Preferred Stock only, the right to participate in the sale pursuant to this Section 3.3. shall not extend to Investor Shareholders that hold only shares of Common Stock and no right to participate shall retroactively arise in the event that the Third Party at any time thereafter converts the shares of Preferred Stock so acquired. In the event that any Shareholder shall propose a sale of Equity Securities owned by it as contemplated by this Section 3.3., the Selling Shareholder shall provide written notice to the other Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.2., and each other Investor Shareholder intending to participate in the proposed sale shall state its intention to participate in the Acceptance delivered to the Selling Shareholder in accordance with Section 3.2. within 20 days after the receipt of the written notice. The Investor Shareholders’ right to participate in sales pursuant to this Section 3.3. shall not apply with respect to sales of Equity Securities to the Company.
|
|
3.4. |
Unlocking Option |
|
|
3.4.1. |
Shareholder Notice; Unlocking Option |
If at any time after (a) September 25, 2002, any Shareholder receives a bona fide written offer from an independent third party (a “Bona Fide Offer”) to purchase all or substantially all of the assets or Equity Securities of the Company for cash or cash and notes (a “Sale of the Company”) at a price equivalent to a per share purchase price of at least $6.78 or (b) September 25, 2003, any Shareholder receives a Bona Fide Offer for the Sale of the Company at any price, the Shareholder shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the terms, including the price and conditions, of the Bona Fide Offer, and, upon receipt of the notice from the Shareholder, or, if the Bona Fide Offer is received by the Company directly from the independent third party, the Company shall promptly notify the Senior Investors in writing of the terms, including the price and conditions, of the Bona Fide Offer (the “Company Notice”). Upon receipt of the Company Notice, the Senior Investors shall have the option (the “Unlocking Option”) exercisable in accordance with Section 3.4.2 hereof, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt of the Company Notice (the “Senior Option Period”), to elect to require the Company and the other Shareholders either (i) to accept the Bona Fide Offer, or (ii) at the election of the Company, to acquire all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock then held by the Senior Investors (the “Senior Shares”) on the same terms, including price, and subject to the same conditions as specified in the Bona Fide Offer. Any election by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4.1. shall be made at the direction of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (with the members of the Board of Directors elected by the Senior Investors abstaining from any such vote).
|
|
3.4.2. |
Exercise of Unlocking Provision |
Senior Investors beneficially owning a majority of the Senior Shares then outstanding (a “Senior Majority”) may exercise the Unlocking Option by notifying the Company in writing of their desire to exercise the Unlocking Option (the “Senior Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Senior Option Period. The Company shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Senior Notice to elect whether to accept the Bona Fide Offer or to acquire the Senior Shares pursuant to Section 3.4.1. If the Company declines to acquire the Senior Shares, the Company and the Shareholders hereby agree to take all actions necessary to effect the sale of their Equity Securities or consent to a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, as applicable, pursuant to the Bona Fide Offer.
|
|
3.4.3. |
Failure to Consummate the Purchase |
If the Company shall fail to consummate the acquisition of the Senior Shares prior to the expiration of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of its receipt of the Senior Notice, then the Company and the Shareholders shall accept, and take all actions necessary to effect the sale of their Equity Securities or consent to a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, as applicable, pursuant to the Bona Fide Offer. If, however, the Bona Fide Offer has been withdrawn prior to such date due to the Company’s inability to timely consummate the acquisition of the Senior Shares, then the Senior Investors shall have the right to elect, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, to require the Company and the Shareholders to accept the next Bona Fide Offer without providing the Company with the option to acquire the Senior Shares in lieu of accepting the Bona Fide Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bona Fide Offer is withdrawn prior to its rejection by the Company for any reason other than such delay or any other reason within the Company’s control, the Company shall have no further obligation to consummate the purchase of the Senior Shares with respect to that exercise of the Unlocking Option.
|
|
3.4.4. |
Consideration |
The acquisition by the Company of the Senior Shares shall be for cash consideration payable by the Company in cash or, at the Company’s election, cash and notes to the extent such were the terms of the Bona Fide Offer, or such other consideration as each Senior Investor shall agree, in their sole and absolute discretion, to accept. If the Bona Fide Offer is accepted, the Senior Investors shall be entitled to receive the same form of consideration as the other Shareholders.
|
|
3.5. |
Preemptive Rights |
(a) So long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company hereby grants to each Investor Shareholder the right (but not the obligation) to purchase a Pro Rata Share of any New Securities (as hereinafter defined) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue (the “Preemptive Right”).
(b) Whenever the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall provide written notice of the terms and conditions of the offering (the “Offering”) to each of the Investor Shareholders (the “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall specify the price and terms and conditions of the Offering, including without limitation the minimum and maximum limits on the amount of New Securities proposed to be sold or issued by the Company pursuant to the Offering and the Pro Rata Share of each Investor Shareholder. The Offer shall by its terms remain open and irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date such notice is given (the “30-day Period”).
(c) If an Investor Shareholder desires to purchase New Securities in the Offering pursuant to the Preemptive Right, such Investor Shareholder shall evidence its intention to exercise the Preemptive Right by delivering written notice thereof prior to the end of the 30-day Period to the Company specifying the number of the New Securities, if any, that the Investor Shareholder is electing to purchase (each such notice being a “Preemptive Right Acceptance”).
(d) If the maximum number of New Securities offered in the Offering is less than the total number included in all Preemptive Right Acceptances (as verified by the Company), then the number of New Securities to be purchased pursuant to Preemptive Rights shall be allocated as nearly as practicable among each Investor Shareholder who elected to purchase New Securities in the proportion that the number of shares of Equity Securities beneficially owned by the electing Investor Shareholder relative to the Equity Securities beneficially owned by all of the Investor Shareholders electing to purchase Offered Shares. Each Investor Shareholder shall have the right of over subscription such that if any Investor Shareholder having a similar right of first refusal fails to exercise the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the other Investor Shareholders and the other Investor Shareholders may purchase the non-purchasing Investor Shareholder’s portion on a pro rata basis, within five (5) Business Days of the date of this subsequent notice from the Company. Each Preemptive Right Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Shareholder(s) that number of the Offered Shares which the notifying Investor Shareholder has elected to purchase pursuant to its Preemptive Right Acceptance, or any such lesser amount as a result of any reduction required. The Company shall not be permitted to sell at such closing (or any subsequent closing with respect to which the procedures set forth in this Section 3.5 have not again been followed), more than the maximum number of New Securities set forth in the Offer.
(e) If less than the maximum number of New Securities is to be purchased pursuant to Preemptive Right Acceptances, then, within five (5) days after the end of the 30-day Period, the Company shall give written notice (the “Notice of Refused Securities”) to the Investor Shareholders setting forth the percentage of New Securities for which Preemptive Right Acceptances were not received (the “Refused Securities”). Any Refused Securities may be sold by the Company for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days provided such sale is on the terms and conditions which are in all material respects (including without limitation price, form of consideration, payment period and interest rates) the same as those set forth in the Offer. In the event Investor Shareholders provide Preemptive Right Acceptances which, together with the sales of Refused Securities pursuant to this paragraph, exceed the minimum for the Offering, then at the same time as the closing of the sale of the Refused Securities, each Investor Shareholder providing an Preemptive Right Acceptance shall purchase those New Securities set forth in the Preemptive Offer, as adjusted by the procedures set forth in this Section 3.5.
(f) If at least the minimum amount of New Securities set forth in the Offer is not agreed to be purchased by Investor Shareholders and others, then the Company may rescind all Preemptive Right Purchases by providing written notice of such rescission to each Investor Shareholder providing a Preemptive Right Acceptance and shall not sell any New Securities pursuant to the Offering. Any New Securities as to which Preemptive Right Acceptances are rescinded and any Refused Securities not purchased by others may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Investor Shareholders under this Section 3.5.
(g) The restrictions and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to any New Securities purchased by Investor Shareholders pursuant to the Preemptive Right and any person not then an Investor Shareholder who purchases New Securities shall be required to execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof. The obligation of any Investor Shareholder to purchase and the Company to sell such New Securities is further conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a purchase agreement embodying the terms of the Offer which shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the purchaser(s) and their counsel.
(h) For purposes of this Section 3.5., “New Securities” shall mean any common stock or preferred stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such common stock or preferred stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into common stock or preferred stock of the Company, but shall not include: (a) shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or upon the exercise of Convertible Securities which were outstanding as of the date of Closing or issued subsequent to the Closing (whether or not such issuance was subject to the procedures of Section 3.5); (b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to officers, directors or employees of the Company pursuant to, or issued or issuable upon the exercise of options granted to such persons under, any stock option or other equity incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors provided such issuance does not exceed in the aggregate 8,000,000 shares (such number to be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and the like with respect to the Common Stock); (c) securities offered as consideration for any business combination between the Company and another corporation or entity approved by the Board of Directors; (d) securities issued as a stock dividend or upon any subdivision of shares of Common Stock, provided that the securities issued pursuant to such stock dividend or subdivision are limited to additional shares of Common Stock; (e) securities offered in a QIPO; (f) debt securities with no equity features; (g) securities offered to Strategic Investors; (h) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of those certain warrants issued by the Company on or about May 25, 2000 to certain Shareholders then providing funding to the Company; (i) shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Series C Purchase Agreement, (j) warrants or shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of warrants, issued to any bank or similar financial institution in connection with a debt financing of the Company approved by the Board of Directors or (k) Convertible Securities issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan or Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(i) Notwithstanding Section 4.4. below, each Investor Shareholder may, from time to time, assign its rights under this Section 3.5 or any portion thereof to any of its Affiliates who acquire Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares in accordance with this Agreement and who agree to be bound under this Agreement, provided it is understood that any limited partner of an Investor Shareholder shall not be an Affiliate solely by virtue of its status as a limited partner. The aggregate Pro Rata Share of each Shareholder and its Affiliates as a group (a “Shareholder Group”) shall be equal for all purposes to the number of securities which would have constituted the Pro Rata Share of such Shareholder had no such assignment been effected, and may be allocated among the members of the Shareholder Group in any manner agreed upon by the Shareholder Group. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence only, the definition of “Affiliate” shall only include affiliated entities and shall not include individuals.
