RECITALS
This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts and circumstances:
A. Seller is a physician licensed in the State of California and the record owner of four thousand (4,000) shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of Company, representing one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company.
B. Purchaser is a physician licensed in the State of California.
C. PMS is the manager of Company pursuant to a long term management agreement and was the holder of an option to buy the Shares of Company.
D. PMS assigned the option to Purchaser so that Purchaser, as a duly licensed physician, could serve as the nominee shareholder of Company.
E. Purchaser exercised the option to purchase the Shares and desires to effectuate the transfer of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
F. As a result of Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares, Purchaser will hold all the issued and outstanding shares of Company.
G. Seller desires to sell the Shares to Purchaser and Purchaser desires to purchase the Shares from Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK
1.1 The Shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, convey, transfer, and deliver to Purchaser all right, title, and interest in and to the Shares.
2. PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Consideration for the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in full consideration of the sale and issuance of the Shares, Purchaser shall receive One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) as payment (the “Purchase Price”) on the Closing
Date for the Shares. PMS shall advance the Purchase Price to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s payment to Seller of such Purchase Price.
3. TRANSFER OF SHARES
3.1 Transfer. In order to effectuate the transfer of record title to the Shares to Purchaser, on the Closing Date, Seller shall issue to Purchaser all stock certificates representing the Shares, with a stock power duly endorsed for transfer (“Stock Power”), along with any other documents reasonably requested by Purchaser to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that that the stock certificate representing the Shares is currently in the possession of the Company’s lender (“Lender”) as evidence of the pledge of the Shares as collateral for the Company’s loan pursuant to the terms of that First Lien Pledge Agreement and the Second Lien Pledge Agreement, copies of which have been previously delivered to Purchaser (the “Pledge Agreements”). Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares will continue to be collateral for the Company’s loan (which is also the loan for the Company’s affiliates) after the purchase hereunder. As a result, on the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver the Stock Power duly endorsed in blank and the Company and PMS, shall work with Lender to obtain a return of the original stock certificate for the Shares so that such stock certificate can be cancelled and a new stock certificate issued in the name of Purchaser. The new stock certificate representing the Shares will then be returned to Lender, along with a Stock Power signed by Purchaser for the benefit of Lender.
