WHEREAS, the Founding Stockholders and the Stockholder are the owners of shares of the capital stock (“Stock”) of the Corporation.
WHEREAS, the Founding Stockholders and Stockholder believe it to be in their best interests and in the best interests of the Corporation that the transfer of such stock be restricted.
IT IS THEREFORE AGREED:
1. All Shares Subject to Agreement. All shares of Stock at any time held or owned by the Stockholder or by his legal representative shall be subject to this Agreement and to all the obligations and restrictions hereof.
2. Restriction on Transfers. No Stockholder shall voluntarily or involuntarily transfer or encumber any of the shares of Stock at any time held, owned, or hereafter acquired by him, or any interest therein, except in accordance with and subject to this Agreement. When used in this Agreement “transfer” shall mean sell, assign, convey, donate, bequeath, transfer or otherwise dispose (otherwise than by an involuntary transfer) and “encumber” shall mean mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or contract to encumber.
3. Voluntary Transfer. No Stockholder shall voluntarily transfer or encumber any shares of Stock unless such Stockholder obtains the prior written consent of all the Founding Stockholders which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason. No Founding Stockholder shall voluntarily transfer or encumber any shares of Stock unless such Founding Stockholder obtains the prior written consent of all other Founding Stockholders which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason.
4. Right of First Refusal. If a Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) desiring to dispose of a portion of his shares of Stock in the Corporation shall receive a bona fide offer in writing from a financially capable purchaser to purchase all such portion of the Selling Stockholder’s shares of Stock, the Selling Stockholder shall give written notice to the other Stockholders and the Corporation of his intention to make such transfer stating the name and address of the proposed transferee, the number of shares of Stock (the “Offered Stock”) then held or owned by the Selling Stockholder and the price to be paid therefor and the terms of payment.
The Corporation, upon receipt of such notice of transfer, shall have the option (“First Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the offered Stock at the price and upon the terms bona fide offered by the proposed transferee. The First option shall be exercisable within the 15-day period (“First Option Period”) after the date of receipt of such notice and shall be exercised by the sending of a notice to the Selling stockholder with a copy to the Founding Stockholders. In determining whether or not the Corporation shall exercise the First Option, the Selling Stockholder shall vote the Offered Stock as directed by a vote of the Founding Stockholders.
Page 1 of 12 |
In the event the Corporation does not exercise the First Option, then the Founding Stockholders shall have the option, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder within 15 days after the expiration of the First Option Period (the “Second Option Period”), to purchase pro rata, in proportion to their respective holdings of Stock, all, but not less than all, of the Offered Stock at the price and upon the terms bona fide offered by the proposed transferee. In the event any of the Founding Stockholders do not elect to purchase his proportionate share, the other Founding Stockholders who elected to purchase the Offered Stock shall have the option to purchase the shares of Stock which such other Founding Stockholders did not elect to purchase, pro rata, in proportion to their respective holdings of Stock or in any other percentage which they decide.
If the Corporation and the Founding Stockholders elect not to, or fail to, exercise their options to purchase all the Offered Stock, the Selling Stockholder may make the proposed transfer of the Offered Stock to the proposed transferee in accordance with the terms of the bona-fide offer within the 15-day period following the expiration of the Second Option Period. The proposed transferee shall become a party to this Agreement with respect to the Offered stock and shall execute a duplicate of this Agreement. If the proposed transfer of the Offered Stock is not consummated within such 15-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section shall again apply to the Offered Stock.
4. Involuntary Transfers. An “involuntary transfer” shall mean any transaction, proceeding or action by or in which any Stockholder (but not a Founding Stockholder) shall be deprived or divested of any right, title or interest in or to any of his Stock (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, seizure under levy of attachment or execution, transfer in connection with bankruptcy or other court proceeding to a trustee in bankruptcy or receiver, or any transfer to a state or to a public officer or agency pursuant to any statute pertaining to escheat or abandoned property) other than one occasioned by the death or the incompetence or incapacity of a Stockholder.
If there shall be an involuntary transfer of any shares of Stock of any Stockholder to any person:
a. The transferee shall take and hold the shares of Stock subject to this Agreement and to all the obligations and restrictions upon the Stockholder from whom the shares of Stock was acquired, and shall observe and comply with this Agreement and with such obligations and restrictions.
b. The Stockholder from whom said Stock was transferred (the “Transferring Stockholder”), or the transferee, shall forthwith give notice to the Founding Stockholders and Stockholders and the Corporation stating when the involuntary transfer occurred, the reason therefor, the number of shares transferred (the “Transferred Stock”), and the address and capacity of the transferee. The Corporation, upon receipt of such notice of transfer, shall have the option (“First Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transferred Stock and any shares of Stock remaining in the ownership of Transferring Stockholder (the “Remaining Stock”), at a price equal to the net worth (assets less liabilities) at book value per share of Stock (the “Involuntary Transfer Purchase Price”), valued as of the date of the involuntary transfer and determined by the regularly retained accountant of the Corporation. The First Option shall be exercisable within the 15-day period (“First Option Period”) after the date of receipt of such notice and shall be exercised by the sending of notices to the transferee and Transferring Stockholder with a copy to the Founding Stockholders other Stockholders. In determining whether or not the Corporation shall exercise the First Option, the transferee shall vote the Transferred Stock and the Transferring Stockholder shall vote the Remaining Stock as directed by a vote of the Founding Stockholders.
Page 2 of 12 |
In the event the Corporation does not exercise the First Option, the Founding Stockholders shall have the option (“Second Option”), exercisable upon written notice within 15-days after the expiration of the First Option Period (the “Second Option Period”) to purchase, pro rata, in proportion to their respective holdings of Stock, all, but not less than all, of the Transferred Stock and the Remaining Stock at the Involuntary Transfer Purchase Price. In the event any of the Founding Stockholders do not elect to purchase their proportionate share, the other Founding Stockholders who elected to purchase the Transferred Stock and Remaining Stock shall have the option to purchase, pro rata, in proportion to their respective holdings of Stock or in any other percentage which they decide, that portion of the Transferred Stock and Remaining Stock which such other Founding Stockholders elected not to purchase.
c. Payment for the Transferred Stock and Remaining Stock purchased shall be made in five (5) consecutive annual installments. The first installment shall be paid by the Corporation or the purchasing Founding Stockholders, as the case may be, to the transferee and Transferring Stockholder not later than 15- days after the expiration of the Second Option Period. The remaining four (4) installments of the Involuntary Transfer Purchase Price shall be paid, together with interest at the highest U.S. Money Center Commercial prime rate for corporate loans as reported in the Money Rates Section of the Wall Street Journal, New York City edition, adjusted from time to time on a daily basis (“Prime Rate”) on the unpaid balance, and evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Schedule B delivered to the transferee and the Transferring Stockholder by the Corporation or the purchasing Stockholders, as the case may be, contemporaneously with the first installment.
d. If the Corporation and the Founding Stockholders elect not to, or fail to, exercise their options to purchase the Transferred Stock and Remaining Stock, transferee shall become a party to this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Stock and shall execute a duplicate of this Agreement and the Transferring Stockholder shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Remaining Stock in the same manner as if no involuntary transfer had been made.
5. Reserved.
6. Death of a Stockholder.
a. Upon the death of any Founding Stockholder or Stockholder, the estate of the decedent Stockholder shall accept all of the decedent Stockholder’s shares of Stock in the Corporation.
b. Transfer upon the event of the death of a Stockholder is not a “transfer” as used herein and is not restricted.
c. The estate of the decedent shall become a party to this Agreement with respect to the inherited shares and shall execute a duplicate of this Agreement and shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the shares in the same manner as if no transfer had been made.
7. Reserved.
Page 3 of 12 |
8. Purchase Price.
The purchase price per share of Stock to be paid on any purchase pursuant to Section 6 shall be the Agreed Value (as determined in Section 9) or if no Agreed Value has been determined by the Founding Stockholders, the purchase price shall be calculated as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation after consultation with its professional advisors, including attorneys and accountants.
9. Agreed Value. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may at any time fix an agreed value (the “Agreed Value”) of a share of Stock by a Certificate of Agreed Value signed by all the Stockholders in the form of Exhibit D. If at any time when it becomes necessary to determine the value of a share of Stock and a Certificate of Agreed Value is in existence and such Certificate of Agreed Value is dated within one (1) year of the date as of when the value is to be determined, then the Agreed Value set forth in such certificate shall be conclusive as the value and shall be accepted as the value as of the date on which the value shall be required or made for the purposes of Section 8. In no event shall a certificate of agreed value be effective unless signed by all the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time execute a new certificate of agreed value which shall automatically replace all prior certificates of agreed value, and in no event shall any but the last certificate of agreed value be effective, if at all, for the purposes herein specified.
