MANAGEMENT
OF CORPORATION
2.1 Agreement
Respecting Voting/Credit Agreement Debt
For
so long as this Agreement
remains in effect, each Shareholder agrees to vote any and all Shares held
by it
from time to time so as to elect and maintain in office the Francisco Partners
Nominees (as defined in Section 2.2) and the Xxxxxxxx Nominees (as defined
in
Section 2.2) as members of the Board of Directors, and to cause the Corporation
to act in compliance with all of the
provisions of this Agreement and in particular to vote to approve any Transfer
which is permitted and otherwise made in compliance with this Agreement;
provided, however, that no Shareholder shall be subject to the voting agreements
in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement if such Shareholder is
PTIC
or if such Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds less than 3%
of the
Common Shares (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares basis).
It is
acknowledged and agreed that no Shareholder shall be bound to vote in respect
of
any matter in the same manner as its nominee director voted in respect of
such
matter in his or her capacity as a director on the Board of Directors. The
Shareholders agree that the Credit Agreement Debt constitutes “Designated Debt”
as defined in the Articles of Amendment.
2.2 Francisco
Partners Nominees and Xxxxxxxx Nominees on the Board of
Directors
The
Board of Directors will be
composed of nine members unless a change to the number of directors is approved
by Francisco Partners II (Cayman), L.P. as the Controlling Shareholder of
Arsenal Holdco I, S.a.r.l. The number of directors to be nominated by Francisco
Partners II (Cayman), L.P. (each, a “Francisco Partners Nominee”)
shall be equal to the product of the number of directors
the Board of
Directors is composed of and the number of Common Shares owned by the holders
of
Class 1 Shares (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares basis)
divided
by the number of outstanding Common Shares (calculated on an as-if converted
into Common Shares basis) and rounded up to the nearest whole number; provided,
however, that Francisco Partners II (Cayman), L.P. shall be entitled to nominate
at least one director so long as the Francisco Partners Group holds at least
5%
of the Common Shares (calculated on as-if converted to Common Shares basis);
and
provided, further, however, that Francisco Partners II (Cayman), L.P. shall
not
be entitled to nominate more than four directors unless the Francisco Partners
Group holds at least 55% of the Common Shares (calculated on as-if converted
to
Common Shares basis). The number of directors to be nominated by Xxxxxxxx
(each,
a “Xxxxxxxx Nominee”) shall be equal to the product of the
number of directors the Board of Directors is composed of and the number
of
Common Shares owned by the Xxxxxxxx Group (calculated on an as-if converted
to
Common Shares basis) divided by the number of outstanding Common Shares
(calculated on an as-if converted into Common Shares basis) and rounded up
to
the nearest whole number. Accordingly, each of the Shareholders agrees to
act
and vote from time to time so that on any election of directors by the
shareholders of the Corporation, the Francisco Partners Nominees and the
Xxxxxxxx Nominees to the Board of Directors are elected in accordance with
this
Section 2.2. The remaining directors of the Board of Directors shall be
independent directors nominated by the Board of Directors. For the avoidance
of
doubt, as of the date of this Agreement, Francisco Partners shall initially
nominate four directors and Xxxxxxxx shall initially nominate three directors.
In the event that Francisco Partners II (Cayman), L.P. requests that a Francisco
Partners Nominee be removed or replaced as a director of the Corporation
or that
Xxxxxxxx requests that a Xxxxxxxx Nominee be removed or replaced as a director
of the Corporation, then each of the Shareholders agrees to act and vote
for
such removal in accordance with this Section 2.2. Each Shareholder hereby
grants
Francisco Partners II (Cayman), L.P. and Xxxxxxxx a proxy, which shall be
irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law and is coupled with
an
interest, to vote such Shareholder’s Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder shall be subject to the voting
agreements in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement and the grant
of
proxy pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall become void if such Shareholder
is PTIC
or if such Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds less than 3%
of the
Common Shares (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares
basis).
Each
of
the Francisco Partners Nominees and the Xxxxxxxx Nominees shall be an individual
who is not disqualified under applicable law from acting as a
director.
2.3 Notice
of
Directors Meetings
Notice
of directors meetings
shall be given, in writing, in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation,
and such notice shall also contain a statement as to the nature of the business
proposed to be transacted at such meeting. Such notice shall be accompanied
by
all relevant documentation or information required for directors to make
an
informed decision regarding the business to be transacted.
2.4 Expenses
of
Directors
The
Corporation shall reimburse
all directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending
meetings of the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of
Directors.
2.5 Board
of
Directors Committees
The
Board of Directors shall
maintain a standing committee to be known as the “Audit
Committee” and a standing committee to be known
as the
“Compensation Committee”. At the option of Francisco Partners
so long as the Francisco Partners Group is entitled to nominate at least
one
director to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2, at least one of
the
members of the Audit Committee, at least one of the members of the Compensation
Committee, and at least one member of any other standing or ad hoc committee
of
the Board of Directors, shall be a Francisco Partners Nominee so long as
the
Francisco Partners Group holds 1/8th or more
of the
Shares subject to this Agreement.
2.6 Directors’
Liability Insurance
The
Corporation will maintain
directors’ liability insurance for each of the directors of the Corporation with
coverage acceptable to the Board of Directors. The Corporation will not assign,
transfer, dispose of, surrender, borrow upon or in any way encumber such
insurance.
2.7 Board
of
Directors Observer
Each
of Francisco Partners,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and EdgeStone, as the case may be, shall have the
option at its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to designate
an observer representative to receive notice of and attend meetings of the
Board
of Directors and meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors (the
“Observer”), provided the Observer agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 10.1. The Observer shall
have
no right to vote as a director of the Corporation with respect to any matter
and
shall not be included in any determination as to whether a quorum for any
particular meeting exists. The minutes of each meeting of the Board of Directors
or any such committee at which the Observer is present shall record that
the
Observer was present and acting in the capacity as an observer and not as
a
director. The Corporation shall pay the Observer’s reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors or any
committee of the Board of Directors. The rights of Francisco Partners in
this
Section 2.7 shall terminate once Francisco Partners is no longer entitled
to
nominate a director under Section 2.2, and the rights of Xxxxxxxx
in this Section 2.7 shall terminate once Xxxxxxxx is no longer entitled to
nominate a director under Section 2.2. The rights of EdgeStone in this Section
2.7 shall terminate once the EdgeStone Group no longer holds at least 50%
of the
Common Shares (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares basis) held
by
the EdgeStone Group on the date hereof and reflected on Schedule D. The rights
of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx in this Section 2.7 shall terminate once the MS Investors
no
longer hold at least 25% of the Common Shares (calculated on an as-if converted
to Common Shares basis) held by them on the date hereof and reflected on
Schedule D.
2.8 Certain
Matters Requiring Investors Majority Approval
Provided
that members of the
Francisco Partners Group hold, in the aggregate, at least 5% of the Common
Shares (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares basis),
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to any
other
approvals that may be required by law or pursuant to the articles, by-laws
or
other organizational documents of the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries,
without the prior written consent of an Investors Majority, neither the
Corporation shall nor shall it cause or permit any of the Subsidiaries to
at any
time take or agree or commit to take any action referred to in Appendix 2.
It is
acknowledged by the Parties that the provisions referenced in Appendix 2
are for
the benefit of the Investors and may be amended or waived by the mutual
agreement of the Corporation and an Investors Majority at any time.
2.9 Annual
Budget
At
least 30 days prior to the
Corporation’s fiscal year-end, the Corporation shall submit the annual budget
and business plan of the Corporation, including a detailed operating budget
and
a capital budget and the sources of financing thereof, with detailed supporting
assumptions, to the Board of Directors for approval and thereafter from time
to
time as appropriate, any restatements or updates or deviations thereto to
the
extent they contain items or amounts not consistent with the normal course
operations of the Business and previously approved budgets.

required
under the Debt Obligations, if, in the case of (i) or (ii) above,

basis
than the Corporation provides to the Board of Directors or is
required to
provide under Section 2.10(a).
|
||
(c)

The
rights of the Investors and EdgeStone in this Section 2.10 shall
terminate

A.
|
2.11 Access
The
Corporation shall, and the Corporation shall cause each of the Subsidiaries
to,
at any and all reasonable times on reasonable notice and during business

the
Subsidiaries, whether in ordinary or machine language, and to make copies

Corporation shall bear the costs to the Corporation and any Subsidiary of
compliance with this Section 2.11. In no event shall the Corporation be required
to disclose information that it is prohibited from disclosing by contract
(unless the applicable Investor enters into a confidentiality agreement that
has
the effect of eliminating such prohibition) or otherwise by law. The rights
of
the Investors and EdgeStone in this Section 2.11 shall terminate after a
Qualified IPO. In addition, and if earlier, the rights of EdgeStone in this

ARTICLE
3
VOTING
AGREEMENT OF INVESTORS

so
long as this Agreement remains in effect, each Investor agrees to vote any

all Shares held by it from time to time in the manner designated by Francisco
Partners so long as the Francisco Partners Group, excluding any Person to
which
Francisco Partners shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets,
holds
at least 30% of the Class 1 Shares. Each Investor hereby grants Francisco
Partners a proxy, which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible

accordance with this provision for so long as the Francisco Partners Group,
excluding any Person to which Francisco Partners shall transfer all or
substantially all of its assets, holds at least 30% of the Class 1 Shares.
Francisco Partners agrees not to vote such Investor’s Shares to effect any
amendment to the Articles of Amendment that would have an adverse and
disproportionate effect on the MS Investors as compared to the other
Investors.
ARTICLE
4
PRE-EMPTIVE
RIGHTS
4.1 Exercise
of
Pre-Emptive Rights
(a)
|
In
the event that the Corporation or any Subsidiary proposes to
undertake an
issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series
of related
transactions), it shall give to each Principal Shareholder (as
such term
is defined below) written notice of its intention to issue New
Securities
(the “Pre-Emptive Right Notice”),
describing the amount and the type of New Securities
and the
price and the proposed closing date, upon which the Corporation
proposes
to issue the New Securities. For the purposes of this Section
4.1, the
term “Principal Shareholders” means (i)
each Shareholder who is a Shareholder on the date hereof, or
any Permitted
Transferee of such Shareholder, and (ii) each other Shareholder
who,
together with its Affiliates, holds not less than five percent
(5%) of the
Common Shares then outstanding (calculated on an as-if converted
to Common
Shares basis).
|
(b)
|
Each
Principal Shareholder shall have 15 Business Days from the date
of receipt
of any such Pre-Emptive Right Notice (the “Pre-Emptive Right
Acceptance Period”) to agree in writing (i) to
purchase up to its Pro Rata Share (as nearly as may be determined
without division into fractions) of the New Securities (which
for the
purpose of this Article 4 shall be calculated based on holdings
on the day
immediately prior to the date of delivery by the Corporation
of the
Pre-Emptive Right Notice) for the price and on the other terms
specified
in the Pre-Emptive Right Notice and (ii) to purchase more than
its Pro
Rata Share (if available) up to a maximum number of the New Securities
to
be specified by such Principal Shareholder. Such right to purchase
its Pro
Rata Share of New Securities and, if desired, more than its Pro
Rata Share
shall be exercised by a Principal Shareholder by giving written
notice (a
“Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Notice”)
to the Corporation of such intention and stating therein
the
maximum number of New Securities it is willing to purchase (which
number
may be greater or less than its Pro Rata Share). If a Principal
Shareholder fails to deliver such notice to the Corporation within
the
Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Period, it shall be deemed to have
declined
to exercise its right to purchase any New Securities. If any
Principal
Shareholder does not give a Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Notice
within the
Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Period or specifies in its Pre-Emptive
Right
Acceptance Notice a number of Shares less than its Pro Rata Share,
the
resulting unaccepted New Securities shall be deemed to have been
offered
by the Corporation to such of the Principal Shareholders who
specified in
their respective Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Notices a desire
to acquire
a number of the New Securities greater than their Pro Rata Share,
and each
such Principal Shareholder is, subject to the maximum number
of the New
Securities specified in its Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Notice,
entitled
to acquire its Pro Rata Share (calculated relative to each of
the
Principal Shareholders wishing to purchase more than its Pro
Rata Share)
of the unaccepted New Securities based upon the number of Shares
(calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares basis) owned
by such
Principal Shareholders (calculated based on holdings on the day
immediately prior to the delivery of the Pre-Emptive Right Notice),
as
between themselves, or in such other proportion as such Principal
Shareholders may agree in writing.
|
||
(c)
|
The
Corporation shall, from time to time, when requested to do so,
advise each
of the Principal Shareholders promptly of the names of the other
Principal
Shareholders who have accepted the Corporation’s offer as contained in a
PreEmptive Right Notice and the number of New Securities in respect
of which each such Principal Shareholder has accepted such
offer.
|
||
(d)
|
Any
New Securities not accepted by the Principal Shareholders pursuant
to
Section 4.1(b) may be offered and sold by the Corporation to
third parties
for a period not to exceed 60 Business Days following the end
of the
Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Period at the same or higher price
and upon
non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof
than as
specified in the Pre-Emptive Right Notice. In the event that
the
Corporation has not issued and sold such New Securities within
such 60
Business Day period, then the Corporation shall not thereafter
issue or
sell any New Securities without again first offering such New
Securities
to the Principal Shareholders pursuant to this Article 4. If
the
Corporation offers any New Securities not taken up by Principal
Shareholders pursuant to Section 4.1(b), the Corporation shall
promptly
notify the Principal Shareholders upon entering into one or more
binding
purchase agreement(s) during the 60 Business Day period referred
to
herein, including as to (i) the number of New Securities, if
any, that the
Corporation will issue (specifying respective numbers to be purchased
by
the Principal Shareholders on the one hand (if any) and by other
Person(s)
on the other hand), (ii) the material terms of such issuance(s)
and (iii)
the name(s) of the purchaser(s) of any New Securities to be issued
(other
than the Principal Shareholders).
|
||
(e)
|
All
sales of New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be
consummated
contemporaneously at the offices of the Corporation as soon as
is
reasonably practicable on such date as the Board of Directors
and the
persons purchasing New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1
may
reasonably determine, but in no event later than the later of
(i) 60
Business Days following the end of the PreEmptive Right Acceptance
Period; or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration
or
termination of all waiting periods under any competition or anti-combines

therefor.
|

(f)
|
The
Corporation may issue New Securities without complying with the

4.2 Future
Shares
The
Corporation agrees that, as a
condition precedent to the grant or issuance of any securities (including
Convertible Securities) to a Person that, giving effect to such grant or
issuance, would hold in excess of 2.5% of the outstanding Common Shares
(calculated on as-if converted to Common Shares basis), whether now authorized
or not, it will require that the holder of such securities sign an Assumption
Agreement and if the purchaser is a corporate entity, such agreement will
also
be signed by any Person who Controls such corporation; provided, however,
that
if any such grant or issuance is pursuant to the exercise or conversion
of any
Convertible Security granted or issued prior to the date of this Agreement,
the
Corporation shall only be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts
to
comply with the foregoing covenant.

RIGHTS
OF FIRST REFUSAL, TAG-ALONG, AND DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS
6.1 Transfer
Notice
In
the
event that any Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”)
receives from any Person, acting as principal and dealing
at arm’s
length with such Shareholder (the “Third Party Offeror”), a
bona fide written offer to purchase (other than pursuant to a Transfer permitted
by Section 5.2) Shares or Convertible Securities or other equity securities
held
by the Transferring Shareholder (the “Third Party Offer”),
which the Transferring Shareholder wishes to accept (subject
to
compliance with Section 6.2 and 6.3), the Transferring Shareholder will give
notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Corporation and to each
of the Shareholders (other than any Shareholder that is also a Transferring
Shareholder) (the “Other Shareholders”) setting
forth:
(a)
|
the
identity of the Third Party Offeror;
|
||
(b)
|
if
the Third Party Offeror is a corporation, the names of the
principal
shareholders, directors and officers of the Third Party
Offeror;
|
||
(c)
|
the
number and classes of Shares or Convertible Securities or other
equity
securities proposed to be sold by the Transferring Shareholder
(the
“Offeror’s Securities”);
|
||
(d)
|
the
price of and terms of payment for the Offeror's Securities;
and
|
||
(e)
|
a
summary of any other material terms for such sale including
the proposed
closing
date.
|
The
Transfer Notice shall contain an offer to sell all of the Offeror’s Securities
to the Corporation first and then the Other Shareholders (as set out in Section
6.2) at the price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The
Transfer Notice shall include a full and complete copy of the written offer
delivered by the Third Party Offeror. In all circumstances the proposed
consideration for any Offeror’s Securities must be in cash and/or Marketable
Securities. The offer contained in the Transfer Notice shall be irrevocable
except with the consent of Corporation or the Other Shareholders, as applicable,
and shall be open for acceptance for a period
of
19 Business Days after the date upon which the Transfer Notice was received
by
the Corporation and 20 Business Days after the date upon which the Transfer
Notice was received by the Other Shareholders (each, an “Acceptance
Period”).
All
Transfer
Notices and Drag-Along Offers (as defined in Section 6.4) given under this
Article 6 must be given concurrently to all Other Shareholders and the
Corporation.
6.2 Rights
of First
Refusal
Upon
receipt
of a Transfer Notice and subject to all of the provisions of this Section
6.2,
the Corporation and the Other Shareholders shall have the following rights
and
options:
(a)
|
The
Corporation shall have the first right to purchase any or all
of the
Offeror's Securities if it gives a notice in writing (an “Acceptance
Notice”) accepting the offer contained in the Transfer
Notice and specifying the number of the Offeror's Securities
it wishes to
acquire.
|
||
(b)
|
If
the Corporation does not give an Acceptance Notice to purchase
any or all
of the Offeror's Securities at least one Business Day prior
to the
expiration of the Acceptance Period, each of the Other Shareholders
shall
have the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of the
Offeror's
Securities not to be purchased by the Corporation at the price
and on the
terms and conditions contained in the Transfer Notice.
|
||
(c)
|
Subject
to Sections 6.2(a) and (b), within the Acceptance Period, each
of the
Other Shareholders may give to the Transferring Shareholder
an Acceptance
Notice accepting the offer contained in the Transfer Notice
and specifying
the maximum number of the Offeror's Securities not to be purchased
by the
Corporation that it wishes to acquire (which number may be
greater than or
less than its Pro Rata Share). Each of the Other Shareholders
shall have
the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of the Offeror's
Securities
not to be purchased by the Corporation (which for purposes
of this Section
6.2 shall be calculated based on holdings on the day immediately
prior to
the delivery of the Transfer Notice), as nearly as may be determined
without division into fractions and, if available, a number
of the
Offeror's Securities not to be purchased by the Corporation
greater than
its Pro Rata Share up to a stated maximum. Any Other Shareholder
who does
not give an Acceptance Notice within the Acceptance Period
shall be deemed
to have declined to purchase any of the Offeror's Securities.
If any Other
Shareholder does not give an Acceptance Notice within the Acceptance
Period or specifies in its Acceptance Notice a number of Shares
less than
its Pro Rata Share, the resulting unaccepted Offeror's Securities
shall be
deemed to have been offered by the Transferring Shareholder
to such of the
Other Shareholders who specified in their respective Acceptance
Notices a
desire to acquire a number of the Offeror's Securities not
to be purchased
by the Corporation greater than their Pro Rata Share, and each
such Other
Shareholder is, subject to the maximum number of the Offeror's
Securities
specified in its Acceptance Notice, entitled to acquire its
Pro Rata Share
(calculated relative to each of the other Shareholders wishing
to purchase
more than its Pro Rata Share) of the unaccepted Offeror's Securities
based
upon the number of Shares (calculated on an as-if converted
to Common
Shares basis) owned by such Other Shareholders (calculated
based on
holdings on the day immediately prior to the delivery of the
Transfer
Notice), as between themselves, or in such other proportion
as such Other
Shareholders may agree in writing. If (i) the Corporation gives
notice
pursuant to Section 6.2(a) to purchase all of the Offeror's
Securities or
(ii) the Other Shareholders, or any of them, give Acceptance
Notices
within the Acceptance Period confirming their agreement to
purchase all of
the Offeror's Securities not to be purchased by the Corporation,
the sale
of the Offeror's Securities to the Corporation and/or such
Other
Shareholders shall be completed within 15 Business Days of
the expiry of
the Acceptance Period.
|
||
(d)
|
If
both (i) the Corporation does not give an Acceptance Notice
to purchase
all of the Shares at least one Business Day prior to the expiry
of the
Acceptance Period and (ii) the Other Shareholders do not give
notice of
acceptance prior to the expiry of the Acceptance Period which
would result
in the purchase of all, but not less than all, of the Offeror's
Securities
not to be purchased by the Corporation, the Transferring Shareholder
will,
notwithstanding any notices of acceptance of the Offeror's
Securities by
the Corporation or any Other Shareholders, subject to the provisions
of
Section 6.3, have the right to sell the Offeror's Securities
to the Third
Party Offeror for a period of 60 Business Days from the expiration
of the
Acceptance Period for a price not less than that provided for
in the
Transfer Notice and on terms and conditions not materially
more favorable
to the Third Party Offeror than those set out in the Transfer
Notice,
provided that such Third Party Offeror first executes and delivers
to the
Corporation an Assumption Agreement. If such Transfer is not
consummated
within such 60 Business Day period, the Transferring Shareholder
will not
Transfer any of the Offeror's Securities without again complying
with all
of the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.
|
||
(e)
|
Any
Transfer entered into in connection with this Section 6.2 shall
not
provide a Collateral Benefit to any Shareholder or any Affiliate
or
Related Party thereof.
|
||
(f)
|
For
greater certainty, no rights shall arise under this Article
6 in respect
of any purchases by Other Shareholders pursuant to the exercise
of rights
under this section.
|
||
(g)
|
The
provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.2 shall not apply to the Transfer
of any
Shares or Convertible Securities pursuant to the provisions
of Section 6.3
or 6.4 and which are exercised in accordance with the terms
thereof.
|
||
(h)
|
Each
Other Shareholder may assign its right to exercise its right
of first
refusal under this 6.2, in whole or in part, to any of its
Affiliates, or,
in the case of the Francisco Partners Group, the MS Investors,
the
Xxxxxxxx Group or the EdgeStone Group to any member or members
of the
Francisco Partners Group or the MS Investors or any MS Affiliate
or the
Xxxxxxxx Group or the EdgeStone Group, as applicable, provided
such member
or members (and Controlling Persons in the case of the Xxxxxxxx
Group)
have first entered into an Assumption
Agreement.
|
6.3 Tag-Along
Rights
Upon
receipt
of a Transfer Notice, any Other Shareholder(s) may elect to participate
in the
proposed Transfer by delivering written notice to the Corporation and
Transferring Shareholder within the Acceptance Period. Each of the Other
Shareholders so electing will be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer,
the same proportion (calculated on an as-if converted to Common Shares
basis) of
the Shares and Convertible Securities held by each such Other Shareholder,
respectively, as the proportion of the Transferring Shareholder’s total holdings
which the Transferring Shareholder proposes to sell pursuant to the Transfer
Notice (calculated on an as-if-converted to Common Shares basis), on the
same
terms (other than price) set forth in the Transfer Notice, and at a price
determined as follows:
(a)
|
if
the Transferring Shareholder is proposing to sell Common
Shares:
|
|
(i)
|
any
Common Shares to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall be sold
at the same
price per share as the Common Shares proposed to be sold by
the
Transferring Shareholder, as set forth in the Transfer
Notice;
|
|
(ii)
|
any
Class 1 Shares to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall be
sold at a price
per share equal to the TR Value calculated based on a value
per share
equal to the price per Common Share proposed by the Transferring
Shareholder;
|
|
(iii)
|
any
Convertible Securities to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall
be sold at
a price per Convertible Security equal to: (A) the value of
the Common
Shares underlying such Convertible Security, where such Common
Shares are
valued at the same price per share as the Common Shares proposed
to be
sold by the Transferring Shareholder, as set forth in the Transfer
Notice,
less (B) any amount payable by the holder of the Convertible
Securities on
the exercise, exchange or conversion thereof;
|
|
(b)
|
if
the Transferring Shareholder is proposing to sell Class 1
Shares:
|
|
(i)
|
any
Common Shares to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall be valued
at a
price per share equal to the price per Class 1 Share proposed
to be sold
by the Transferring Shareholder, as set forth in the Transfer
Notice,
divided by the number of Common Shares into which a Class 1
Share could
convert at the Conversion Value for the Class 1 Shares then
in effect (the
“Notional Common Share Value”);
|
|
(ii)
|
any
Class 1 Shares to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall be
sold at the
same price per share as the Class 1 Shares proposed to be sold
by the
Transferring Shareholder, as set forth in the Transfer Notice;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
any
Convertible Securities to be sold by an Other Shareholder shall
be sold at
a price per Convertible Security equal to: (A) the Notional
Common Share
Value multiplied by the number of Common Shares underlying
such
Convertible Security, less (B) any amount payable by the holder
of the
Convertible Securities on the exercise, exchange or conversion
thereof.
|
|
(c)
|
if
the Transferring Shareholder is proposing to sell Convertible
Securities
(other than Class 1 Shares), only Shareholders holding the
same type of
Convertible Securities with identical provisions (other than
the number of
underlying securities in respect of which the Convertible Securities
are
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible) as the Convertible
Securities
which are the subject of the Transfer Notice may exercise tag-along
rights
pursuant to this Section 6.3, and any such Convertible Securities
shall be
sold at the same price for each of the Convertible Securities
(based on a
unit basis) proposed to be sold by the Transferring Shareholder,
as set
forth in the Transfer Notice. The Shareholders shall have no
right to
exercise tag-along rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) in
respect of
Common Shares, Class 1 Shares or other Convertible Securities
which are
not identical to the Convertible Securities which are the subject
of the
Transfer Notice.
|
For
greater certainty, no rights
shall arise under this Section 6.3 as a result of any purchases in accordance
with the exercise of rights of first refusal under Section 6.2 nor shall
the
provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3 apply to the Transfer of any Shares or
Convertible Securities to which the provisions of Section 6.4 apply and which
are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any transaction or series of transactions contemplated
by this
Section 6.3 would result in a Change of Control Event, the Shareholders shall
not complete the proposed transaction unless the aggregate consideration
payable
by the Third Party Offeror pursuant to this Section 6.3 is allocated in
accordance with the Articles of Amendment as if it were a “Change of
Control Event” thereunder.
Any
purchase and sale agreement entered into in conjunction with this Section
6.3
shall:
(a)
|
contain
only several (not joint and several) representations, warranties
and
covenants from any holder of Shares or Convertible Securities
with
recourse limited to that Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate
purchase price to all Shareholders;
|
|
|
(b)
|
contain
a limitation on the liability each Shareholder assumes, with
respect to
all indemnities, if any, provided to the Third Party Offeror,
to that
Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate purchase price to all
Shareholders;
|
(c)
|
not
require the Shareholders that participate in the transaction
pursuant to
this Section 6.3 to provide representations or warranties or
covenants
related to the Corporation but shall require them to provide
typical
title, ownership and authority to sell representations;
|
|
(d)
|
not
provide a Collateral Benefit to any Shareholder or any Affiliate
or
Related Party thereof (other than the right to receive the purchase
price
calculated in accordance with the provisions above); and
|
|
(e)
|
be
conditional upon completion of the purchase by the Third Party
Offeror of
the Shares or Convertible Securities held by the Transferring
Shareholder
which are subject to the Transfer
Notice.
|
Any
Shareholder not giving notice within the Acceptance Period under this Section
6.3 shall be deemed to have declined to exercise its tag-along rights under
this
Section 6.3
If
any of
the Other Shareholders exercises its rights hereunder, the purchase and sale
of
the Shares and Convertible Securities of the Corporation to the Third Party
Offeror pursuant to the Transfer Notice shall be completed at the same time
as
the purchase and sale of the Offeror’s Securities and as part of the same
closing.
To
the
extent that the Other Shareholders do not exercise their rights hereunder,
the
Transferring Shareholder shall be entitled to sell the Shares specified in
the
Transfer Notice in accordance with the terms thereof for a period of 60 Business
Days after the expiry of the Acceptance Period. If the sale is not completed
within such 60 Business Day period, the provisions of Article 6 shall again
apply to any proposed sale of Shares and so on from time to time.
6.4 Drag-Along
Rights
(a)
|
If
any Shareholder receives from a third party (the “Third
Party”) acting as principal and dealing at arm’s length with the
Transferring Shareholder, a bona fide written offer (the “Third
Party Offer”) to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Shares and Convertible Securities (which transaction may include,
without
limitation, an offer pursuant to a merger, amalgamation, arrangement,
capital reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction),
and the
Third Party Offer is accepted by either (i) Shareholders holding
at least
50% of the votes attached to the outstanding Shares and Convertible
Securities held by parties to this Agreement (including votes
that attach
to securities issuable upon exercise of Convertible Securities)
so long as
the Third Party Offer is a Qualifying Offer (as defined hereinafter),
or
(ii) an Investors Majority (the “Accepting
Shareholders”), the Accepting Shareholders shall be entitled to
obtain from the Third Party an offer (a “Drag-Along
Offer”) to purchase all of the Shares and Convertible Securities
of the Corporation held by the Shareholders other than the
Accepting
Shareholders (the “Forced Shareholders”) on the same
terms and conditions as contained in the Third Party Offer,
subject to the
provisions of Section 6.4(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Xxxxxxxx
shall not be required to accept a Drag Along Offer prior to
the date one
year from the date of this Agreement. If the consideration
to be received
by the Forced Shareholders in the Drag-Along Offer includes
consideration
other than cash or cash equivalents, the Drag-Along Offer shall,
if
necessary, include a valuation prepared in accordance with
Section 6.5.
The Drag-Along Offer shall be irrevocable. For the purposes
of this
Agreement, a “Qualifying Offer” means a Third Party
Offer: (i) received within two years from the date hereof,
and (ii)
pursuant to which the holders of the Class 1 Shares purchased
by the
Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement would be entitled
to
receive aggregate proceeds, payable in cash, equal to not less
than $2,000
for each Class 1 Share held by such Persons.
|
||
(b)
|
The
Drag-Along Offer shall:
|
||
(i)
|
not
provide a Collateral Benefit to any Shareholder or any Affiliate
or
Related Party thereof (other than, to the extent that proceeds
are
distributed in accordance with the Articles of Amendment, in
the case of
any holder of Class 1 Shares, the right of such holder to receive
the TR
Value)
|
||
(ii)
|
require
each of the Shareholders to provide such representations, warranties
and
indemnities as are customary and reasonably requested by the
Third Party;
and
|
||
(iii)
|
provide
that each such Shareholder's liability for representations, warranties
and
indemnities provided to the Third Party shall be, in any event,
limited to
such Shareholder's pro rata share of the proceeds received from
the
transaction.
|
||
(c)
|
The
Forced Shareholders shall be obliged to accept the Drag-Along
Offer (or
otherwise take all necessary action to cause the Corporation
to consummate
the proposed transaction, as applicable) within 3 Business Days
of receipt
or such other period agreeable to the Accepting Shareholders.
The
acceptance of the Drag-Along Offer shall be made in writing and
a copy of
the acceptance (or of the accepted Drag-Along Offer) shall be
delivered to
the Accepting Shareholders within such 3 Business Day period.
|
||
(d)
|
If
any of the Forced Shareholders do not deliver an acceptance of
the
Drag-Along Offer within the 3 Business Day period referred to
above, the
Secretary of the Corporation (the “Drag-Along Offer
Attorney”) shall be entitled to, and the Shareholders
acknowledge, agree and authorize the Drag-Along Offer Attorney
to, accept
the Drag-Along Offer on behalf of such Forced Shareholders and
to deliver
the acceptance to the Third Party and, for such purpose, each
of the
Forced Shareholders hereby appoints the Drag-Along Offer Attorney
as its
attorney, on the terms set forth in Section 11.2, with full power
of
substitution, in the name of the Forced Shareholder to accept
the
Drag-Along Offer and to execute and deliver all documents and
instruments
to give effect to such acceptance and to establish a binding
contract of
purchase and sale between the Forced Shareholder and the Third
Party with
respect to all of the Shares and other securities held by the
Forced
Shareholder and to execute and deliver all deeds, transfers,
assignments
and assurances necessary to effectively Transfer such Shares
to the Third
Party. Each of the Shareholders agrees that it will perform the
agreement
resulting from acceptance of the Drag-Along Offer in accordance
with its
terms and will ratify and confirm all that the Drag-Along Offer
Attorney
may do or cause to be done pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding
that
certificates or instruments evidencing the Shares or Convertible
Securities may not have been delivered by any Forced Shareholder
to the
Third Party, upon completion of the Third Party's obligations
under the
Third Party Offer:
|
||
(i)
|
the
purchase of Shares or Convertible Securities from the Forced
Shareholder
shall be deemed to have been fully completed and the records
of the
Corporation may be amended accordingly;
|
||
(ii)
|
all
right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity,
in and to
the Shares or Convertible Securities shall be conclusively deemed
to have
been transferred and assigned to and become vested in the Third
Party;
and
|
||
(iii)
|
all
right, title, benefit and interest of such Forced Shareholder
and of any
other Person (other than the Third Party) having an interest
in such
Shares, legal or equitable, in any capacity whatsoever shall
cease.
|
||
(e)
|
The
purchase and sale of Shares and Convertible Securities in accordance
with
the provisions of the Drag-Along Offer shall be completed at
the same time
and on the same terms as the completion of the purchase and sale
of Shares
and Convertible Securities and/or other securities between the
Accepting
Shareholders and the Third Party in accordance with the Third
Party Offer
and as part of the same closing within 60 Business Days after
expiry of
the 3 Business Day period referred to in Section 6.4(c).
|
||
(f)
|
In
the event that a Drag-Along Offer is made in connection with
a Third Party
Offer and the Shares held by the Accepting Shareholders and the

Waivers,
Amendments
Except
as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement and without limiting the applicability of the
following sentence, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding
on
a Party unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby. Any
amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any provision thereof shall be binding
on all Parties, and each Party shall sign an instrument evidencing same,
if such
amendment or waiver has been consented to in writing (whether signed in one
or
more counterparts) by the Corporation and an Investors Majority; provided,
however, that in the event of an amendment or waiver affecting any Shareholder
in a manner that is materially and adversely disproportionate from the manner
in
which such amendment or waiver affects any other Shareholder or group of
Shareholders, the waiver and amendment shall require the consent in writing
of
each such Shareholder who is disproportionately affected; provided, further,
however, that any amendment or waiver of this Section 11.7 shall
require the consent in writing of each Shareholder. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, no waiver of any provision of this
Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other
provision nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
11.8 Counterparts

agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together shall be
but
one and the same instrument. Each Party agrees that the delivery of this

Assigns
Except
as otherwise specifically permitted herein, neither this Agreement nor any
of
the rights of any of the Shareholders may be assigned without the prior written
consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, other
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns and transferees
of
Shares or Convertible Securities.
11.10 Application
of this
Agreement
The
terms
of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to any securities of the
Corporation resulting from the conversion, reclassification, redesignation,
subdivision or consolidation or other change of the Shares.
11.11 Equitable
Relief
Each
of the parties acknowledges
that any breach by such Party of his, her, or its obligations under this
Agreement would cause substantial and irreparable damage to one or more of
the
other parties and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor.
Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other parties or any of them will
be
entitled to an injunction, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief
to prevent the breach of such obligations.
