STOCK PURCHASE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
STOCK PURCHASE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made this
11th day of October, 2000 between MEGA GROUP, INC., a New York corporation (the
"Company"), and Xxxxxx Xxxxx, an individual and resident of New York (the
"Shareholder").
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Exchange dated
July 13, 2000, between the Company and Small Business Investment Company of
America, Inc., an Oregon corporation ("SBICOA") and that certain Subscription
Agreement dated October 11, 2000, between the Company and the Shareholder (the
"Subscription Agreement"), Shareholder is purchasing herewith 60,000 shares of
the Company's no par value common stock (the "Shares") for services valued at
$.04 per share (the "Original Purchase Price").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set
forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to the Shareholder a
nonqualified stock option (the "Option"), which shall not be considered an
incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to purchase up to 60,000 additional
shares (the "Additional Shares") of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase
price (the "Purchase Price") of $3.00 per Additional Share, paid in cash,
exercisable at any time and from time to time, until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
the 180th day after the date of this Agreement, upon the delivery of the Notice
of Exercise form attached hereto, completed and signed by the Shareholder, to
the Company together with the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be
appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations,
reclassifications, or other similar events affecting the number of outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company.
2. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUOUS SERVICE. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, nor any action taken by the Company in connection herewith, shall
confer upon the Shareholder any right with respect to continuous service with
the Company, its parent or a subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with
the right of the Company, its parent or a subsidiary to terminate the
Shareholder's continuous service at any time with or without cause.
3. SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION BY MAJORITY. Shareholder hereby
irrevocably appoints the Company, by its President, as Shareholder's agent and
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution for and in Shareholder's name,
to transfer or otherwise dispose of Shareholder's Shares and Additional Shares
and to do any and all things and to execute any and all documents and
instruments in connection therewith, such power of attorney not to become
operable until the holder or holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock of the Company elect to enter into a transaction (including one
which may constitute a change in control). Any transfer or other disposition of
all or a portion of Shareholder's Shares and Additional Shares pursuant to the
foregoing powers of attorney shall be made upon substantially the same terms and
conditions (including sale price) applicable to a transfer or other disposition
by the holder or holders of a majority of the Common Stock. The foregoing power
of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not
terminate by operation of law,
2
whether by the death, bankruptcy or adjudication of incompetence of Shareholder
or the occurrence of any other event.
4. RIGHT TO REQUIRE REPURCHASE.
(a) Until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date 270 days after the
date hereof (the "Repurchase Period"), the Shareholder shall have the right (the
"Repurchase Right"), exercisable once only, to require the Company to repurchase
all or part of the Shares at a price per share equal to $.50 plus all accrued
but unpaid dividends (the "Repurchase Price"), upon the delivery of the Demand
to Repurchase form attached hereto, completed and signed by the Shareholder, to
the Company, together with the certificates for the Shares with respect to which
the Repurchase Right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the
Company or accompanied by a duly executed instrument of transfer in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, subject, however, to the following
conditions and contingencies:
i. The Company shall have completed a public or private
offering of its Common Stock, at an offering price of not less than $.50
per share, with net proceeds to the Company of not less than $500,000.
ii. The Company shall have a net tangible book value,
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
of not less than $.25 per share.
iii. Any underwriter, investment banker, or financial
advisor engaged by the Company shall have consented to the repurchase.
The Repurchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, or any similar events affecting
the number of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.
(b) If the Repurchase Right is exercised as provided herein, the
Company shall within thirty (30) days of the Exercise Date pay or cause the
Repurchase Price to be paid to the Shareholder either in cash or by certified
check or bank wire transfer.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in repurchasing any Shares
hereunder, the Company shall not be required to take any action which, in the
reasonable belief of the Company or its counsel, would violate any applicable
market regulation, xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, or tender offer requirements, including,
without limitation, Sections 13(e) and 14(e) of the Shares Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and Rules 13e-1 and 14e-1 thereunder.
