LOCKUP AGREEMENT
THIS LOCKUP AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as March 15, 2011 (the Effective Date”) by and between Xxxxx X. Boston (the "Shareholder") and Medical Hospitality Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company").
WHEREAS, the Company is undertaking the registration and sale of 6,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Public Offering”);
WHEREAS, the Shareholder holds Twenty Five Thousand shares of common stock of the Company that the Shareholder and the Company have agreed to restrict pursuant to this Agreement (the "Lock Up Securities") in addition to Five Thousand shares of common stock that is not to be subject to this Agreement or any other contractual restrictions on their sale or disposition (the “Unrestricted Stock”);
WHEREAS, the Company believes it is in the best interest of its shareholders to establish an orderly trading market for shares of the Company's common stock; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Shareholder to refrain from selling Securities held by the Shareholder except as provided under this Agreement to encourage orderly trading in shares of the Company's common stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for an orderly trading market for shares of the Company's common stock, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
LOCKUP OF SECURITIES. Shareholder agrees that from the Effective Date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Public Offering or (ii) twenty seven months from the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Lock Up Period”), the Shareholder will not make or cause any sale of any of the Lock Up Securities the Shareholder owns, either of record or beneficially, and of which the Shareholder has the power to control the disposition except as described in the paragraph describing the release provisions below. However, during the Lock Up Period and thereafter, Shareholder will be free to sell any or all of the Unrestricted Stock owned or controlled by Shareholder, subject only to applicable laws and regulations on sale or transfer including, but not limited to, Rule 144. Additionally, during the Lock Up Period the Company will not pay any dividends on the Lock Up Securities.
2.
RELEASE OF LOCKUP RESTRICTIONS. If the Company completes the sale of One Million Shares of its common stock in the Public Offering (the “Share Sales Threshold”) the lockup provisions of this Agreement will be released as follows:
(a) Within ten (10) business days of the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter in which the Share Sales Threshold is met a calculation, as described in paragraph 2(b) below, shall be made by the Shareholder and the Company to determine how many, if any, of the Lockup Securities will be released based on sales of the Public Offering through that date
(b) For each Two Hundred (200) shares of common stock sold in the Public Offering above the Share Sales Threshold in effect at the end of a calendar quarter, the lockup restrictions shall be removed from One (1) share of Lockup Securities. Each calendar
quarter after the initial Share Sales Threshold of One Million Shares is met, the Share Sales Threshold shall be increased by the number of shares sold since the previous calculation so that the Share Sales Threshold will represent the cumulative number of shares of the Public Offering sold prior to the current calendar quarter for which the calculation is being made.
(c) Within Five (5) business days of the completion of the above calculation each quarter the Company will notify its Transfer Agent in writing, and send a copy of such notification to Shareholder, as to the number of Lockup Securities, if any, that are to be released and thereby cause the lockup restrictions placed on the Lockup Securities that are to be released to be removed such that the Shareholder will thereafter be free of contractual restrictions on the sale or other disposition of the released shares. However, the shares will continue to be subject to applicable laws and regulations on sale or transfer, including, but not limited to, Rule 144.
(d) At the end of the Lock Up Period, a final calculation using the formula in Section 2(b) above shall be made and any Lockup Securities that are subject to release of lockup restrictions shall be released, and the Company will have the right, upon written notice to Shareholder, to redeem any Lock Up Securities that have not been released for One Dollar ($1.00) per share payable in cash to Shareholder within Five (5) business days of receipt by Shareholder of the redemption notice.
