(c) Right of First Negotiation. If an Initial Member (the "Selling
Initial Member") desires to Transfer, directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, its interest in the Company (the "Offered Initial Member Interest") to a
third party other than a Permitted Transferee that would trigger paragraphs
16(d) or (f), the Selling Initial Member shall first give written notice (the
"Negotiation Notice") to the other Initial Member ("RFN Initial Member") of its
desire to so sell the Offered Initial Member Interest. Upon receipt of the
Negotiation Notice, the RFN Initial Member may attempt to negotiate the purchase
of all but not less than all of the Offered Initial Member Interest for a period
of ten (10) Business Days or such shorter or longer period as agreed in writing
by the Initial Members ("Negotiation Period"). The Selling Initial Member shall
have no obligation of any kind to sell or to reach an agreement to sell the
Offered Initial Member Interest to the RFN Initial Member. The consummation of
any sale negotiated within the Negotiation Period pursuant to this paragraph
16(c) shall be made free of the restrictions and requirements of paragraphs
16(d), (e) and (f) and must be consummated within thirty (30) Business Days
following the end of the Negotiation Period (except as such time period must be
extended to comply with Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx or other regulatory filings or by
mutual written agreement of the Initial Members). If (a) the Selling Initial
Member, in its sole discretion, does not agree to sell the Offered Initial
Member Interest to the RFN Initial Member within the Negotiation Period or (b)
any agreed sale is not consummated within the 30 Business Day period (as may be
extended per the above), the Selling Initial Member shall have the right to
Transfer the Offered Initial Member Interest to any other party, subject to
paragraphs 16(b), (d), (e) and (f). The Selling Initial Member will not again be
subject to this paragraph 16(c) with respect to any proposed Transfer of the
Offered Initial Member Interest unless more than one hundred eighty (180) days
has elapsed from the expiration of the Negotiation Period. Nothing contained in
this paragraph 16(c) shall in any way limit an Initial Member's rights regarding
an Offer Transfer Notice or Co-Sale Notice (each as defined below) initiated by
another Member.
(d) Right of First Offer.
(i) If a Member proposes to Transfer, directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part, its interest in the Company (the "Offered Interest") to a
third party other than a Permitted Transferee, such Member (the "Selling
Member") shall first give written notice (the "Offer Transfer Notice") to
the Company of its intention to sell the Offered Interest and of the terms
and conditions ("Offer Terms") on which the offer is proposed to be made,
including the cash value of the consideration and the date upon which the
sale is proposed to be made. The Company shall deliver such Offer Transfer
Notice to each Member other than the Selling Member ("Other Offerees")
within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof.
(ii) The Company shall have the right (subject to the consent of
the Initial Members), but not the obligation, to purchase all or a portion
of the Offered Interest, subject to the Offer Terms. If the Company elects
to acquire all or any portion of the Offered Interest, the Company shall so
notify the Selling Member within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of
the Offer Transfer Notice to the Company. Any such election shall be made
by written notice (a "Company Offer Election Notice") to the Selling
Member. The Company Offer Election Notice shall specify the portion of the
Offered Interest to which the Company desires to purchase on the Offer
Terms. The Company shall also deliver such Company Offer Election Notice to
the Other Offerees within the same day in which it delivered the Company
Offer Election Notice to the Selling Member.
(iii) In the event that the Company does not elect to purchase all
of the Offered Interest, the Other Offerees shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to purchase its pro rata share ("Pro Rate Offered
Interest") of the Offered Interest that the Company has not elected to
purchase pursuant to subparagraph 16(d)(ii) above in proportion to its
Percentage Interest in the Company, subject to the Offer Terms. If any of
the Other Offerees elects to acquire all or any portion of its Pro Rata
Offered Interest, such Other Offeree shall so notify the Selling Member and
the Company within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Offer
Transfer Notice. If and to the extent that any Pro Rata Offered Interest is
not subscribed to by any of the Other Offerees within the 15 Business Day
period, then the Other Offerees who have elected to purchase a Pro Rata
Offered Interest shall be given written notice thereof and shall have the
right (exercisable by written notice to the Selling Member within three (3)
Business Days after receipt of such written notice) to purchase from the
Selling Member the Pro Rata Offered Interest not otherwise subscribed to
(pro rata among those such Other Offerees who exercise such right).
(iv) If the Company and the Other Offerees make any such election
described above in this paragraph 16(d), the closing of the sale of the
Offered Interest shall be on the tenth Business Day (except as such time
period must be extended to comply with Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx or other
regulatory filings) after the expiration of the notice periods set forth
above. At such closing, the Selling Member shall sell and transfer the
Offered Interest against receipt of consideration from the Company and/or
the purchasing Other Offerees on the Offer Terms.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the
Company and the Other Offerees do not elect to purchase all of the Offered
Interest or (ii) the closing of the sale of all of the Offered Interest to
the Company and/or the Other Offerees has not been completed by the
scheduled closing date (other than to the extent such delay is caused by
the Selling Member), the Selling Member shall have no obligation to sell to
the Company and the Other Offerees and shall have the right to sell or
transfer any or all of the Offered Interest to any
third party, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16(e), at any time
within ninety (90) days following the later of (i) expiration of the period
in which an Offeree may elect to purchase the Offered Interest ("Offer
Period Expiration") or (ii) the last date for closing of such sale ("Last
Closing Date"), provided, however, that the consideration offered equals or
exceeds and the other terms and conditions of such offer are at least as
favorable in the aggregate to the Selling Member as those first offered to
the Offerees. The consummation of the sale or transfer to any third party
shall occur within six (6) months after the Offer Period Expiration or Last
Closing Date, as applicable, and if not so consummated, the Selling Member
shall be prohibited from selling or transferring its interest unless it
again complies with the terms of this paragraph 16(d) in respect of the
Offered Interest. If the Selling Member elects to sell the Offered Interest
to the third party pursuant to this paragraph, then it shall provide a
written notice of its intention to make such sale ("Co-Sale Notice")
together with a copy of any definitive documentation of such sale to the
Company and Initial Members at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
sale. In the Co-Sale Notice, the Selling Member will state (a) the portion
of the Offered Interest to be Transferred ("Co-Sale Interest"), (b) the
name and address of the prospective transferee, (c) the expected closing
date of the transaction, and (d) confirmation that the prospective
transferee has been informed of the provisions of paragraph 16(e).
(e) Co-Sale Right.
(i) Co-Sale Rights. If any Member proposes to Transfer, directly
or indirectly, in whole or in part, its Co-Sale Interest to a third party
other than a Permitted Transferee, the Initial Member that did not exercise
its rights and did not purchase any Offered Interest under paragraph 16(d)
(the "Co-Sale Offerees") shall have the right ("Co-Sale Right") to
participate in such Transfer to the prospective purchaser pursuant to this
paragraph 16(e) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer. The Co-Sale
Offerees shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Co-Sale
Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Member electing to
exercise its Co-Sale Right ("Co-Sale Election Notice"). The consummation of
such Transfer shall occur within ninety (90) days of the Co-Sale Transfer
Notice (except as such time period must be extended to comply with
Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx or other regulatory filings), and if not so consummated,
the Selling Member shall be prohibited from selling or transferring its
interest unless it again complies with the terms of this paragraph 16(e) in
respect of the Co-Sale Interest.
(ii) Interest to be Sold. The Selling Member shall use its best
efforts to arrange for the sale to the prospective purchaser of a portion
of the interest in the Company held by each Co-Sale Offeree who elects to
exercise its Co-Sale Right ("Electing Co-Sale Offerees") that bears the
same proportion to such Electing Co-Sale Offeree's total interest in the
Company as the Co-Sale Interest bears to the Selling Member's total
interest in the Company, at the
purchase price and on the other terms and conditions specified in the
Co-Sale Notice. If the prospective purchaser will not purchase all of the
interest in the Company that the Selling Member and the Electing Co-Sale
Offerees wish to sell pursuant to this paragraph 16(d), then each of the
Selling Member and the Electing Co-Sale Offerees shall be entitled to sell
to such prospective purchaser its pro rata portion of the total interest in
the Company that the prospective purchaser desires to purchase in
proportion to its Percentage Interest in the Company.
(iii) Updates to Co-Sale Notice. The Selling Member shall update
the Co-Sale Notice by promptly providing to each Co-Sale Offeree with
notice of any material changes to the information contained therein,
including changes to the amount of interest in the Company the prospective
purchaser is willing to purchase and any of the definitive documentation
originally provided along with the Co-Sale Notice. Upon receipt of each
such updated notice, (i) each Electing Co-Sale Offeree shall have the right
to withdraw such Electing Co-Sale Offeree's election to participate and
(ii) each Co-Sale Offeree that did not elect to exercise its Co-Sale Right
shall have the right to elect to participate, in each case by delivery of
written notice to that effect to the Selling Member within five (5)
Business Days after the date such updated notice is received.
(iv) Sale to Prospective Purchaser. Upon compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph 16(e), the Selling Member and each Electing
Co-Sale Offeree shall sell to the prospective purchaser all of the interest
in the Company proposed to be sold by them at a price equal or greater and
upon terms and conditions not more favorable in the aggregate to the
prospective purchaser than those contained in the Co-Sale Notice (or the
final update thereof pursuant to subparagraph 16(e)(iii)).
(f) Drag-Along Right.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement but subject to paragraph 16(c) and (d), if, at any time and from time
to time after the fifteenth month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, an
Initial Member holding at least a 51% interest in the Company, individually or
in a group with other Members, wishes to sell in a bona fide arms' length sale
(the "Proposed Sale") an aggregate of at least a 51% interest in the Company to
a third party other than a Permitted Transferee (the "Proposed Purchasers"),
such Initial Member (the "DAR Selling Member") shall have the right (the
"Drag-Along Right") to require each other Member to sell to the Proposed
Purchasers the same proportion of its interest in the Company as is being sold
by the DAR Selling Member at the same price and on the same terms. Each Member
agrees to take all steps necessary to enable him or it to comply with the
provisions of this paragraph 16(f).
(ii) To exercise a Drag-Along Right, the DAR Selling Member shall
give written notice to each other Member of its intention to sell its interest,
to exercise its Drag-Along Right and of the terms and conditions of the proposed
sale, including the consideration offered and the date upon which the sale is
proposed to be made (the "Drag-Along Notice"). Thereafter, each other Member
shall be obligated to sell its interest subject to such Drag-Along Notice,
provided, that the sale to the Proposed Purchasers is consummated at a price
equal or greater and on terms and conditions no more favorable in the aggregate
to the Proposed Purchaser than those set forth in the Drag-Along Notice and
within ninety (90) days of delivery of the Drag-Along Notice. If the sale is not
consummated within such 90-day period, then each Member shall no longer be
obligated to sell such Member's interests pursuant to that specific Drag-Along
Right but shall remain subject to the provisions of this paragraph 16(f).
(g) Preemptive Right. If the Company proposes to issue any equity
interest in the Company or any securities convertible into such interest
("Preempted Interest"), the Company shall first give to the Initial Members
written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the consideration and other
terms on which such Preempted Interest is proposed to be sold and the amount
thereof proposed to be issued or sold. Each Initial Member shall thereafter have
the preemptive right, exercisable by written notice to the Company no later than
fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company's notice is given, to subscribe to
such issuance in proportion to its relative Percentage Interest in the Company
prior to such issuance, at the price and on the other terms set forth in the
Company's notice. During the one hundred twenty (120) days following the
expiration of the 15 Business Day period, the Company shall be entitled to sell
any portion of the Preempted Interest which the Initial Members have not elected
to purchase at a price equal to or greater than and on terms and conditions no
more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers thereof than those offered to
the Members.
(h) No Waiver. The exercise or non-exercise by any Member of its
rights pursuant to this Section 16 with respect to any particular proposed
Transfer or issuance of equity interest shall be without prejudice to its rights
under this Section 16 with respect to any future proposed Transfer or issuance
of equity interest.
17. Additional Members. All transferees of interest in the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be admitted as Members. Any

Conversion"), whether by means of conversion, merger, formation or acquisition
by the Company of a corporation created to facilitate the IPO Plan or
acquisition of the Company by a corporation created to facilitate the IPO Plan
and (ii) the successor company to grant the registration rights set forth in
Section 21 hereof. Each party agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and
record such further certificates, amendments, instruments and documents, and to
do all such other acts and things, as may be required by law or as, in the
reasonable opinion of the Board of Managers, may be necessary or advisable to
carry out the intent and purpose of the IPO Plan.
21. Registration Rights.
(a) Piggyback Registrations. In the event of a registered offering
following the Initial Public Offering, the Company shall notify the Members at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of the registration statement
with the Commission of its intention to do so. Upon the written direction of any
Member, the Company shall include in such registration statement any or all of
the Registrable Securities then held by such Member requesting such registration
as such Member has directed to be registered.
(b) Demand Registrations. (i) At any time after six months after
the closing of the Company's Initial Public Offering, if and whenever the
Company shall receive a written request therefor from an Initial Member (a
"Demand Registration"), the Company agrees to prepare and file promptly, but not
more than thirty (30) days after such request, a registration statement under
the Securities Act covering all, but not less than all, shares of Registrable
Securities which are the subject of such request and agrees to use its best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as
expeditiously as possible and no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after
the filing thereof.
(ii) A request and/or registration shall not constitute a Demand
Registration until the registration statement has become effective and remains
continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all
Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii)
one hundred eighty (180) days; provided, however, that a request and/or
registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such
registration statement has become effective, such registration or the related
offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered
with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable
to the Company or other holders of the securities and such interference is not
thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions to closing specified in the
underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand
Registration are not satisfied or waived. In addition, the applicable Initial
Member shall have the right to withdraw any request for a Demand Registration at
any time prior to the time that the registration statement in respect of such
Demand Registration has become effective (provided that such Demand Registration
shall nonetheless be deemed a request for purposes of this paragraph 21(b)
unless such withdrawal is based on material adverse information relating to the
Company or its condition, business or prospects that is different from that
generally known to the applicable Initial Member at the time of the request).
(iii) The Company shall be obligated to prepare, file and cause to
become effective only two registration statements per Initial Member pursuant to
this paragraph 21(b), excluding registration statements on Form S-3 which shall
not count for purposes of this limitation. The Company shall not be obligated to
effect more than one registration on Form S-3 under this paragraph 21(b) during
any twelve-month period.
(iv) If the Initial Member making a Demand Registration intends to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an
underwriting, such Initial Member agrees to provide the Company with the name of
the managing underwriter or underwriters (the "managing underwriter") that it
proposes to employ. In such event, the right of any Initial Member to
registration pursuant to this paragraph 21(b), shall be conditioned upon such
Initial Member's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Initial Member's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent
requested and to the extent provided herein. All Initial Members proposing to
distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting agree to enter
into (together with the Company) an underwriting agreement with the underwriter
or underwriters selected for such underwriting, in the manner set forth above,
provided that such underwriting agreement is in customary form and is reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the applicable Initial Member.
(c) Priority in Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 21, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten distribution
advises the Company and the Initial Member requesting participation in the
distribution ("Requesting Member") and the other holders of Registrable
Securities participating in a Demand Registration in writing that in its good
faith judgment the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of Registrable
Securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the
marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such
registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii)
second, the Registrable Securities of each Requesting Member, pro rata, in
proportion to its Percentage Interest in the Company, (iii) third, the
Registrable Securities of any other Members, pro rata, in proportion to their
Percentage Interest in the Company, and (iv) fourth, the other securities
requested to be included in such registration. Those Registrable Securities and
other securities which are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
managing underwriter's marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities
not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such
registration and shall be withheld from the market by the holders thereof for a
period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, which the managing
underwriter reasonably determines is necessary to effect the underwritten public
offering.
(d) Registrable Securities. For purposes of this Section 21,
"Registrable Securities" shall mean the securities representing the equity
interests in the successor corporate entity into which membership interests in
the Company shall be convertible following the Corporate Conversion and Initial
Public Offering, and any securities issued successively in exchange for or in
respect of the foregoing equity interest, whether pursuant to a merger or
consolidation, as a result of any successive share split or reclassification of,
or share dividend on, any of the foregoing or otherwise, provided, however, that
such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) a registration
statement registering such securities under the Securities Act has been declared
effective and such securities have been sold or otherwise transferred by the
Member pursuant to such effective registration statement or (ii) such securities
are eligible for resale and freely tradeable without any volume limitation or
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) promulgated under
the Securities Act.
22. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the
expenses, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in
contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the expenses, debts, obligations
and liabilities of the Company, and no Member, Manager or officer of the Company
(including a person having more than one such capacity) shall be personally
liable for any such expense, debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely
by reason of acting in such capacity, except as otherwise provided by the Act.
23. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who is or was a Member,
Manager or officer of the Company (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties,
judgments, suits, costs or expenses of whatever nature (each a "Claim"), as
incurred, arising out of or relating to the performance, or failure to perform,
any act by such person, on behalf of the Company, in the capacity of a Member,
Manager or officer of the Company; provided that such indemnification shall not
apply to any such person if such Claim resulted directly from the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such person.
24. Insurance. The Company shall purchase and maintain insurance, in
such reasonable amount as determined by the Board of Managers from time to time,
on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, whether or not the Company would have the
power to indemnify any such party against such liability under the provisions of
the Act or this Agreement.
25. Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be
wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the unanimous written
consent of the Members, (ii) at any time there are no Members unless the
business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by the Act, or (iii)
the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under ss. 18-802 of the Act.
26. Representation and Warranties.
(a) Each Initial Member represents and warrants to the other
Initial Member that such Member and each of its Affiliates (other PVI and its
subsidiaries (the "PVI Subsidiaries")) does not have any contractual rights
against any of the PVI Subsidiaries ("PVI Rights"), except, (i) with respect to
Holding, its existing intellectual property rights, and (ii) with respect to
Presencia en Medios, S.A. de C.V. ("Presencia"), PiM's parent, (x) its unsecured
rights against Publicidad Virtual, S.A. de C.V. ("Publicidad") pursuant to a
certain guaranty made by Presencia of a $200,000 bank loan to Publicidad by BBV
Bancomer, and (y) its rights against Publicidad with respect to certain loans to
Publicidad by Presencia in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 (the
"Publicidad Loans") that are secured only by Publicidad's receivables, and
Presencia and PiM further represents and warrants to Holding that each loan
referenced in (x) and (y) is fully repayable by Publicidad at any time without
penalty. Each Initial Member
hereby waives any PVI Rights that it may have upon the Company's acquisition of
the PVI Subsidiaries at the time of the Closing.
(b) Presencia represents and warrants to Holding that Presencia
has duly and properly transferred or assigned to PiM all of Presencia's and its
Affiliates' rights, titles and interests in the debt and equity of PVI or any of
the PVI Subsidiaries (together, the "Assigned Presencia Property"), including
the following: (i) certain secured convertible notes dated February 18, 2003,
March 20, 2003 and April 4, 2003, issued by PVI to Presencia in the aggregate

Agreement") and (v) the note purchase and security agreement, dated as of
February 18, 2003, among PVI, Presencia and PVI Holding, as amended (the
"Presencia Security Agreement"), and that, other than such Assigned Presencia
Property, neither Presencia nor any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly
owns or holds any equity or debt interest in PVI or any of the PVI Subsidiaries.
27. Corporate Opportunity. The Members shall not be obligated to offer
to the Company or its subsidiaries any business opportunities of any kind by
reason of such Member's ownership of an interest in the Company or otherwise.
28. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, repealed or
waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and the Initial
Members.
29. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the
Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York
solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of
this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or
proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof or of any
such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or
proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the
venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced
