6.5.2 The Purchaser has not been attracted to the purchase of the
Initial Shares by any publication or any advertising, and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not being effected
by or through a broker-dealer.
6.5.3 The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, as
presently in effect.
6.5.4 The Purchaser understands that (i) neither the Initial
Shares nor the sale thereof to it has been registered under the
Securities Act, or under any state securities law, (ii) no
registration statement has been filed with the SEC, nor with any
other regulatory authority and that, as a result, any benefit
which might normally accrue to an investor such as the Purchaser
by an impartial review of such a registration statement by the SEC
or other regulatory commission will not
8
be forthcoming; and (iii) the Initial Shares are characterized as
"restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch
as they are being acquired from the Selling Shareholders, who
acquired the Initial Shares from the Company in a transaction not
involving a public offering, and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without
registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that
it is familiar with the SEC's Rule 144, as presently in effect,
and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act.
6.5.5 The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) it is represented by
counsel, (ii) it has received and carefully reviewed a copy of the
Offering Memorandum and this Agreement; (iii) it has received all
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Initial Shares; (iv) as a result of its
knowledge of the telecommunications industry, its study of the
aforementioned documents and its prior overall experience in
financial matters, it is property able to evaluate the capital
structure of the Company, the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and the risks inherent therein; and (v) it has been
given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or
documents from, and to ask questions and receive answers of, the
officers and representatives of the Company to the extent
necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to its
investment in the Company.
7. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The Initial Shares are not transferable except upon
the conditions specified in this SECTION 7, which conditions are intended to
assure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and state securities
laws in respect of the transfer of any of such Initial Shares.
7.1 RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. Unless and until otherwise permitted
by this Agreement, the Initial Shares issued or transferred to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends
in substantially the following forms:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THUS MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED
OR QUALIFIED UNDER THAT ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS AVAILABLE."
"SUCH SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER CONTAINED IN A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER
__, 1998, BY AND AMONG COMMUNICATION TELESYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL D.B.A.
WORLDXCHANGE COMMUNICATIONS, ATOCHA, L.P., XXXXX X. XXXXXX, XXXXXXXX
XXXXXX AND XXXXXX X. XXXXX, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY."
9
The Company may order its transfer agents to stop the transfer of any Initial
Shares bearing a legend required by this SECTION 7.1 until the conditions herein
with respect to transfer of such securities have been satisfied.
7.2 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFERS. Subject to SECTION 7.1, prior
to any transfer or attempted transfer of the Initial Shares bearing the legend
in SECTION 7.1, the Purchaser or its permitted assignee, transferee or donee
(the "Holder") shall give the Company written notice of its intention to do so,
describing briefly the nature of any such proposed transfer. If, in the written
opinion of counsel for Holder, addressed to the Company and the Holder, in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, the proposed transfer may be
effected without registration of such Initial Shares, the Initial Shares
proposed to be transferred may be transferred in accordance with the terms of
said notice and in compliance with applicable state securities laws and
regulations. The Company shall not be required to effect any such transfer prior
to the receipt of such favorable opinion; provided that if the proposed transfer
is governed by Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, or any successor rule, such
opinion shall not be required, but the Company may prevent such transfer until
it receives evidence satisfactory to it and its counsel that the transfer
complies with Rule 144. Each transfer shall comply with all applicable SEC rules
and applicable state securities laws.
7.3 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may transfer Initial Shares to any
Affiliate of Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1 and 7.2;
provided that the transferee shall hold such Initial Shares subject to the same
restrictions applicable to its transferor and shall agree in writing to be bound
by the terms of this Agreement.
8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
8.1 RESTRICTIONS. For a period of three years from the date of
this Agreement, the Company shall not: (i) issue any Equity Securities to the
Shareholders or immediate family members of the Shareholders, except that the
Company may issue 883,069 shares of Stock to the Shareholders in connection with
the sale of the Shareholders' stock in WorldxChange Limited, a New Zealand
corporation, to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) increase the
salary, bonuses, options or payments through consulting agreements or otherwise
(the "Compensation") payable to the Shareholders beyond that set forth in
SCHEDULE 8.1, (iii) increase the Compensation of immediate family members of the
Shareholders other than in amounts consistent with past practices for non-family
members or (iv) engage in any other transactions with immediate family member
employees, except as permitted in subsection (iii). During the third year from
the date of this Agreement, if the Company has not completed an initial public
offering of its securities, the Compensation payable to each Shareholder shall
not exceed 200% of the total Compensation paid to such Shareholder during the
second year after the date of this Agreement.
8.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
8.3 RULE 144 FILING. After the Company's Common Stock is
registered under the Exchange Act, and until the Initial Shares held by
Purchaser have all been publicly sold or are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act, the Company shall use best
10
efforts to file the reports required under Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities
Act in order to permit sales of the Initial Shares by Purchaser pursuant to Rule
144.
8.4 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. Purchaser shall have the right to
subscribe to any additional (i) issuances of shares of capital stock of the
Company, (ii) issuances of securities convertible into shares of capital
stock of the Company, or (iii) grants of options to purchase shares of
capital stock of the Company, other than grants to employees, directors or
consultants of the Company (and the issuance of shares upon exercise of such
options), for cash, on the same terms of such offerings to the extent equal
to the proportion which the number of Initial Shares then held by Purchaser
bears to the Company's fully-diluted capitalization (on an as-converted and
as-exercised basis). Such right is exercisable within ten (10) days after the
receipt of written notice relating to such issuances by the Purchaser. Such
right extends to the same proportion of the new issue of shares, convertible
securities or options as the Purchaser's proportion of the outstanding
shares. Purchaser's right to purchase new issues of shares or convertible
securities or options does not extend to (i) the issuance of shares upon the
conversion or exercise of options or other convertible securities either (A)
outstanding on the date hereof or (B) with respect to which options or other
convertible securities Purchaser had preemptive rights under this Section
8.4, or (ii) securities issued solely in exchange for shares, convertible
securities or options issued in connection with any merger, reorganization or
acquisition (including, without limitation, the proposed transactions
described in Section 8.7 below). The preemptive rights held by the Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall terminate immediately prior to the closing
of an initial public offering of the Company's securities and shall not apply
to any issuance of securities in such offering.
8.5 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company and Purchaser,
concurrently with the Closing, shall execute and deliver a Registration Rights
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.
8.6 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. For as long as Purchaser and Gold,
collectively, own five percent or more of the issued and outstanding Stock, the
Company agrees to deliver to Purchaser (i) unaudited quarterly financial
statements within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company
and (ii) audited annual financial statements within 150 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company.
8.7 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all Losses of the
Purchaser based upon or arising from any inaccuracy in or breach or
nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, or covenants made or
obligations undertaken by the Company in this Agreement.
9.2 OBLIGATIONS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS. Each Shareholder agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all Losses of
the Purchaser based upon or arising from any inaccuracy in or breach or
nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, or covenants made by
such Shareholder in this Agreement.
11
9.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER. The Purchaser agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company from and against any and all
Losses of the Company based upon or arising from, any inaccuracy in or breach
or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made
by the Purchaser in this Agreement and (ii) each Shareholder from and against
any and all Losses of such Shareholder based upon or arising from, any
inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations,
warranties or covenants made by the Purchaser in this Agreement.
9.4 PROCEDURE.
9.4.1 NOTICE. Any party seeking indemnification with respect to
any Loss shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnity hereunder (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY").
9.4.2 DEFENSE. If any claim, demand or liability is asserted by
any third party against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall upon the written request of the Indemnified Party,
defend any actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnified
Party in respect of matters embraced by the indemnity. If, after
a request to defend any action or proceeding, the Indemnifying
Party does not defend the Indemnified Party, a recovery against
the latter suffered by it in good faith, is conclusive in its
favor against the Indemnifying Party, provided however that, if
the Indemnifying Party has not received reasonable notice of the
action or proceeding against the Indemnified Party, or is not
allowed to control its defense, judgment against the Indemnified
Party is only presumptive evidence against the Indemnifying Party.
The parties shall cooperate in the defense of all third party
claims which may give rise to Indemnifiable Claims hereunder. In
connection with the defense of any claim, each party shall make
available to the party controlling such defense, any books,
records or other documents within its control that are reasonably
requested in the course of such defense.
9.5 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. This Section 9 shall be the exclusive
remedy of the parties for any Loss of such party based upon or arising from any
inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations,
warranties, or covenants made by any other party to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to the remedy of
specific performance with respect to Sections 3.1, 8.3, 8.4, 8.6 and 10.
10. CO-SALE RIGHT.
10.1 CO-SALE PROCEDURE. If any of the Shareholders desire to sell,
assign or otherwise transfer any Stock owned by such Shareholder (except for a
sale, assignment or transfer to a family member of such Shareholder, provided
(i) that the shares of Stock so transferred shall thereafter remain subject to
this SECTION 10 as though the transferee were a Shareholder and (ii) the
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this SECTION 10), then such
Shareholder (collectively with any other selling Shareholder, the "SELLING
SHAREHOLDER") shall first give written notice (the "CO-SALE NOTICE") to the
Purchaser specifying the following: (i) the name and address of the proposed
purchaser (the "OFFEROR"); (ii) the number of shares of Stock offered for sale
to the Offeror by the Selling Shareholder (the "OFFERED SHARES"); the price or
12
amount per share of Stock to be paid (and other consideration, if any) or
delivered to the Selling Shareholder for the Offered Shares; and (iv) all
other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale. Within five
business days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, the Purchaser may elect by
written notice to the Selling Shareholder to sell to the Offeror a number of
shares of Stock not to exceed the product of (i) a fraction where the
numerator is the Offered Shares and the denominator is the total number of
shares of Stock (including the Offered Shares) then held by the Shareholders,
multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Stock then owned by the Purchaser;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchaser shall have the right, which right may be
exercised by the Purchaser one time only, to sell to the Offeror a number of
shares of Stock equal to double the number of shares allowed to be sold
(before application of this proviso) by the Purchaser pursuant to this
SECTION 10.1.
10.2 LIMITATION ON CO-SALE RIGHT. If the Offeror does not wish
to purchase the full amount of Available Shares, then the Purchaser shall be
entitled to sell to the Offeror a number of shares of Stock not to exceed the
product of (i) a fraction where the numerator is the number of shares of Stock
offered for sale by the Purchaser pursuant to SECTION 10.1 and the denominator
is the number of Available Shares, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares
of Stock which the Offeror is willing to purchase from the Selling Shareholder,
the Purchaser and Gold. SCHEDULE 10.2 provides a sample calculation of the
application of SECTION 10.1 and SECTION 10.2. The co-sale rights set forth in
SECTIONS 10. 1 and 10.2 shall terminate upon such time as the Initial Shares
then held by the Purchaser (i) may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act
and the disposition of all such Initial Shares and Remaining Shares may be
completed within six (6) months and (ii) are listed on a securities exchange or
qualified for trading on an over-the-counter system selected by the Company.
11. GENERAL.
11.1 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement and any schedule
attached hereto may be amended only by agreement in writing of all parties. No
waiver of any provision nor consent to any exception to the terms of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be

11.2 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Except as set
forth in the following sentence, all representations and warranties of the
Company, each Shareholder and the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or
expressly incorporated herein by reference shall, as of the first anniversary of
the date of this Agreement, expire and terminate and be of no further force or
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 4.7 (Accuracy of Information) shall survive until the
thirtieth day following delivery by the Company to the Purchaser of audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, and (ii) the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 shall
survive indefinitely. As of the termination of the respective representations,
warranties and covenants as provided for this Agreement, the Company, each
Shareholder and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived and
released any and all rights and remedies any of them may have with respect to
any inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations,
warranties, or covenants made by any party to this Agreement.
13
