3. TRANSFER OF STOCK
(a) RESALE OF SECURITIES. No Investor shall Transfer any Shares
other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3. Any Transfer or
purported Transfer made in violation of this Section 3 shall be null and void
and of no effect.
(b) RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
(i) LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER. No Investor shall Transfer any of
the Shares Owned by him unless the Investor desiring to make the Transfer
(hereinafter referred to as the "Transferor") shall have first made the offers
to sell to the Company and then to the other Investors as contemplated by this
Section 3(b), and such offers shall not have been accepted.
(ii) OFFER BY TRANSFEROR. Copies of the Transferor's offer
shall be given to the Company and the other Investors and shall consist of an
offer to sell to the Company or, failing its election to purchase, then to the
other Investors, all of the Shares then proposed to be transferred by the
Transferor (the "Subject Shares") pursuant to a bona fide offer of a third
party, to which copies shall be attached a statement of intention to Transfer to
such third party, the name and address of the prospective third party
transferee, the number of Subject Shares involved in the proposed Transfer, and
the terms and conditions of such Transfer.
(iii) ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER.
(A) Within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the offer
described in Section 3(b)(ii), the Company may, at its option, elect
to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Subject Shares. The
Company shall give notice of its intention to
-3-
exercise, or that it does not intend to exercise its option
hereunder, to the Transferor and to each other Investor within such
20-day period.
(B) In the event that the Company does not exercise its option
to purchase the Subject Shares within such 20-day period, the
Transferor shall so notify the other Investors in writing and the
other Investors may purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Subject Shares by giving notice thereof to the Transferor and to the
Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice from the
Company or the Transferor to the effect that the Company will not
exercise its option to purchase. The other Investors shall purchase
the Subject Shares pro rata among themselves (based on the number of
shares of Common Stock Owned by each such Investor) or as they shall
otherwise agree upon among themselves.
(C) Each party that elects to purchase Subject Shares pursuant
to this Section 3(b) is referred to herein individually as a
"Purchaser" and collectively as the "Purchasers."
(iv) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share for the
Subject Shares shall be the price per share offered to be paid by the
prospective transferee described in the offer, which price shall be paid in cash
or, if so provided in the offer of the prospective transferee, cash plus
deferred payments of cash in the same proportions, and with the same terms of
deferred payment as therein set forth.
(v) CONSIDERATION OTHER THAN CASH. If the offer of Subject
Shares under this Section 3(b) is for consideration other than cash or cash plus
deferred payments of cash, the Purchaser(s) shall pay the cash equivalent of
such other consideration. If the Transferor and the Purchaser(s) cannot agree on
the amount of such cash equivalent within ten (10) days after the expiration of
the applicable period described above, any of such parties may, upon three (3)
days' written notice to the other, initiate appraisal proceedings under Section
3(b)(vi) for determination of the cash equivalent. Any Purchaser may give
written notice to the Transferor revoking an election to purchase the Subject
Shares within ten (10) days after determination of the appraised value, if it
chooses not to purchase the Subject Shares, and the Subject Shares to be
purchased by such Purchaser shall be reallocated among the other Purchasers
according to the relative percentages of the Subject Shares to be purchased by
each such Purchaser.
(vi) APPRAISAL PROCEDURE. If any party shall initiate an
appraisal procedure to determine the amount of the cash equivalent of any
consideration for Subject Shares under Section 3(b)(v), then the Transferor, on
the one hand, and the Purchaser(s), on the other hand, shall each promptly
appoint as an appraiser an individual who shall be a member of a
nationally-recognized investment banking firm. Each appraiser shall, within
thirty (30) days of appointment, separately investigate the value of the
consideration for the Subject Shares as of the proposed transfer date and shall
submit a notice of an appraisal of that value on a per share basis to each
party. Each appraiser shall be instructed to determine such value without regard
to income tax consequences to the Transferor as a result of receiving cash
rather than other consideration. If the appraised values of such consideration
(the "Earlier Appraisals") vary by less than ten percent (10%), the average of
the two appraisals on a per share basis shall be controlling as the amount of
the cash equivalent. If the appraised values vary by more than ten
-4-
percent (10%), the appraisers, within ten (10) days of the submission of the
last appraisal, shall appoint a third appraiser who shall be member of a
nationally recognized investment banking firm. The third appraiser shall, within
thirty (30) days of his appointment, appraise the value of the consideration for
the Subject Shares (without regard to the income tax consequences to the
Transferor as a result of receiving cash rather than other consideration) as of
the proposed transfer date and submit notice of his appraisal on a per share
basis to each party. The value determined by the third appraiser shall be
controlling as the amount of the cash equivalent unless the value is greater
than the two Earlier Appraisals, in which case the higher of the two Earlier
Appraisals will control, and unless that value is lower than the two Earlier
Appraisals, in which case the lower of the two Earlier Appraisals will control.
If any party fails to appoint an appraiser or if one of the two initial
appraisers fails after appointment to submit his appraisal within the required
period, the appraisal submitted by the remaining appraiser shall be controlling.
The Transferor and the Purchaser(s) shall each bear the cost of its respective
appointed appraiser. The cost of the third appraisal shall be shared one-half by
the Transferor and one-half by the Purchaser(s).
(vii) CLOSING OF PURCHASE. The closing of the purchase shall
take place at the office of the Company or such other location as shall be
mutually agreeable within 30 days after the expiration of the applicable period,
or within 15 days after determination by appraisal pursuant to Section 3(b)(vi),
whichever is later, and the purchase price, to the extent comprised of cash,
shall be paid at the closing, and cash equivalents and documents evidencing any
deferred payments of cash permitted pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv) above shall be
delivered at the closing. At the closing, the Transferor shall deliver to the
Purchaser the certificates evidencing the Subject Shares to be conveyed, duly
endorsed and in negotiable form with all the requisite documentary stamps
affixed thereto.
(viii) RELEASE FROM RESTRICTION; TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. If the
offer to sell is neither accepted by the Company nor fully accepted by the other
Investors within the time periods described above, the Transferor may make a
bona fide Transfer to the prospective transferee named in the statement attached
to the offer in accordance with the agreed upon terms of such Transfer, PROVIDED
that (A) such Transfer shall be made only in strict accordance with the terms
therein stated and (B) the transferee agrees, in writing, to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement by which the Transferor was bound. If the
Transferor shall fail to make such Transfer within sixty (60) days following the
expiration of the time hereinabove provided for the election by the
Institutional Investors or, in the event the Purchaser revokes an election to
purchase the Subject Shares pursuant to Section 3(b)(v), within sixty (60) days
of the date of such notice of revocation, such Shares shall again become subject
to all the restrictions of this Section 3.
(ix) LIMITATIONS. The provisions of this Section 3 shall not
apply to Transfers to Permitted Transferees or to the Company.
(c) SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT.
(i) If at any time after the date hereof, the Company proposes
to issue equity securities of any kind (the term "equity securities" shall
include for these purposes any warrants, options or other rights to acquire
equity securities and debt securities convertible into
-5-
equity securities) of the Company (other than the issuance of securities (i)
upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Stock pursuant to the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) to the public in a firm
commitment underwriting pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to the acquisition of another Person by the
Company, whether by purchase of stock, merger, consolidation, purchase of all or
substantially all of the assets of such Person or otherwise, (iv) pursuant to an
employee stock option plan, stock bonus plan, stock purchase plan or other
management equity program or (v) to vendors, customers and consultants to the
Company), then, as to each Investor who then Owns in excess of one percent (1%)
of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall:
(A) give written notice setting forth in reasonable detail (1)
the designation and all of the terms and provisions of the
securities proposed to be issued (the "Proposed Securities"),
including, where applicable, the voting powers, preferences and
relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the
qualification, limitations or restrictions thereof and interest rate
and maturity; (2) the price and other terms of the proposed sale of
such securities; (3) the amount of such securities proposed to be
issued; and (4) such other information as the Investors may
reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed issuance; and
(B) offer to issue to each such Investor a portion of the
Proposed Securities equal to a percentage determined by dividing (x)
the number of shares of Common Stock Owned by such Investor, by (y)
the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
(ii) Each such Investor must exercise its purchase rights
hereunder within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from the
Company. If all of the Proposed Securities offered to such Investors are not
fully subscribed by such Investors, the remaining Proposed Securities will be
reoffered to the Investors purchasing their full allotment upon the terms set
forth in this Section 3(c), until all such remaining Proposed Securities are
fully subscribed for or until all such Investors have subscribed for all such
Proposed Securities which they desire to purchase, except that such Investors
must exercise their purchase rights within five business days after receipt of
all such reoffers. To the extent that the Company offers two or more securities
in units, Investors must purchase such units as a whole and will not be given
the opportunity to purchase only one of the securities making up such unit. The
closing of the issuance of Proposed Securities pursuant to this Section 3(c)
shall take place no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Proposed
Securities are fully subscribed or the Investors have subscribed for all
Proposed Securities which they desire to purchase.
(iii) Upon the expiration of the offering periods described
above, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the
Investors have not elected to purchase during the ninety (90) days following
such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers
thereof than those offered to such holders. Any Proposed Securities offered or
sold by the Company after such 90 day period must be reoffered to the Investors
pursuant to this Section 3(c).
-6-
(iv) The election by an Investor not to exercise its
subscription rights under this Section 3(c) in any one instance shall not affect
its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its percentage holdings) as
to any subsequent proposed issuance. Any sale of such securities by the Company
without first giving the Investors the rights described in this Section 3(c)
shall be void and of no force and effect.
(d) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The Company and the Investors hereby declare
that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the
parties hereto by reason of the failure of any Investor to perform any of its
obligations set forth in this Section 3. Therefore, the Company and the
Investors shall have the right to specific performance of such obligations, and
if any party hereto shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the
provisions hereof, each of the Company and the Investors hereby waives the claim
or defense that the party instituting such action or proceeding has an adequate
remedy at law.
