until delivered pursuant to the terms of such Escrow Agreement. Shares of the
Stock which are subject to the Purchase Option shall not be transferable by the
Purchaser.
4. Restriction on Transfer: Rights of First Refusal.
4.1 Rights of First Refusal. Before any shares of Stock
registered in the name of Purchaser may be sold or transferred (including
transfer by operation of law other than as excepted pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof), Purchaser must first obtain the written consent of the Company. If such
written consent is not given, then the Company or, if the Company desires, the
other shareholders of the Company, shall have a right of first refusal to
purchase such shares for the same price and on the same terms and conditions
offered to such prospective purchaser, in accordance with the procedures set
forth below (the "Rights of First Refusal").
If the proposed price per share is to be other than in cash,
then an equivalent cash value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company. If a transfer other than a voluntary sale is proposed
to be made, then the price per share for purposes of the Rights of First Refusal
shall be determined by the mutual agreement of Purchaser and the Company or, if
no agreement can be reached, the price shall be the fair market value of such
shares, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
Prior to any sale or transfer of any shares of the Stock,
Purchaser, or the legal representative of Purchaser, shall promptly deliver to
the Secretary of the Company a written notice of the price and other terms and
conditions of the offer by the prospective purchaser, the identity of the
prospective purchaser, and, in the case of a sale, Purchaser's bona fide
intention to sell or dispose of such shares together with a copy of a written
agreement between Purchaser and the prospective purchaser conditioned only upon
the satisfaction of the procedures set forth in these Rights of First Refusal.
If the Company does not give its written consent to such transfer, then the
Company (or its assignees) shall, for thirty (30) days after such notice from
Purchaser, have the right under this Section 4 to purchase some or all such
shares, as set forth herein. After the expiration of the Rights of First
Refusal, or upon the written consent of the Company to the proposed transfer,
Purchaser may sell or transfer the shares specified in the notice to the
Company, on the terms and conditions specified in such notice; provided,
however, that the sale must be consummated within three (3) months after the
date of the notice and that all shares sold or transferred shall remain subject
to the provisions and restrictions of this Agreement and shall carry a legend to
that effect.
If the Rights of First Refusal under this Section 4 are not
exercised but Purchaser fails to consummate such sale on the same terms and
conditions as set forth
-3-
4
in the notice to the Company within three (3) months after the date of the
notice, then such Rights of First Refusal shall be reinstated.
4.2 Termination: Exceptions. The provisions of this Section
4 shall terminate on the closing date of an underwritten public offering of
Common Stock of the Company. The provisions of Section 4.1 shall not apply to a
transfer of any shares of Stock by Purchaser, either during his lifetime or on
death to his ancestors, descendants or spouse, or any custodian or trustee for
the account of Purchaser or Purchaser's ancestors, descendants or spouse;
provided, in each such case a transferee shall receive and hold such shares
subject to the provisions and restrictions on transfer of this Agreement and
there shall be no further transfer of such shares except in accordance herewith.
4.3 Effect of Transfers Not in Compliance. The Company
shall not be required to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of the
Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement or the Security Agreement, or to treat as
owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay
dividends to, any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.
5. Stock Splits. etc. If, from time to time during the
term of the Purchase Option or Rights of First Refusal as provided in Sections 3
and 4 hereof, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the
character or amount of any of the outstanding securities of the Company or if
there is any consolidation, merger or sale of all, or substantially all, of the
assets of the Company, then in such event any and all new, substituted or
additional securities to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of his ownership
of Stock shall be immediately subject to the Purchase Option and Rights of First
Refusal and be included in the term "Stock" for all purposes of this Agreement
with the same force and effect as the shares of Stock presently subject to this
Agreement.
6. Legends. All certificates representing any shares of
Stock of the Company subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have
endorsed thereon substantially the following legends:
(a) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON AND OBLIGATIONS WITH
RESPECT TO TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AND RIGHTS OF
FIRST REFUSAL AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY
AND THE ORIGINAL REGISTERED HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE
AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY."
-4-
5
(b) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
(c) Any legend required under applicable state
securities laws.
7. Investment Intent: Covenant. In purchasing the Stock,
Purchaser represents to the Company as follows:
(a) Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the
business prospects and business plan of the Company with the officers and
directors of the Company. Purchaser has a preexisting personal or business
relationship with the Company or one of its officers, directors or controlling
persons and/or by reason of his business or financial experience he has the
capacity to protect his own interests in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Stock is
highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk, and represents and
warrants that he is able, without impairing his financial condition, to hold the
Stock for an indefinite period of time and suffer a complete loss of his
investment therein.
(b) Purchaser is acquiring the Stock for investment
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of said
Stock or with any present intention of distributing or selling said Stock and he
does not presently have reason to anticipate any change in circumstances or any
particular occasion or event which would cause him to sell said Stock. Purchaser
understands that the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (the "Act") and may not be sold or otherwise disposed of
except pursuant to an effective Registration Statement filed under the Act or
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the
Stock under the Act on his behalf. Purchaser represents and warrants that he
understands that the Stock constitutes restricted securities within the meaning
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; that the exemption from registration
under Rule 144 will not be available in any event for at least two years from
the date of purchase and payment for the Stock, and even then will not be
available unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with and will
be subject to the limitations on amount set forth therein.
(c) Without limiting the representations and
warranties set forth above, Purchaser agrees he will not make any transfer of
all or any part of the Stock
-5-
6
unless (i) there is a Registration Statement under the Act in effect with
respect to such transfer and such transfer is made in accordance therewith, or
(ii) Purchaser has furnished the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company and its counsel to the effect that such transfer will not require
registration under the Act. Purchaser agrees that, prior to the closing of the
Company's initial public offering registered under the Act, he will not transfer
any of such securities in a public offering without the Company's prior consent,
even if he is otherwise permitted to transfer them pursuant to Rule 144(k) under
the Act.
8. Lock-up Agreement. In the event the Company sells any of
its securities in an underwritten initial public offering pursuant to a
registration filed pursuant to the Act, and in connection with each registered
offering under the Act within three (3) years of such initial offering,
Purchaser agrees (but only if each officer and director of the Company also
agrees), upon request from the Company or the managing underwriter of such
initial or other public offering, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan,
grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, any of the Stock,
without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the
case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120)
days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company or the
underwriter may specify. Purchaser further agrees that the Company may place
stop-transfer notations with the transfer agent of the Stock to enforce this
provision.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such
further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be
necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, if applicable,
execution of the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit E.
9.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits,
is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings of the parties.
9.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery
or upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified
mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to Purchaser at his address shown

principal corporate offices (attention: President) or at such other address as
such party may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other

assigns.
