8. Right
of Secondary
Refusal and Co-Sale Right.
8.1 Right of First
Offer.
(a) Proposed Transfers by
Purchaser. Should a Purchaser or a JHC Management
Shareholder receive a bona fide offer (individually, a
“Purchase Offer”), from any person to purchase or enter
into any transaction to Transfer (as defined below) any Shares, or
any interest in, any Shares (the “Qualifying Stock”)
held by the Purchaser or JHC Management Shareholder (the
“Selling Holder”), then the Selling Holder shall
promptly notify the Company and the JHC Management Shareholders (in
the case of a Selling Holder that is a Purchaser) or the Purchasers
(in the case of a Selling Holder that is a JHC Management
Shareholder) of the terms and conditions of such Purchase Offer
(the “Purchase Offer Notice”). The Purchase Offer
Notice must specify: (a) the name and address of the person to
which the Selling Holder proposes to sell or otherwise Transfer the
Qualifying Stock or an interest in the Qualifying Stock (the
“Offeror”), (b) the number of shares of Qualifying
Stock the Selling Holder proposes to sell or otherwise Transfer
(the “Offered Shares”), (c) the consideration per share
to be delivered to the Selling Holder for the proposed Transfer
(“Offered Price”), and (d) all other material terms and
conditions of the proposed transaction.
(b) Company Right of
FirstRefusal.
(i) The Company shall
have the right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of the
Offered Shares for the consideration per share and on the terms and
conditions specified in the Purchase Offer Notice pursuant to the
Bylaws of the Company.
(ii) To
the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the
Offeror for the Offered Shares consists of property other than cash
or a promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the
Company exercising its right of first refusal may consist of cash
equal to the value of such property, as determined in good faith by
agreement of the Selling Holder and the Company.
(c) Secondary Right of
Refusal.
(i) In the event that
the Company does not purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to
Section 8.1(b), each JHC Management Shareholder (in the case of a
Selling Holder that is a Purchaser) or each Purchaser (in the case
of a Selling Holder that is a JHC Management Shareholder) shall
have a secondary right of refusal, exercisable for a period of ten
(10) days from the date of expiration of the Company’s right
of first refusal, to purchase, on a pro rata basis according to the
number of Shares owned by such JHC Management Shareholder or
Purchaser, relative to the total number of Shares then held by all
JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers, respectively, all or
part of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company for the
consideration per share and on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Purchase Offer Notice. Such secondary right of refusal shall
be exercised by delivery by such JHC Management Shareholder or such
Purchaser of written notice to the Secretary of the
Company.
(ii) In
the event the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers have
exercised their secondary rights of refusal with respect to some
but not all of the remaining Offered Shares, those JHC Management
Shareholders or Purchasers who have so exercised such rights within
the 10-day period specified in Section 8.1(c)(i) shall have an
additional option, for a period of five (5) days next succeeding
the expiration of such 10-day period, to purchase all or any part
of the balance of such Offered Shares on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Purchase Offer Notice, which option shall be
exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Secretary of the
Company. In the event there are two (2) or more such JHC Management
Shareholders or Purchasers that choose to exercise the
last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining Offered
Shares in excess of the number available, the remaining Offered
Shares available for each such JHC Management Shareholder’s
or Purchaser’s option shall be allocated to such JHC
Management Shareholder or Purchaser pro rata based on the number of
Shares owned by the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers so
electing.
(ii) If
the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers exercise in full
their secondary rights of refusal to purchase the remaining Offered
Shares, the Company shall immediately notify all of the exercising
JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers of that fact. The closing
of the purchase of the remaining Offered Shares shall take place at
the offices of the Company no later than (a) five (5) days after
the date of such notice to the JHC Management Shareholders or
Purchasers, or (b) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date
of the Purchase Offer Notice.
(d) Sale to Offeror. In the event
that the Company and the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers
as a whole do not purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to
this Section 8.1, then the Selling Holder may Transfer, subject to
Section 8.2, all of the remaining Offered Shares, if any, to the
Offeror on the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer
Notice; provided,
however, that (i)
such sale is bona fide, (ii) the price for the sale to the Offeror
is a price not less than the Offer Price and the sale is otherwise
on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Selling Holder
than those set forth in the Purchase Offer Notice, and (iii) the
Transfer is made within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
giving of the Purchase Offer Notice. If such a Transfer does not
occur within such 120-day period for any reason, the restrictions
provided for in Section 8.1 shall again become effective, and no
Transfer of any shares of Common Stock may be made by the Selling
Holder thereafter without again complying with this Section
8.1.
(e) Definition of Transfer. For the
purpose of this Agreement, “Transfer” means and
includes any sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge,
conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent,
or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, without
limitation, transfers to receivers, levying creditors, trustees or
receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the
benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law,

transfers of Shares to the Company or to a Management Shareholder
or Purchaser upon exercise of the right of first refusal or
secondary right of refusal pursuant to this Section
8.1;
(iii) any
transfer of Shares amongst the Purchasers or amongst the Management
Shareholders; or
(iv) any
sale to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission;
provided that (y)
the JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser or the Permitted
Transferees (as defined below) shall inform the Company of such
pledge, transfer or gift prior to effecting it, and (z) the
pledgee, transferee or donee of any conveyance contemplated by
clauses (i) through (iii) above (collectively, the “Permitted
Transferees”) shall furnish the Company with a written
agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this
Agreement applicable to the JHC Management Shareholder or
Purchaser.
8.2 Co-Sale Rights. In the event
that a JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser does not elect to
purchase any Offered Shares pursuant to Section 8.1(c) above, such
JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser shall have the right (to
the extent set forth below), exercisable upon written notice to the
Selling Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after receipt
of the Purchase Offer Notice (“Tag-along Election”), to
participate in the Selling Holder’s sale or other Transfer of
the Offered Shares pursuant to the specified terms and conditions
of such Purchase Offer Notice. To the extent the JHC Management
Shareholder or Purchasers exercise such right of co-sale in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the
number of Offered Shares that the Selling Holder may sell pursuant
to such Purchase Offer shall be correspondingly reduced. The right
of co-sale of the JHC Management Shareholder or Purchasers shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) As soon as
practicable after the receipt of the Tag-along Election from the
JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser, the Company shall notify
the Selling Holder and each JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser
that has submitted the Tag-along Election (“Tag-along
Offeree”) of the number of Shares such Tag-along Offeree is
obligated to sell or otherwise dispose of pursuant to this Section
8.2, such number to be calculated in accordance with Sections
8.2(b). Upon receipt of the notice from the Company, the Selling
Holder shall notify in writing to the Company and each accepting
Tag-along Offeree of the proposed date of Transfer to the Offeror
(“Sale Date”), which notice shall not be less than ten
(10) days of the Sale Date. The Tag-along Offeree shall deliver to
the Selling Holder prior to the Sale Date the duly endorsed
certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be sold or
otherwise disposed of pursuant to such offer by such Tag-along
Offeree, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the
Selling Holder to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Offer Notice.
(b) Each JHC Management
Shareholder or Purchaser may sell all or any part of that number of
Shares owned by such JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser that
is not in excess of the product obtained by multiplying (i) the
aggregate number of Shares covered by the Purchase Offer Notice, by
(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares at
the time owned by such JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser, and
the denominator of which is the sum of (X) the number of Shares
then held by the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers that are
participating in such sale, plus (Y) the total number of Shares
owned the Selling Holder.
(c) The stock
certificate or certificates that a Tag-along Offeree delivers to
the Selling Holder pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be transferred
by the Selling Holder to the Offeror upon the consummation of the
sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified
in the Purchase Offer Notice, and the Selling Holder shall promptly
thereafter remit to the respective Tag-along Offeree that portion
of the sale proceeds to which a Tag-along Offeree is entitled by
reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent the Offeror
prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares
or other securities from a Tag-along Offeree exercising rights
hereunder, the Selling Holder shall not sell to such Offeror unless
and until simultaneous with such sale, the Selling Holder shall
purchase such shares from such Tag-along Offeree on terms
consistent with the Purchase Offer.
(d) The exercise or
non-exercise of the rights of a JHC Management Shareholder or
Purchaser hereunder to participate in one or more sales or other
Transfers of Shares made by a Selling Holder shall not adversely
affect its rights to participate in subsequent sales or other
Transfers of Shares by a JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser or
Permitted Transferee (collectively, the “Holder”)
pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof.
8.3 Prohibited
Transfers.
(a) In the event a
Holder should sell any Shares in contravention of Section 8.2 above
(a “Prohibited Transfer”) the Holder, in addition to
such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or
hereunder, shall have the put option provided in this Section 8.3,
and such Holder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such
put option.
(b) In the event of a
Prohibited Transfer, any JHC Management Shareholder or Purchaser
shall have the right to sell to such Holder a number of Shares
equal to the number of Shares that such JHC Management Shareholder
or Purchaser would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser
in the Prohibited Transfer pursuant to the terms hereof. Such sale
shall be made on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The
price per share at which the Shares are to be sold to such Holder
shall be equal to the price per share, if any, paid by the
purchaser to such Holder in the Prohibited Transfer.
(ii) Within
a period of sixty (60) days after the later of the dates on which
the JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers (i) receive
notice from such Holder of the Prohibited Transfer or
(ii) otherwise become aware of the Prohibited Transfer, the
JHC Management Shareholders or Purchasers shall, if exercising the
put option created hereby, deliver to such Holder the certificate
or certificates representing shares to be sold, each certificate to
be properly endorsed for transfer. If the JHC Management
Shareholders or Purchasers do not do so within that period, they
will have waived irrevocably all rights under this Agreement with
respect to that Prohibited Transfer, but not with respect to other
Prohibited Transfers.
(iii) Such
Holder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for
the Shares to be sold by the JHC Management Shareholder or
Purchasers pursuant to Section 8.3, pay to the order of the
Purchasers the aggregate purchase price as set forth in Section
8.3(b)(i).
(iv) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any attempt to transfer the Shares in violation of
this Agreement shall be void, and the Company agrees it will not
effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as
the holder of such Shares.
8.4 Termination. This Section 8
shall terminate upon an underwritten public offering of the Shares
in which the aggregate proceeds to the Company are at least
$25,000,000.
