This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into as of the date hereof by International Equities Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (“IEG”), Xxxxxx Capital Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“RCP”), and Richmont Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Purchase Agreement”), under which IEG is privately acquiring from RCP a total of 7,000,000 shares of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Computer Vision Systems Laboratories, Corp., a Florida corporation (“CVSL”), owned by RCP (the “Shares”).
IEG agrees that, with respect to 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock out of the Shares it is acquiring under the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Shares”), for a period beginning on the date hereof and extending until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 1, 2014 (the “Lock-Up Period”), IEG will not, without the prior written consent of RCP, directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, or transfer, offer to sell, assign, or transfer, contract or agree to sell, assign, or transfer, lend, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant any option or right to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to all or any of the Lock-Up Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to one or more other persons or entities, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of all or any of the Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or clause (ii).
The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to:
(i) any transfer or distribution to stockholders of IEG, provided that (a) such transfer or distribution does not constitute or involve a disposition for value, (b) each transferee agrees in writing with RCP to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement or the terms of a lock-up agreement that is substantially similar to this Lock-Up Agreement, and (c) no filing by any person or entity under the Exchange Act is required during the Lock-Up Period as the result of such transfer or distribution, other
than a Form 5 or a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or an amendment thereto), or is made voluntarily during the Lock-Up Period;
(ii) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the sale or other transfer of all or any of the Lock-Up Shares, provided that (a) such plan does not provide for the transfer of any of the Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period and (b) no filing by any person or entity under the Exchange Act or public announcement is required in connection with the establishment of such plan during the Lock-Up Period; or
(iii) the conversion or exchange of all or any of the Lock-Up Shares upon (a) exercise of a right to convert or exchange shares of Common Stock held by all holders of shares of Common Stock in a share or securities exchange transaction authorized or approved by the board of directors of CVSL or (b) the conversion or exchange of shares of Common Stock held by all holders of shares of Common Stock in a merger or consolidation to which CVSL is a party, provided (in either case) that any and all securities received by IEG as the result of such conversion or exchange shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement during the Lock-Up Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) IEG acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions in this Lock-Up Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the restrictions on transfer of the Lock-Up Shares (and the other Shares) provided for in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the restrictions in this Lock-Up Agreement do not apply to or affect any shares of Common Stock or any other securities of CVSL that IEG may otherwise own or hold other than the Lock-Up Shares.
IEG hereby authorizes CVSL and its transfer agent, during the Lock-Up Period, to place stop-transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Lock-Up Shares and to decline or refuse any transfer of any of the Lock-Up Shares that would constitute a breach or violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.
IEG hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that, upon request, it will execute any additional documents necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred, and all obligations of IEG herein, are irrevocable and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of IEG.
IEG hereby agrees that CVSL is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Lock-Up Agreement and, as such, will be entitled to enforce IEG’s obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement.
This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, enforced under, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas.
