occurs after such date, no Issuance of any Company Equity (as defined below) by
the Company may occur without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx, which consent
may be withheld at Xxxxxx'x sole and absolute discretion; provided that the
foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit Issuance to its employees or outside
business consultants of shares of or options for common stock of the Company in
the ordinary course of business under compensation arrangements or stock option
plans.
1.2. Transfers in Violation of Section 1.1. No purported Issuance of
Company Equity by the Company in violation of Section 1.1 will be valid or
effective. In the case of an Issuance or attempted Issuance of any Company
Equity that is not a permitted Issuance under Section 1.1, the Company will be
liable to indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxxx from all costs, liabilities, and
damages that it or its affiliate may incur (including incremental tax liability
and attorneys' fees and expenses) as a result of such Issuance or attempted
Issuance and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.
1.3. Notice of Desire to Issue.
(a) In the event that the Company desires to Issue any time
prior to December 31, 2005 any Company Equity in a transaction which
requires the prior written consent of Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 1.1
hereof, the Company will give to Xxxxxx a written notice (the "Offer
Notice") setting forth the terms upon which it proposes to Issue such
Company Equity, the price (which may be denominated solely in U.S.
dollars) and the nature and amount of the Company Equity it desires to
Issue (the "Offered Interest") and a written offer consistent with the
terms hereof (the "Firm Offer") to sell the Offered Interest to Xxxxxx
at the price (the "Offer Price") and on terms set forth in the Offer
Notice and closing of the transaction contemplated by the Firm Offer,
if accepted in accordance herewith, shall occur as described in Section
1.4(c).
1.4. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Offer Period. The Firm Offer will be irrevocable for a
period (the "Offer Period") ending at 11:59 p.m., local time at the
Company's principal place of business or residence, as applicable, on
the day which is thirty (30) days after delivery of the Offer Notice.
(b) Acceptance of Firm Offer. At any time during the Offer
Period, Xxxxxx may accept the Firm Offer by giving written notice of
such acceptance to the Company. If Xxxxxx does not accept the Firm
Offer as to all of the Offered Interest during the Offer Period, the
Firm Offer will be deemed to be rejected in its entirety.
(c) Closing of Purchase Pursuant to Firm Offer. In the event
that the Firm Offer is accepted, the closing of the sale of the Offered
Interest will take place within sixty (60) days after the Firm Offer is
accepted or, if later, the date of closing set forth in the Purchase
Offer. The Company and Xxxxxx will execute such documents and
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to affect the sale of
the Offered Interest pursuant to the terms of the Firm Offer and this
Section 1.4.
(d) Sale Pursuant to Purchase Offer if Firm Offer Rejected. If
the Firm Offer is not accepted in the manner set forth above, Xxxxxx
shall be deemed to have consented to the Issuance contemplated by the
Offer Notice and the Company may at a single closing sell all but not
less than all Offered Interest to one or more purchasers at any time
within sixty (60) days after the last day of the Offer Period, provided
that such sale will be made on terms and at a price no more favorable
than the terms contained in the Firm Offer. In the event that the
Offered Interest is not sold in accordance with the terms of the
preceding sentence, the Offered Interest will again become subject to
all of the conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, including
this Section 1.4.
1.5. Negotiation Right. In the event that the Company desires to Issue
any time after December 31, 2005 but during the term hereof any Company Equity,
the Company will give to Xxxxxx a written notice (the "Proposed Issuance
Notice") setting forth the terms upon which it proposes to Issue such Company
Equity, the price (which may be denominated solely in U.S. dollars) and the
nature and amount of the Company Equity it desires to Issue. Unless Xxxxxx
consents to the contrary in writing, the Company shall upon Xxxxxx'x request
negotiate exclusively with Xxxxxx as to the terms the purchase of such Company
Equity by Xxxxxx or its affiliates for a period of thirty (30) days following
delivery of the Proposed Issuance Notice. The foregoing shall not be deemed to
apply to a proposed Issuance to employees or outside business consultants of the
Company of shares of or options for common stock of the Company in the ordinary
course of business under compensation arrangements or stock option plans.
