Section 3.02 Right of First Refusal.


 


(a)           If at any time the Minority Stockholder prior to the Majority Distribution (such Stockholder, an “Offering Stockholder”) receives a bona fide offer from any Third Party Purchaser who is not an Affiliate of the Minority Stockholder to purchase all or any portion of the Common Stock (the “Offered Shares”) owned by the Offering Stockholder and the Offering Stockholder desires to Transfer the Offered Shares (other than Transfers that are permitted by Section 3.01(b) or Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.03), then the Offering Stockholder must first make an offering of the Offered Shares to each Initial Stockholder (each such Initial Stockholder, a “ROFR Rightholder”) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02.


 


(b)           The Offering Stockholder shall, within five days of receipt of the offer from the Third Party Purchaser, give written notice (the “Offering Stockholder Notice”) to the Company and the ROFR Rightholders stating that it has received a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser and specifying:


 


(i)the number of Offered Shares to be Transferred by the Offering Stockholder;


 


(ii)the identity of the Third Party Purchaser;


 


(iii)the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof and the Offering Stockholder’s binding valuation of such non-cash consideration; and


 


(iv)the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Transfer, which shall not be less than 60 days from the date of the Offering Stockholder Notice.


 


The Offering Stockholder Notice shall constitute the Offering Stockholder’s offer to Transfer the Offered Shares to the ROFR Rightholders, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the ROFR Notice Period.


 


(c)          By delivering the Offering Stockholder Notice, the Offering Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and to each ROFR Rightholder that: (i) the Offering Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares; (ii) the Offering Stockholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section 3.02; and (iii) the Offered Shares are free and clear of any and all Liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.


 


(d)          Upon receipt of the Offering Stockholder Notice, each ROFR Rightholder shall have 30 days (the “ROFR Notice Period”) to elect to purchase all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares by delivering a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) to the Offering Stockholder and the Company stating that it offers to purchase such Offered Shares on the terms specified in the Offering Stockholder Notice. Any ROFR Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the applicable ROFR Rightholder. If more than one ROFR Rightholder delivers a ROFR Notice, each such ROFR Rightholder (the “Purchasing Stockholder”) shall be allocated the number of shares equal to the product of (x) the total number of Offered Shares and (y) a fraction determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Purchasing Stockholder as of the date of the Offering Stockholder Notice, by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Purchasing Stockholders as of such date.


 


 


(e)          Each ROFR Rightholder that does not deliver a ROFR Notice during the ROFR Notice Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such ROFR Rightholder’s rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02.


 


(f)          If no Stockholder delivers a ROFR Notice in accordance with Section 3.02(d), the Offering Stockholder may, during the 60 day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFR Notice Period, which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 30 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals (the “Waived ROFR Transfer Period”) and subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, Transfer all of the Offered Shares to the Third Party Purchaser on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Third Party Purchaser than those set forth in the Offering Stockholder Notice. If the Offering Stockholder does not Transfer the Offered Shares within such period or, if such Transfer is not consummated within the Waived ROFR Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Offered Shares shall not be Transferred to the Third Party Purchaser unless the Offering Stockholder sends a new Offering Stockholder Notice in accordance with, and otherwise complies with, this Section 3.02.

(g)          Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.02, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.


 


(h)          At the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver to the Purchasing Stockholders the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be sold (if any), accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price therefor from such Purchasing Stockholders by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


 


Section 3.03 Drag-along Rights.


 


(a)           If at any time a Stockholder, or group of Stockholders, who holds not less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (a “Dragging Stockholder”) receives a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser who is not an Affiliate of the Dragging Stockholder to purchase all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, in one transaction or a series of related transactions (a “Drag-along Sale”), the Dragging Stockholder shall have the right to require that each other Stockholder (each, a “Drag-along Stockholder”) sell all of their shares of Common Stock to such Third Party Purchaser in the manner set forth in this Section 3.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Drag-along Stockholder shall vote in favor of the transaction and take all actions to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.


 


(b)           The Dragging Stockholder shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 3.03 by delivering a written notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to the Company and each Drag-along Stockholder no later than 30 days prior to the closing date of such Drag-along Sale. The Drag-along Notice shall make reference to the Dragging Stockholder’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:


 


(i)           the identity of such Third Party Purchaser;


 


(ii)           the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Drag-along Sale;


 


(iii)           the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and


 


(iv)           a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.


 


(c)           If the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Stock, then, subject to Section 3.03(d), the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder shall Transfer all of the Common Stock owned by them in such Drag-along Sale.


 


(d)           The consideration to be received by a Drag-along Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock to be received by the Dragging Stockholder (or, if the Dragging Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall, except as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, be the same as those upon which the Dragging Stockholder Transfers its Common Stock. Each Drag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Dragging Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Drag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Dragging Stockholder, the Drag-along Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Dragging Stockholder and each such Drag-along Stockholder in connection with the Drag-along Sale.


 


(e)           The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Dragging Stockholder incurred in connection with a Drag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Dragging Stockholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or such Third Party Purchaser, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each Stockholder; provided, that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Drag-along Sale.


 


(f)           Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Drag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Dragging Stockholder.


 


(g)           The Dragging Stockholder shall have 90 days following the date of the Drag-along Notice in which to consummate the Drag-along Sale, on the terms set forth in the Drag-along Notice (which such 90 day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 30 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such period, the Dragging Stockholder has not completed the Drag-along Sale, the Dragging Stockholder may not then effect a transaction subject to this Section 3.03 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04 Tag-along Rights.


 


(a)           If at any time an Initial Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer any shares of its Common Stock to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transferee”) and the Selling Stockholder cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 3.03, each other Stockholder (each, a “Tag-along Stockholder”) shall be permitted to participate in such Transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04.


 


(b)           Prior to the consummation of any such Transfer of Common Stock described in Section 3.04(a), and after satisfying its obligations pursuant to Section 3.02, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and each other Stockholder a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of the proposed Tag-along Sale subject to this Section 3.04 no later than 60 days prior to the closing date of the Tag-along Sale. The Sale Notice shall make reference to the Tag-along Stockholders’ rights hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:


 


(i)           the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase.


 


(ii)           the identity of the Proposed Transferee;


 


(iii)           the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale;


 


(iv)           the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and


 


(v)           a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.


 


(c)           Each Tag-along Stockholder shall exercise its right to participate in a Transfer of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder subject to this Section 3.04 by delivering to the Selling Stockholder a written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by it no later than 30 days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The offer of each Tag-along Stockholder set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Transfer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04. The Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer in a Transfer subject to this Section 3.04 the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Proposed Transferee proposes to buy as stated in the Sale Notice and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then held by the Selling Stockholder or such Tag-along Stockholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares then held by all of the Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Selling Stockholder).


 


(d)           Each Tag-along Stockholder who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 3.04(c) above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag­along Stockholder’s rights to participate in such Transfer, and the Selling Stockholder shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Stockholder) thereafter be free to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee its shares of Common Stock at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other same terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Stockholder than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Stockholders.


 


(e)           Each Tag-along Stockholder participating in a Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per share, unless otherwise agreed to by all Stockholders, as the Selling Stockholder after deduction of such Tag-along Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with Section 3.04(g) below.


 


(f)           Each Tag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholder, the Tag-along Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Selling Stockholder and each such Tag-along Stockholder in connection with any Tag-along Sale.

(g)           The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Selling Stockholder incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by all the Stockholders participating in the Tag-along Sale on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each such Stockholder; provided, that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-along Sale.


 


(h)           Each Tag-along Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Stockholder.


 


(i)           The Selling Stockholder shall have 90 days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to Transfer the shares of Common Stock described in the Sale Notice, on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice (which such 90 day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 30 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such 90day period, the Selling Stockholder has not completed such Transfer, the Selling Stockholder may not then effect a Transfer of Common Stock subject to this Section 3.04 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.04.


 


(j)           If the Selling Stockholder Transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its shares of Common Stock in breach of this Section 3.04, then each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer to the Selling Stockholder, and the Selling Stockholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Stockholder, the number of shares of Common Stock that such Tag-along Stockholder would have had the right to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.04, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder, but without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Stockholder to the Selling Stockholder; provided, that, nothing contained in this Section 3.04 shall preclude any Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Stockholder as a result of its breach of this Section 3.04. The Selling Stockholder shall also reimburse each Tag-along Stockholder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Tag­along Stockholder’s rights.


 


Section 3.05 Sale of Majority Stockholder.


 


(a)           If at any time the Majority Stockholder enters into a transaction or series of transactions with a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Purchaser”) which would result in the sale of all or substantially all of the assets (within the meaning of such term as it is used in Section 271 of Delaware General Corporation Law) of the Majority Stockholder or a sale of more than 50% of the outstanding membership interests of the Majority Stockholder (a “Majority Stockholder Sale Transaction”), such transaction shall be deemed to a transaction constituting the sale of Common Stock of the Company by the Majority Stockholder which is subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and 3.04 and provisions thereof shall apply, with such modifications as are appropriate, to the Majority Stockholder Sale Transaction.


 


Section 3.06 Preemptive Rights.  At least thirty days prior to (or if not practicable within thirty days after) issuing any equity or any instrument convertible into equity (such as a stock option, warrant or convertible debt) to an Affiliate of the Majority Stockholder, to an officer, director or member of the Majority Stockholder of any Affiliate or such officer, director or member, or to The 100 Mile Group or any officer, director or member thereof or any Affiliate of any officer, director or member thereof, other than reasonable issuances to Affiliates, officers, directors or members of the Majority Stockholder in their capacities as officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company up to a maximum of 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (any such issuance, a “Preemptive Rights Issuance”), the Company shall provide the Minority Stockholder a notice (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”). The Preemptive Rights Notice shall set forth the terms of the proposed issuance, including the price of any equity proposed to be issued in such Preemptive Rights Issuance, the material terms of such Preemptive Rights Issuance, and the identity of the proposed purchasers in such Preemptive Rights Issuance. The Minority Stockholder may elect, at any time during the ten days following its receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice, to purchase its proportionate share of the Preemptive Rights Issuance, on the terms set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice, at the same time (or within forty days after the date) that the Company closes the Preemptive Rights Issuance. The Company shall not sell any securities in such Preemptive Rights Issuance on terms more favorable to any party other than the terms offered to the Minority Stockholder.

Section 8.10 Amendment and Modification; Waiver.  This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by The Majority Stockholder and the Minority Stockholder; provided, however, that any such amendment, modification or supplement that affects any Stockholder in an adverse manner disproportionately to all other Stockholders shall require the prior written consent of such disproportionately affected Stockholder. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.


 


Section 8.11 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.


 


Section 8.12 Dispute Resolution.


 


(a)           Subject to Section 8.13, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement or any breach, termination or validity thereof (a “Dispute”) shall be finally settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York.


 


(b)           The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The party initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint its arbitrator in its request for arbitration (a “Request”).  The other party (the “Respondent”) shall appoint its arbitrator within 30days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If the Respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator within such 30 day period, the arbitrator named in the Request shall decide the Dispute as the sole arbitrator. Otherwise, the two arbitrators appointed by the parties shall appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days after the Respondent has notified the Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator. When the arbitrators appointed by the parties have appointed a third arbitrator and the  third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators shall promptly notify the parties of such appointment. If the two arbitrators appointed by the parties fail or are unable to appoint a third arbitrator or to notify the parties of such appointment, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration Association which shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment of the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall act as chairman of the panel.


 


(c)          The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements.  Judgement upon award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets.


 


Section 8.13 Equitable Remedies.  Each party hereto acknowledges that the other parties hereto would be irreparably damaged in the event of a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) granting such parties specific performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any party files a suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing party in the suit shall be entitled to receive in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conduction the suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.


 


Section 8.14 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
