of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Stock”), of the Company specified

1.           Applicable
Equity Plan. This Stock Option is being awarded under the Company’s Inducement Award Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed
by the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.
Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified in this
Agreement.

 

2.           Exercisability
Schedule. No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have become exercisable according to the
vesting schedule below or in accordance with Section 4. Except as set forth in Section 4, and subject to the discretion
of the Administrator to accelerate the exercisability schedule, this Stock Option shall become exercisable as follows:

 

[*].

 

Once exercisable, this Stock Option shall
continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions
hereof and of the Plan.

 

3.           Manner of Exercise.

 

(a) The Optionee
may exercise this Stock Option from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option by giving written notice
to the Company of his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This
notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.

 

Payment of the purchase
price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or
other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of
Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then
subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator;
(iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions
to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase
price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker
shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe
as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments
will be received subject to collection.

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

  

The transfer to the
Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s
receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any
other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by
the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock
to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will
be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned
shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of
the Stock Option shall be net of the shares attested to.

 

(b) The shares of
Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the
transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations
in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to
such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any
of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option
shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to
the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon,
the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.

 

(c) The minimum number
of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares
with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option
at the time.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date of this Agreement.

 

4.           Termination of Employment.

 

(a) Termination
Due to Death. If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death, any portion of this Stock
Option outstanding on such date shall become fully exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative
or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

 

(b) Termination
Due to Disability. If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Disability (as defined by
the Administrator), any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date shall become fully exercisable and may thereafter
be exercised by the Optionee for a period of 12 months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

  

(c) Termination
for Cause. If the Optionee’s employment terminates for Cause, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date
shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect. For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean, unless
otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company and the Optionee, a determination by the Administrator that the
Optionee shall be dismissed as a result of (i) any material breach by the Optionee of any agreement between the Optionee and
the Company; (ii) the conviction of, indictment for or plea of nolo contendere by the Optionee to a felony or a crime involving
moral turpitude; or (iii) any material misconduct or willful and deliberate non-performance (other than by reason of disability)
by the Optionee of the Optionee’s duties to the Company.

 

(d) Other Termination.
If the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than in the circumstances set forth above, and unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable
on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination shall terminate immediately and be of no further
force or effect. The Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s employment shall
be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees.

 

5.           Transferability.
This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise,
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime,
only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee.

 

6.           Tax Withholding.
The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income
tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and
local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the
minimum required tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued
to the Optionee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

 

7.            No Obligation
to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement
to continue the Optionee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.

 

8.           Notices.
Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered
to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently
furnish to the other party in writing.

Exhibit 10.1

with respect to any such business or activity.  The Stockholders expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) the CMCA Parties are permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other business relationships with entities engaged in the business of the Company Subsidiaries, including through the Company Subsidiaries (“Other Business”); (ii) the CMCA Parties have and may develop a strategic relationship with businesses that are and may be competitive or complementary with the Company Subsidiaries; (iii) none of the CMCA Parties will be prohibited by virtue of their investment in the Company or the Company Subsidiaries from pursuing or engaging in any such activities; (iv) none of the CMCA Parties will be obligated to inform or present the Company Subsidiaries or the Board or board of managers or board of directors of any such opportunity, relationship or investment, so long as not arising from relationships directly related to the Company and its operations; (v) the other Stockholders will not acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result of the participation therein of any CMCA Party or any of their Affiliates; and (vi) the involvement of any CMCA Party or any of their Affiliates in any Other Business will not constitute a conflict of interest by such Persons with respect to any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their shareholders or members.

(iii)    Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the conduct of the Company’s business may involve business dealings and undertakings with Stockholders and their Affiliates.

(i)The Company will make a quarterly distribution (at the end of each calendar quarter) to the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions to the extent that the Board determines in its reasonable discretion that the Company has excess cash (net of any estimated tax liabilities or other reasonably anticipated expenses or obligations of the Company) properly available to make any such distribution.

(ii)Other than as provided in Section 3(g)(i), to the extent funds of the Company may be available for distribution by the Company, the Board may in its sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) make distributions at any other time, or from time to time, to the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a member of the Board or officer of the Company, is or was providing services to the Company as a partner, director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person against any liability asserted against him or her incurred by him or her in such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against such liability under this Agreement.  If the Board determines that the Company and/or one or more Company Subsidiaries should purchase a “key-man” insurance policy on the life of a Stockholder, then such Stockholder agrees (i) to submit to any requested physical examination in connection with the Company’s or Company Subsidiary’s purchase 

Exhibit 10.1

of such a key-man insurance policy and (ii) to cooperate fully in connection with the underwriting, purchase and/or retention of any such key-man insurance policy by the Company or Company Subsidiary.

(a)CMCA Shares.  All Shares held by CMCA shall be freely Transferable by CMCA at any time; provided that such Transfer is in compliance with Section 5 and Section 6.  

(b)Restriction on Transfer.  The Other Stockholders may not, directly or indirectly, Transfer all or any part of their Shares voluntarily, or permit a Transfer of their Shares by operation of law or otherwise, without the written approval of the Board, unless such Transfer is (i) to the Company, (ii) to an Affiliate of such Stockholder or (iii) after the consummation of a Public Offering (such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”).  Any Transfer which is permitted pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be subject to compliance with Sections 4(c), 5, and 6.

(c)Rights of First Refusal.

(i)If any Other Stockholder desires to Transfer any Shares (a “Transferring Stockholder”) other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, such Stockholder must first deliver a notice to the Company and CMCA that discloses in detail the identity of the Transferee(s) (including all parties that directly or indirectly hold interests in the Transferee), the proposed number, amount and type of Shares to be Transferred (the “Transfer Shares”), all of the other proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer (a “Transfer Notice”), and any other information reasonably requested by the Company and CMCA with respect to the Transfer or the Transferee, together with a complete and accurate copy of the Transferee’s written offer to purchase the Transfer Shares from the Stockholder.  The delivery of the Transfer Notice to the Company and CMCA shall create the following two options:
(A)    First, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Shares at the price and on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Stockholder and CMCA as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the 15th day following delivery of the Transfer Notice (the “Company Election Period”); and

(B)    Second, if the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Transfer Shares within the Company Election Period, then CMCA may elect to purchase all or a portion of the Transfer Shares not elected to be purchased by the Company at the price and on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Stockholder and the Company as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the 30th day following delivery of the Transfer Notice.

(ii)If the Company or CMCA have elected to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Shares, the Transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Company and CMCA shall be consummated as soon as practical following the delivery of the election notice, but in any event prior to 8:00 pm, Chicago time, on the 60th day following delivery of the Transfer Notice (the “Election Period”).  If the Company or CMCA purchases any Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 4(c), they shall be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the Transferring Stockholder as to ownership, title, authority to sell and the like regarding the Transfer Shares and to receive such other evidence, including applicable inheritance and estate tax waivers, as may be reasonably necessary to effect the purchase of the Transfer Shares.

(iii)If the Company and/or CMCA have not collectively elected to purchase all of the Transfer Shares, the Transferring Stockholder may Transfer all (but not less than all) of the remaining Transfer Shares to the Transferee at a price no less than the price specified in the Transfer Notice and on terms no more favorable to the Transferee than the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, within 90 days following the expiration of the Election Period.  Any Transfer Shares not Transferred within such 90-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 4(c) with respect to any subsequent Transfer.

(iv)If CMCA desires to Transfer any Shares other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, CMCA must first deliver a notice to CRIC that discloses in detail the identity of the Transferee(s) (including all parties that directly or indirectly hold interests in the Transferee), the proposed number, amount and type of Shares to be Transferred (the “CMCA Transfer Shares”), all of the other proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer (a “CMCA Transfer Notice”), and any other information reasonably requested by CRIC with respect 

Exhibit 10.1

to the Transfer or the Transferee, together with a complete and accurate copy of the Transferee’s written offer to purchase the CMCA Transfer Shares from CMCA.  Upon delivery of the CMCA Transfer Notice to CRIC, CRIC may elect to purchase all or any portion of the CMCA Transfer Shares at the price and on the terms specified in the CMCA Transfer Notice, by delivering written notice of such election to CMCA as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the 15th day following delivery of the CMCA Transfer Notice.

(v)If CRIC has elected to purchase all or any portion of the CMCA Transfer Shares, the Transfer of the CMCA Transfer Shares to CRIC shall be consummated as soon as practical following the delivery of the election notice, but in any event prior to 8:00 pm, Chicago time, on the 60th day following delivery of the CMCA Transfer Notice (the “CRIC Election Period”).  If CRIC purchases any CMCA Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 4(c), they shall be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from CMCA as to ownership, title, authority to sell and the like regarding the CMCA Transfer Shares and to receive such other evidence, including applicable inheritance and estate tax waivers, as may be reasonably necessary to effect the purchase of the CMCA Transfer Shares.

(vi)If CRIC has not elected to purchase all of the CMCA Transfer Shares, CMCA may Transfer all (but not less than all) of the remaining CMCA Transfer Shares to the Transferee at a price no less than the price specified in the CMCA Transfer Notice and on terms no more favorable to the Transferee than the terms specified in the CMCA Transfer Notice, within 90 days following the expiration of the CRIC Election Period.  Any CMCA Transfer Shares not Transferred within such 90-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 4(c) with respect to any subsequent Transfer.

5.Acceptance of Transfer.  No Transfer of Shares shall be deemed effective, unless (i) such Transfer does not violate any applicable federal or state laws; (ii) the intended transferee of such Transfer is not a competitor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (iii) the Stockholder has complied with the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 6; and (iv) the Person to whom Shares are Transferred executes and delivers (A) whatever documents are deemed reasonably necessary by the Company to evidence such Person’s interest in, acceptance of and agreement with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a Joinder Agreement signature page to this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and, in the case of an individual intended transferee, execution by such intended transferee’s spouse of the Spousal Consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, if applicable; and (B) unless waived by the Board, deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.

6.Tag-Along Rights.

(a)If, prior to the consummation of a Public Offering, one or more Stockholders holding Common Shares (the “Proposed Seller(s)”) propose to sell to a Third Party, in a transaction or series of related transactions, Common Shares representing 50% or more of the then-outstanding Common Shares (on a Fully Diluted Basis), then the Proposed Seller(s) shall first give written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to each of the other Stockholders (the “Offeree Stockholders”), stating that the Proposed Seller(s) desires to make such sale, referring to this Section 6, specifying the number of Shares proposed to be sold by the Proposed Seller(s) pursuant to the offer (the “Offer Shares”), and specifying the price, the form of consideration, name and description of the purchaser and the material terms pursuant to which such sale is proposed to be made.

(b)Within ten days of the date of receipt of the Sale Notice, each Offeree Stockholder shall deliver to the Proposed Seller(s) and to the Company a written notice stating whether the Offeree Stockholder elects to sell to such proposed transferee on the same terms, purchase price and conditions as the Proposed Seller(s) (with respect to each Offeree Stockholder, its “Tag-Along Shares”).  Each such participation shall be based upon the pro rata share of Common Shares requested to be included by each Offeree Stockholder relative to the total number of Common Shares of all Offeree Stockholders electing to participate in such transfer.  An election pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6(b) shall constitute an irrevocable commitment by the Offeree Stockholder making such election to sell such Tag-Along Shares to the proposed transferee if the sale of Offer Shares to the proposed transferee occurs on the terms contemplated hereby.  A sale to a proposed transferee pursuant to this Section 6 shall only be consummated if the proposed transferee shall purchase, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the Sale Notice, concurrently with and on the same terms and conditions and at the same price as the Offer Shares and as specified in the Sale Notice, all of each Offeree Stockholder’s Tag-Along Shares with respect to such sale, in accordance with their elections pursuant to this Section 6, and subject to the last sentence thereof (the “Tag-Along Right”).  Each Offeree Stockholder electing to sell Tag-Along Shares (a “Tag-Along Seller”) agrees to cooperate in consummating such a sale, including by becoming a party to the purchase and sale 

Exhibit 10.1

agreement and all other appropriate related agreements, delivering, at the consummation of such sale, certificates and other instruments for such Shares, if any, duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances, and voting or consenting in favor of such transaction (to the extent a vote or consent is required) and taking any other necessary or appropriate action in furtherance thereof, including the execution and delivery of any other appropriate agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents.  Any Transfer by a Tag-Along Seller pursuant to this Section 6 shall be on the same terms as the terms on which the Proposed Seller(s) shall sell its Common Shares in any such Transfer (including with respect to representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities).  In addition, each Tag-Along Seller shall be severally (but not jointly) responsible for its proportionate share (based on its Common Shares) of the third-party expenses of sale incurred by the sellers in connection with such sale (including investment banking and legal fees) and the monetary obligations and liabilities incurred by the sellers in connection with such sale; provided that a Tag-Along Seller’s total monetary obligations relating to indemnification for breach of representations and warranties shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Tag-Along Seller.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 6, there shall be no liability on the part of the Company or the Proposed Seller(s) in the event that a sale contemplated by this Section 6 is not consummated for any reason whatsoever.  The decision whether to effect a transfer pursuant to this Section 6 shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Proposed Seller(s).  

7.Legend.  In the discretion of the Board, the issued and outstanding Shares may be represented by certificates.  In addition to any other legend required with respect to a particular class, group or series of Shares, any such certificate shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE OTHER SIGNATORIES THERETO DATED AS OF JULY 14, 2016. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY UNTIL THE CONDITIONS THEREIN HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.”
The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Shares outstanding prior to the date of this Agreement.  The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be restricted by the provisions of this Agreement.
8.Preemptive Rights.  Each Stockholder shall have the preemptive rights set forth in this Section 8, and shall have no other preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of any Shares or other equity interest in the Company or any other securities of the Company convertible into, or carrying rights or options to purchase any such equity interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(a)If, at any time or from time to time prior to a Public Offering, the Company intends to issue or sell any additional Shares to CMCA (“Additional Securities”), the Company shall first notify each Stockholder in writing (a “Preemptive Rights Notice”) of such intended sale at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of such sale, which notice shall contain the terms of the intended sale, including the purchase price and manner of payment (or the basis for determining the purchase price and other terms and conditions).  Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Preemptive Rights Notice, any Stockholder (a “Participating Stockholder”) may notify the Company (a “Participation Notice”) that it will purchase Additional Securities on the terms set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice.  The Additional Securities which each Participating Stockholder will be entitled to purchase under this Section 8 will be determined as of the date of the consummation of such sale and will equal (x) the aggregate number of Additional Securities to be sold by the Company as described in the Preemptive Rights Notice, multiplied by (y) such Participating Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion.  In the event that the Company is issuing more than one type or class of security in connection with such issuance, the Participating Stockholder shall be required to purchase such Participating Stockholder’s ratable portion (as determined above) of all such types and classes of securities.

Exhibit 10.1

(b)The Company will be free to issue or sell Additional Securities for which the Stockholders have not delivered Participation Notices pursuant to Section 8(a), and which are the subject matter of the Preemptive Rights Notice within the ninety (90) day period after the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice at a price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchaser than those contained in the Preemptive Rights Notice.

(c)Any Participation Notice given by a Participating Stockholder pursuant to this Section 8, when taken together with any Preemptive Rights Notice given by the Company, will constitute a binding legal agreement on the terms and conditions therein set forth, subject to the consummation of the transactions described in the Preemptive Rights Notice.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the preemptive rights granted in this Section 8 shall not apply to any of the following (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”):  (i) Shares or Share Equivalents owned by the Stockholders as of the date hereof; (ii) issuances or sales of Shares or Share Equivalents occurring in connection with a public offering of securities, including a Public Offering; (iii) Shares issued upon conversion of any Shares, Share Equivalents or debt securities if such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Shares, Share Equivalents or debt securities; (iv) Shares or Share Equivalents issued to employees, officers, directors, members of the Board, customers, vendors, suppliers, consultants, advisors or other service providers to any Company Subsidiary, including pursuant to equity purchase or equity option plans or other arrangements that are intended to serve as compensation or as an incentive for services and that are approved by the Board; (v) Shares or Share Equivalents issued pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination or joint venture; (vi) Shares or Share Equivalents issued or issuable pursuant to any debt issuance to, or arrangement with (including, without limitation, any equipment leasing or other type of commercial financing arrangement or any debt financing), a party other than an Affiliate of the Company or any CMCA Party; or (vii) any issuance of Shares or Share Equivalents pursuant to any Share split or Share dividend.

No Stockholder may assign or otherwise transfer any of his, her or its rights pursuant to this Section 8.
9.[Reserved].

10.Reports.  Within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each taxable year of the Company, the secretary or other authorized officer of the Company shall cause to be sent to each Person who was a Stockholder at any time during the taxable year then ended, that tax information concerning the Company which is necessary for preparing the Stockholder’s income tax returns for that year.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to each Stockholder, with reasonable promptness after becoming available to the Company, copies of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.  Each Stockholder agrees that any information delivered to him, her or it hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 12(b).  

11.Non-Disparagement.  Each Stockholder hereby individually covenants and agrees that such Stockholder and his, her or its Affiliates shall not, for so long as he, she or it is a holder of Shares, make or publish any statement (orally or in writing) that libels, slanders, disparages or otherwise defaces the goodwill or reputation (whether or not such disparagement legally constitutes slander) of any other Stockholder, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors.

12.Public Announcements; Confidentiality.

(a)No Stockholder shall make any public announcement or filing with respect to the transactions provided for herein without the prior consent of the Board; provided, however, that any party hereto may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements (in which case the disclosing party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other parties prior to making the disclosure).  To the extent reasonably feasible, any press release or other announcement or notice regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made by the Board or any other party designated by the Board.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CMCA shall be permitted to issue press releases, make public announcements and communicate with shareholders, analysts, investors, employees, customers and suppliers without the consent or participation of the other parties hereto.

(b)Each Stockholder recognizes and acknowledges that he, she or it has and may in the future receive certain confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to confidential information of Company and its subsidiaries regarding financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as identifiable, specific and discrete business opportunities being pursued by the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Confidential Information”).  Except as otherwise agreed to by the Board, each Stockholder and its Affiliates (a “Bound Party”) (on behalf of itself and, to the extent that such Bound Party would be responsible for the 

Exhibit 10.1

acts of the following persons under principles of agency law, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and members) agrees that it will not, during or after the term of this Agreement, whether directly or indirectly through an Affiliate or otherwise, take commercial or proprietary advantage of or profit from any Confidential Information or disclose Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except (i) to authorized directors, officers, representatives, agents and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and as otherwise may be proper in the course of performing such Bound Party’s obligations, or enforcing such Bound Party’s rights, under this Agreement and the agreements expressly contemplated hereby; or (ii) as is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative body or governmental body, or by subpoena, summons or legal process, or by law, rule or regulation; provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Bound Party required to make such disclosure shall provide to the Board prompt notice of such disclosure. Nothing in this Section 12(b) shall in any way limit or otherwise modify any confidentiality covenants entered into by any Stockholder with the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

13.Termination of Status as Stockholder. From and after the date that a Stockholder or its transferees cease to own any Shares, it shall no longer be deemed to be a Stockholder for purposes of this Agreement and all rights it may have hereunder shall terminate.  For the purposes of this Section 13, Shares owned by a transferee shall be deemed to be owned by the last Stockholder to own those Shares.

14.Amendment and Waiver.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Board may amend, alter, change, repeal or waive any provision contained in this Agreement, and all rights conferred upon Stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, alteration, change, repeal or waiver shall be effective without the approval of all of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Shares voting together as a single class; (ii) any rights granted specifically to any Stockholder by name (as opposed to rights existing solely by virtue of holding Shares) shall not be amended in a manner adverse to such Person without his, her or its consent; (iii) no modification, amendment, alteration, change, repeal or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a Stockholder with respect to a class of Shares shall be effective against such Stockholder without the prior written consent of such Stockholder unless such modification, amendment, alteration, change, repeal or waiver materially and adversely affects the same rights and obligations of all Stockholders holding the same class of Shares, and (iv) any amendment of Section 3(d) or Section 15 shall require the approval of CMCA and CRIC; provided, however, that, without the approval of any of the Stockholders, the Board:

(a)may amend this Agreement to give effect to agreements with new Stockholders approved by the Board pursuant to the terms of this Agreement providing that such new Stockholders will be bound by the terms of this Agreement;

(b)may amend this Agreement (i) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, guidelines or opinions contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any stock exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service or any other United States federal or state agency, or in any United States federal or state statute, compliance with which the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Company; (ii) to change the name of the Company; and (iii) to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision of this Agreement that may be incomplete or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or to make any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such amendment under this clause (b)(iii) does not adversely affect the interests of the Stockholders hereunder in any respect;

(c)may amend this Agreement to make a change that is necessary or, in the opinion of the Board, advisable to qualify the Company as a corporation under the laws of any state, so long as such change does not adversely affect the Stockholders in any respect; and

(d)may amend this Agreement to make a change in any provision of this Agreement that requires any action to be taken by or on behalf of the Stockholders or the Board or the Company pursuant to the requirements of applicable law if the provisions of applicable law are amended, modified or revoked so that the taking of such action is no longer required.

An amendment, alteration, change, repeal or waiver shall become effective as of the date specified in the Board’s or, if required, Stockholder’s approval, as the case maybe, or, if none is specified, as of the date of such approval (or the latest of such approvals, if applicable).
15.Certain Rights of CRIC.

(a)In the event that the Company (i) fails to maintain the organization and good standing in each jurisdiction where its business so requires of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (ii) fails to file and pay material taxes 

Exhibit 10.1

(including franchise taxes) or (iii) materially defaults under the Note or Deed of Trust, and the Company does not cure such failure or default within 30 days after receiving written notice of such failure or default from CRIC, then CRIC may (but shall not be obligated to), if such failure or default is curable by the payment of money, loan such amounts (together with any applicable fees, penalties and interest) to the Company in order for the Company to cure such failure or default.  CMCA shall reimburse CRIC for any such loaned amounts within ninety (90) days following CRIC’s written demand to CMCA for such amounts, together with interest on such amounts from the date of CRIC’s written demand to CMCA until the date of repayment at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the then-current Prime Rate plus five percent (5.0%) or (b) twelve percent (12.0%) (such loaned amount, together with any such interest accrued thereon, the “Loaned Amount”).  If CMCA fails to so reimburse CRIC within such 90-day time period, then CRIC may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares held by CMCA for a price equal to (x) 50% of the Contribution and Liability Satisfaction Amount (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) as of the closing date of such purchase (provided that the amount set forth in this clause (x) shall not exceed $10,000,000), minus (y) the Loaned Amount, by delivering written notice of such election to CMCA as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the 270th day following the expiration of such 90-day period.  If CRIC has timely elected to purchase CMCA’s Shares pursuant to this Section 15(a), then the Transfer of such Shares to CRIC shall be consummated as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 pm, Chicago time, on the 30th day following delivery of the election notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable failure or default described in the first sentence of this Section 15(a) is not curable by the payment of money (and the Company has not cured such failure or default within 30 days after receiving written notice of such failure or default from CRIC), then CRIC may exercise and execute its repurchase rights set forth in this Section 15(a) without first loaning funds to the Company and seeking reimbursement from CMCA therefor.

(b)In the event that CMCA fails to reimburse CRIC for any Loaned Amount within the 90-day period set forth in Section 15(a) above, then, as an alternative to CRIC’s right to elect to purchase the Shares held by CMCA as provided in Section 15(a), CRIC may instead elect to have the Loaned Amount added to the Service Fees (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) payable to DGI-BNSF pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, by delivering written notice of such election to CMCA as soon as practical, but in any event prior to 8:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the 30th day following the expiration of such 90-day period.  If CRIC has timely elected to have the Loaned Amount added to the Service Fees, then the Loaned Amount shall be added to the Applicable Fee Amount (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) and shall be paid to DGI-BNSF in accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement, and the Loaned Amount shall continue to accrue interest as stated in Section 15(a) until paid.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 15(a), Section 15(b) or anything else to the contrary contained herein, (i) CRIC shall not have any repurchase rights or any rights to increase Service Fees (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) pursuant to this Section 15 with respect to any failure or default described in the first sentence of Section 15(a) if such failure or default was caused in any way by CRIC’s breach of this Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement or by CRIC’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; and (ii) if CRIC fails to timely exercise and execute any of its rights set forth in this Section 15, then such rights shall terminate and shall be void and of no further force or effect with respect to the applicable failure or default that triggered such rights.

16.Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validly of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon each Stockholder with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement.  The Stockholders further agree that any court or arbitrator is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the Stockholders as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Stockholders expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them.  In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been set forth herein.

17.Notices, Consents, etc.  All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder will be in writing.  Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally to the recipient, (b) when sent by electronic mail, on the date of transmission to such recipient, (c) one business day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (d) four business days after being mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, and addressed to each Stockholder at the address for such Stockholder on the books and records of the Company, or at such other address as may be furnished in writing and confirmed via email transmission.

Exhibit 10.1

18.Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

19.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws.

20.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Preamble and all the Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement (all of which shall be deemed incorporated in the Agreement and made a part hereof), set forth the entire understanding of the Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether written or oral, of the Stockholders, and shall be modified or amended as provided herein.

21.Articles of Incorporation.  Each party to this Agreement shall take all action reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and provisions set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

22.Assignment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns.

23.Headings.  The subject headings of Articles and Sections of this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.

24.Counterparts; Deliveries.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects and for all purposes as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.  At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties, except that the failure of any party to comply with such a request shall not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable.  No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

25.Documents; Further Assurances.  Each Stockholder will execute all documents and take such other actions as the Board may request in order to consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

26.Remedies. Each party hereto shall be entitled to enforce its rights hereunder specifically to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other available rights. The parties agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any such party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief, without posting a bond or other security, in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

27.Third Parties.  Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
FORM OF SPOUSAL CONSENT
I, the spouse of ______________________________, hereby acknowledge that I have read the foregoing Stockholders’ Agreement of CMC Industries, Inc. (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), which provides for the repurchase of my spouse’s Shares under certain circumstances and imposes other restrictions on the transfer or sale of such Shares.  I agree that my spouse’s interest in the Shares is subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement, as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, and any interest I may have in the Shares shall be irrevocably bound by the Stockholders’ Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented and further that my community property interest, if any, shall be similarly bound by the Stockholders’ Agreement.  To the extent that I have any interest in the Shares, I hereby agree to abide by and comply with the terms and conditions of the Stockholders’ Agreement as from time to time in effect.
I am aware that the legal, financial and other matters contained in this Agreement are complex and I am free to seek advice with respect thereto from independent counsel.  I have either sought such advice or determined after carefully reviewing the Stockholders’ Agreement that I will waive such right.
