(a) Restricted Sale Notice. Such Selling Stockholder shall promptly deliver a notice of intention to sell (a “Restricted Sale Notice”) to the Company and to each Restricted Rights Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock (or any security of the Company convertible into Common Stock) to be sold (the “Restricted Sale Securities”), the identity of the proposed purchaser and the proposed purchase price and terms of sale (including a copy of any written offer or indication of interest), except that no Restricted Sale Notice need be given by any Selling Stockholder exercising any right to sell securities in response to a Restricted Sale Notice delivered pursuant to this paragraph (a).
(b) Right of First Refusal. Upon receipt of the Restricted Sale Notice, the Company shall have the first right and option to purchase, at the price and on the terms stated in the Restricted Sale Notice, all or part of the Restricted Sale Securities. In the event the Company does not purchase all of the Restricted Sale Securities, each Restricted Rights Holder or its nominee shall have the right and option to elect to purchase at the price and on the terms stated in the Restricted Sale Notice, all or part of that number of remaining Restricted Sale Securities, which is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of remaining shares of Restricted Sale Securities, covered by such distribution by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Stockholder Shares at the time owned by such Restricted Rights Holder (or transferred by such Restricted Rights Holder to its Permitted Transferee) and the denominator of which is the number of Stockholder Shares at the time owned by all Restricted Rights Holders.
(c) Right of Co-Sale. In the event all of the Restricted Sale Securities are not purchased pursuant to paragraph (b) above and the Selling Stockholder sells such remaining Restricted Sale Securities in a transaction or series of transactions in which the consideration paid for such Restricted Sale Securities exceeds $100,000, each Restricted Rights Holder shall have the right and option to elect to sell, at the price and on the terms stated in the Restricted Sale Notice, all or part of that number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock which is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Restricted Sale Securities, covered by such distribution by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Stockholder Shares at the time owned by such Restricted Rights Holder (or transferred by such Restricted Rights Holder to its Permitted Transferee) and the denominator of which is the number of Stockholder Shares at the time owned by all the Restricted Rights Holders.
(d) First Refusal Procedures. With respect to any election pursuant to paragraph (b) above:
(i) Any such election by the Company shall be made by written notice (a “Company Buy Notice”) to the Selling Stockholder and the Restricted Rights Holders within 10 business days after receipt by the Company of the Restricted Sale Notice. Such Company Buy Notice shall state whether or not the Company is electing to purchase any Restricted Sale Securities, and if so, how many Restricted Sale Securities it will purchase. Thereafter, any such election by the Restricted Rights Holders shall be made by written notice (together with the Company Buy Notice, the “Buy Notice”) to the Company, the other Restricted Rights Holders and the Selling Stockholder within 10 business days (the “Option
-6-
Period”) after receipt by the Restricted Rights Holders of the Company Buy Notice. Any Buy Notice from a Restricted Rights Holder who wishes to exercise such Restricted Rights Holder’s right of purchase as to more than the number of shares of Restricted Sale Securities set forth above shall state the maximum number of Restricted Sale Securities such Restricted Rights Holder wishes to purchase. Any available excess Restricted Sale Securities (that is, Restricted Sale Securities as to which the other Restricted Rights Holders shall not have exercised their rights of purchase) shall be allocated to the Restricted Rights Holder so indicating such Restricted Rights Holder’s desire to purchase such excess Restricted Sale Securities in proportion to such Restricted Rights Holder’s respective interests, up to the quantity of Restricted Sale Securities requested; and
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the rights under paragraph (b) above may only be exercised if the Company and the Restricted Rights Holders elect to purchase all of the Restricted Sale Securities. If Buy Notices with respect to all of the Restricted Sale Securities shall have been received as aforesaid by the Selling Stockholder, such Selling Stockholder shall sell the Restricted Sale Securities to the Company, the Restricted Rights Holders or their nominees, as the case may be, at the price and on the terms stated in the Restricted Sale Notice. The closing of such sale of Restricted Sale Securities shall take place at the office of counsel for the Selling Stockholder no later than 60 business days following the expiration of the Option Period, or such other place and earlier date as may be agreed by all parties to the transaction. At such closing the Selling Stockholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold, accompanied by stock powers with signatures guaranteed and all necessary stock transfer stamps affixed, against receipt of the purchase price therefor.
(e) Co-Sale Procedures. With respect to any election pursuant to paragraph (c) above:
(i) Any such election shall be made by written notice (a “Co-Sale Notice”) to the Selling Stockholder and the Company within 10 business days following the expiration of the Option Period. Thereupon, the Selling Stockholder shall not sell any of the Restricted Sale Securities except at the price and on the terms stated in its Restricted Sale Notice and, if a Restricted Rights Holder shall have delivered a Co-Sale Notice in respect thereof as aforesaid, unless such Restricted Rights Holder shall have sold (or otherwise declined to sell) the shares in respect of which such Co-Sale Notice shall have been delivered, at said price and on said terms;
(ii) Upon electing to participate in a proposed sale pursuant to paragraph (c) above, each Restricted Rights Holder shall deliver to the Company, as its agent, for transfer to the proposed acquiror, one or more certificates, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock transfer powers duly endorsed for transfer, with all stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, which represent the number of shares of Common Stock that such Restricted Rights Holder shall have so elected to sell; and
(iii) The stock certificate or certificates delivered by each Restricted Rights Holder to the Company pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above shall be transferred by the Company to the acquiror in consummation of the sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Restricted Sale Notice, and the Company shall promptly thereafter remit to such Restricted Rights Holder that portion of the proceeds to which such Restricted Rights Holder is entitled by reason of such participation.
(f) Subsequent Sales. Any Restricted Sale Securities not sold pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (b) or (c) above prior to the expiration of 60 days following the expiration of the Option Period shall again be subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and shall not thereafter be Transferred except in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
