EXHIBIT 3
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of the 16th day of June, 1997, by and among Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx XX, an individual (“Xxxxxx”), XXXXX XXXXXXXX, an individual (the “Purchaser”).
I. PURCHASE OF SHARES
1.1 Purchase. The Purchaser hereby purchases, and Xxxxxx hereby sells to the Purchaser, Four Hundred (400) shares (the “Corporation Shares”) of the common stock of Xxx Xxxxxx Motors, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Corporation”) at a purchase price of Five and No/100 Dollar ($5.00) (the “Purchase Price”).
1.2 Payment. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price for the Corporation Shares either in cash or cash equivalent. Purchaser shall also deliver to Xxxxxx a duly executed blank Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) and whatever additional documents may be required by Xxxxxx as a condition for the purchase.
1.3 Delivery of Certificates. The certificates representing the Corporation Shares subject to Xxxxxx’x Repurchase Right under Article V hereof shall be held in escrow by the Secretary of the Corporation as provided in Article VII hereof.
II. ACQUISITION BY GROUP 1 AUTOMOTIVE, INC.
2.1 Acquisition in General. Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Group 1 “) has made an offer to acquire all of the capital stock of the Corporation (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) to be executed by Group 1, the Corporation and the stockholders of the Corporation. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will sell to Group 1 all of the Corporation Shares and will purchase from Group 1 an as yet undetermined number of shares of common stock of Group 1 (the “Group 1 Shares”). The Corporation Shares and the Group 1 Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.”
2.2 Effects of the Acquisition.
(a) Should the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing Date”) occur on or prior to December 31, 1997:
(i) as provided in Article VII hereof, the Corporation shall release the escrowed certificates representing the Corporation Shares, so that Purchaser may endorse and deliver such certificates to Group 1 pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement;
(ii) the Group 1 shares shall be substituted for the Corporation Shares for the purposes of this Agreement, and certificates representing the Group 1 Shares shall be delivered by Group 1 to the Corporation, to be held in escrow as provided in Article VII hereof;
(iii) this Agreement shall have no further application or effect upon the Corporation Shares, and Group 1 shall own the Corporation Shares free and clear of all claims and encumbrances, including, without limitation, all rights granted to Xxxxxx hereunder; and
(iv) the Group 1 Shares shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Xxxxxx’x Repurchase Right under Article V hereof, Xxxxxx’x First Refusal Right under Article VI hereof and the escrow provisions of Article VII hereof, and the Purchase Price for Group 1 Shares under Articles V and VI hereof shall be the Purchase Price originally paid by the Purchaser for the Corporation Shares.
(b) Should the Acquisition Closing Date not occur on or prior to December 31, 1997:
(i) Xxxxxx shall have the right to repurchase the Purchased Corporation Shares from Purchaser for the Purchase Price, notwithstanding Purchaser’s status as a Service Provider to the Corporation at the time of Xxxxxx’x repurchase hereunder, such repurchase to be conducted in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof; and
(ii) upon the completion of such repurchase, this Agreement shall terminate in all respects and shall have no further effect upon the parties hereto.
III. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
3.1 Stockholder Rights. Until such time as Xxxxxx actually exercises his repurchase rights under this Agreement, Purchaser (or any successor in interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting and dividend rights) with respect to the Shares owned by Purchaser (or any successor in interest). Such stockholder rights shall apply to any Shares held in escrow under Article VII, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions of Article IV.
3.2 Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser understands that under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the Purchase Price paid for the Corporation Shares and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes Xxxxxx’x right to repurchase the Corporation Shares pursuant to his Repurchase Right under Article V of this Agreement. Purchaser understands that he may elect to be taxed at the time the Corporation Shares are acquired hereunder to the extent the fair market value of the Corporation Shares differs from the Purchase Price rather than when and as such Corporation Shares cease to be subject to such
- 2 -
forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within thirty (30) days after the date of purchase hereunder. If the fair market value of the Corporation Shares at the date of purchase equals the Purchase Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit B hereto. Purchaser understands that failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the Purchaser (in the event the fair market value of the Corporation Shares increases after the date of purchase) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT XXXXXX’X, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS XXXXXX OR HIS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS/HER BEHALF. PURCHASER IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OR HER ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE AN 83(b) ELECTION.
IV. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any of the Corporation Shares, except as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Unvested Group 1 Shares (as defined herein) shall not be transferred, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise made the subject of disposition, except that such shares may be transferred subject to Xxxxxx’x First Refusal Right under Article VI. No transfer restrictions shall apply to Group 1 Shares that have vested in Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.3 herein.
V. REPURCHASE RIGHT
5.1 Grant. Xxxxxx is hereby granted the right (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90) day period following the date the Purchaser ceases for any reason to be a Service Provider to the Corporation to repurchase at the Purchase Price all or (at the discretion of Xxxxxx and with the consent of the Purchaser) any portion of (i) the Corporation Shares owned by the Purchaser prior to the Acquisition, or (ii) the Group 1 Shares owned by Purchaser subsequent to the Acquisition in which the Purchaser has not acquired a vested interest in accordance with the vesting provisions of Section 5.3 (such shares to be hereinafter called the “Unvested Group 1 Shares”). For purposes of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be deemed to be a Service Provider to the Corporation for so long as the Purchaser is a full time employee of the Corporation, Group 1, or any affiliate of subsidiary of Group 1.
5.2 Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the applicable ninety (90) day period specified in Section 5.1. The notice shall indicate the number of Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of notice. To the extent one or more certificates representing the Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares may have been previously delivered out of escrow to the Purchaser, then Purchaser shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, deliver to Xxxxxx the certificates representing the Corporation Shares or Unvested Shares Group 1 to be repurchased, each
- 3 -
certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. Xxxxxx shall, concurrently with his receipt of such stock certificates (either from escrow in accordance with Section 7.3 or from Purchaser as herein provided), pay to Purchaser in cash, an amount equal to the Purchase Price previously paid for the Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares that are to be repurchased.
5.3 Termination of the Repurchase Right.
(a) Prior to the Acquisition, the Repurchase Right shall apply at all times to one hundred percent (100%) of the Corporation Shares. Following the Acquisition, the vesting schedule described hereunder shall apply to the Group 1 Shares, and as provided in Section 2.2(a) hereof the Repurchase Right shall no longer apply to the Corporation Shares. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Group 1 Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Section 5.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate, and cease to be exercisable, with respect to any and all Group 1 Shares in which the Purchaser vests in accordance with the schedule below. Accordingly, provided the Purchaser continues to be a Service Provider to the Corporation, the Purchaser shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, the Group 1 Shares in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The Purchaser shall not acquire any vested interest in, nor shall the Repurchase Right lapse with respect to, any Group 1 Shares during the initial twelve (12) month period measured from the Acquisition Closing Date.
(ii) Upon the expiration of the initial twelve (12) month period measured from the Acquisition Closing Date, the Purchaser shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, that number of Group 1 Shares equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Group 1 Shares.
(iii) From and after the expiration of the initial twelve (12) month period measured from the Acquisition Closing Date, the Purchaser shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, the remaining Group 1 Shares in a series of successive annual installments each equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Group 1 Shares.
5.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be repurchased by Xxxxxx. Accordingly, should the Repurchase Right extend to a fractional share (in accordance with the vesting computation provisions of Section 5.3) at the time the Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider, then such fractional share shall be added to any fractional share in which the Purchaser is at such time vested in order to make one whole vested share no longer subject to the Repurchase Right.
5.5 Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change affecting (i) prior to the Acquisition, the Corporation’s outstanding common stock, or (ii) subsequent to the Acquisition, Group 1’s outstanding common stock, as a class effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a
- 4 -
regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the Corporation Shares or the Group 1 Shares then owned by Purchaser shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Corporation Shares or Group 1 Shares then owned by Purchaser are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number of Corporation Shares or Group 1 Shares hereunder and to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such transaction upon the Corporation’s capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price shall remain the same.
5.6 Legend. All certificates representing Shares subject to Xxxxxx’x Right of Repurchase shall be endorsed with the following legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN XXXXXX X. XXXXXX XX AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS TO XXXXXX X. XXXXXX XX UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”
VI. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
6.1 Grant. Xxxxxx is hereby granted the right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”), exercisable in connection with any proposed sale or other transfer of the Unvested Group 1 Shares. For purposes of this Article VI, the term “transfer” shall include any assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition for value of the Unvested Group 1 Shares intended to be made by the Purchaser.
6.2 Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event the Purchaser desires to accept a bona fide third party offer for any or all of the Unvested Group 1 Shares (the shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter called, solely for the purposes of this Article VI, the “Target Shares”), Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Xxxxxx written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) of the offer and the basic terms and conditions thereof, including the proposed purchase price.
6.3 Exercise of Right. Xxxxxx shall, for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice for that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such Target Shares. Such right shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, then Xxxxxx shall effect the repurchase of the Target Shares, including payment of the purchase price therefor, not more than five (5) business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time Purchaser shall deliver to Xxxxxx the certificates representing the Target Shares to be repurchased, each
- 5 -
certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. To the extent any of the Target Shares are at the time held in escrow under Article VII, the certificates for such shares shall automatically be released from escrow and delivered to Xxxxxx.
6.4 Non Exercise of Right. In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the date of Xxxxxx’x receipt of the Disposition Notice, Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to the third party purchaser than those specified in the Disposition Notice. To the extent any of the Target Shares are at the time held in escrow under Article VII, the certificates for such shares shall automatically be released from escrow and surrendered to the Purchaser. The third-party purchaser shall acquire the Target Shares free and clear of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Xxxxxx’x Repurchase Right under Article V and Xxxxxx’x First Refusal Right hereunder). In the event Purchaser does not sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30) day period, Xxxxxx’x First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Purchaser.
6.5 Partial Exercise of Right. In the event Xxxxxx makes a timely exercise of the First Refusal Right with respect to a portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Xxxxxx delivered within thirty (30) days after the date of the Disposition Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to one of the following alternatives:
(a) sale or other disposition of all the Target Shares to a third-party purchaser in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.4, as if Xxxxxx did not exercise the First Refusal Right hereunder; or
(b) sale to Xxxxxx of the portion of the Target Shares which Xxxxxx has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in substantial conformity with the provisions of Section 6.3.
Failure of Purchaser to deliver timely notification to Xxxxxx under this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to be an election by Purchaser to sell the Target Shares pursuant to alternative (b) above.
6.6 Recapitalization.
In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other transaction affecting Group 1’s outstanding Common Stock as a class effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to the Unvested Group 1 Shares shall be immediately subject to Xxxxxx’x First Refusal Right hereunder.
- 6 -
6.7 Legend. All certificates representing Unvested Group 1 Shares subject to the Right of First Refusal shall be endorsed with the following legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN XXXXXX X. XXXXXX XX AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO XXXXXX X. XXXXXX XX CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE”

(b) Should Xxxxxx elect to exercise his Repurchase Right under Article V with respect to any Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares, then the escrowed certificates for such Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares (together with any other assets or securities issued with respect thereto) shall be delivered to Xxxxxx, concurrently with the payment to the Purchaser, in cash or cash equivalent (including the cancellation of any purchase money indebtedness), of an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares, and the Purchaser shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such Corporation Shares or Unvested Group 1 Shares (or other assets or securities).
- 7 -
(c) Should Xxxxxx elect to exercise his First Refusal Right under Article VI with respect to any Target Shares held at the time in escrow hereunder, then the escrowed certificates for such Target Shares (together with any other assets or securities issued with respect thereto) shall, concurrently with the payment of the Section 6.3 purchase price for such Target Shares to the Purchaser, be delivered to Xxxxxx, and the Purchaser shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such Target Shares (or other assets or securities).

7.3 Recapitalization. All regular cash dividends on the Corporation Shares or Group 1 Shares held in escrow pursuant to this Article VII (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in escrow. However, in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change affecting (i) prior to the Acquisition, the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock or (ii) subsequent to the Acquisition, Group 1’s outstanding Common Stock, as a class effected without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to such Corporation Shares or Group 1 Shares shall be immediately delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation to be held in escrow under this Article VII, but only to the extent such Corporation Shares or Group 1 Shares are at the time subject to the escrow requirements of Section 7.1.
