ESCO CORPORATION

RESTATED STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTION AGREEMENT
  (Class A Common Stock)

 

This Restated Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of                              is by and between ESCO Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and the shareholder whose name appears on the signature page below (“Shareholder”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                   Prior to the effective date of the Agreement, Shareholder owns or has options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or expects to acquire Class A Common Stock in connection with the stock reclassifications contemplated by the Second Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

 

B.                                     Prior to the effective date of the Agreement, the Company and Shareholder are parties to one or both of the Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement (Restated) (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”) relating to shares of stock of the Company owned by Shareholder.  Shareholder desires to amend and restate in its entirety one or more Prior Agreements.

 

C.                                     The Company and Shareholder intend for the Agreement to be effective upon, and subject to, the sale of Class C Preferred Stock to the ESCO Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan contemplated by the Second Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.                                       Limitations on Transfer.

 

1.1 Shares Subject to Restrictions Under This Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” means all of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock owned or held by Shareholder, including any additional shares that may be acquired subsequent to the date of this Agreement and all securities received in replacement of Class A Common Stock or as stock dividends or splits and all securities received in replacement of Class A Common Stock in a recapitalization, merger, or other reorganization, except as otherwise provided in Schedule A.

 

1.2 Restrictions. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or by a separate agreement between the Company and Shareholder, Shareholder may not sell or otherwise transfer, including transfers by gift and by operation of law, any interest in any of the Shares except as provided in this Agreement. Any transfer of the Shares in violation of this Agreement will be void. All certificates representing any of the Shares will contain a legend referring to the restrictions in this Agreement.

 

 

1.3 Permitted Family Transfer. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to prevent Shareholder from effecting a transfer to, or for the benefit of, a Shareholder’s spouse, lineal descendant, or ancestor, or a trust established solely for the benefit of one or more of the foregoing. Shareholder will give the Company notice in writing at least 30 days before effecting such transfer, setting forth the name of the proposed transferee, the relationship of such transferee to the Shareholder, and the number of Shares to be transferred to such transferee. Any transfer of Shares under this provision will be subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4.

 

2.                                       Company Right of First Refusal. If Shareholder desires (or is required) to sell or transfer any of the Shares in any manner other than pursuant to Sections 1.3, 3 or 4, Shareholder must first obtain a firm, unconditional written offer signed by a bona fide prospective purchaser (the “Bona Fide Offer”), stating the number of Shares to be purchased, the total purchase price, and the terms of payment of the purchase price. Shareholder will mail a copy of the Bona Fide Offer to the Company. For a period of 60 days following the Company’s receipt of a copy of the Bona Fide Offer (the “Refusal Period”), the Company will have a right of first refusal to purchase any portion of the Shares covered by the Bona Fide Offer at the same price, and upon the same terms (or terms as similar as reasonably possible) set forth in the Bona Fide Offer. If the Shares are not purchased by the Company by the end of the Refusal Period, the selling Shareholder will have 60 days (the “Transfer Period”) following lapse of the Refusal Period to dispose of the Shares to the transferee identified in the Bona Fide Offer on terms no more favorable to the transferee than those offered to the Company. After the Transfer Period lapses, the Shares will once again be subject to the rights of first refusal contained in this Section 2.  Any transfer of Shares under the provisions of this Section 2 shall be subject to the transferee agreeing in writing that following the transfer (a) the provisions of this Section 2 shall continue to apply to the Shares, (b) the Put Options set forth in Section 3 shall not apply to the Shares and (c) the Call Option set forth in Section 4 shall apply when the Shareholder transferor leaves the service of the Company for any reason (including death, retirement, disability, termination by the Company or voluntary termination by the Shareholder transferor) even though the Shareholder transferor no longer owns the Shares.

 

3.                                       Put Option.

 

3.1 Availability.  Upon Shareholder’s retirement, death or disability (each a “Triggering Event”), Shareholder or Shareholder’s personal representative or other successor in interest (“Successor”), as the case may be, may require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by Shareholder or Shareholder’s Successor (the “Put Option”) in accordance with the terms of this Section 3;  provided, however, that if a Triggering Event occurs prior to December 26, 2008, such Triggering Event shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to occur as of December 26, 2008.  The term “disability” means a mental or physical impairment which occurs while Shareholder is an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and which is expected to result in death or which has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of 12 

 

2

 

months or more and which causes the Shareholder to be unable, in the opinion of the Company, to perform his or her duties as an employee, director, officer or consultant of the Company.  Disability shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day after the Company has made a determination of disability.  The term “retirement” means, for employees, retirement from ESCO at normal retirement age (65) or earlier in the Company’s sole discretion, and for directors, discontinuation of service as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

3.2 Price and Procedure.  The purchase price for any Shares purchased pursuant to this Section 3 shall be the fair market value of the Shares as of the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the Triggering Event occurs (or is deemed to occur) or in which the applicable anniversary of the Triggering Event occurs as specified in Section 3.3, 3.4 or 3.6.2 (the “Valuation Date”), which value shall be fixed by the Board of Directors (or a committee of the Board of Directors) at a value consistent with the valuation undertaken for purposes of the ESCO Corporation Employees’ Stock Ownership Plan as of the Valuation Date.  Each Put Option shall be exercised by written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”), which must be given by the Shareholder to the Company within 90 days of the date the Triggering Event (or applicable anniversary of the Triggering Event) occurs (the “Put Option Election Period”). The Put Notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased and a date for closing (the “Closing Date”), which shall not be less than 45 days and not more than 60 days after expiration of the Put Option Election Period.  The Company shall regularly provide quarterly valuations of the Class A Common Stock to Shareholder.

 

3.3 Retirement or Disability.  Upon retirement or disability, each Shareholder shall have a right to sell to the Company a portion or all Shares held by that Shareholder over a three-year period.  Beginning in 2009, upon retirement or disability Shareholder shall have the opportunity to exercise Shareholder’s Put Option for up to 1/3 of the Shares held by Shareholder as of the date of retirement or disability.  On the first anniversary of the retirement or disability, Shareholder shall have the opportunity to exercise Shareholder’s Put Option for between 1/3 and 2/3 of the Shares held by Shareholder as of the date of retirement or disability.  On the second anniversary of the date of the retirement or disability, Shareholder shall have the opportunity to exercise Shareholder’s Put Option as to any remaining Shares.  For Put Option exercises by Shareholder in any year with a purchase price not exceeding $1 million, the Company shall pay the total purchase price on the applicable Closing Date for the exercise of the Put Option.  For Put Option exercises by Shareholder in any year with a purchase price exceeding $1 million, the Company may, at its option, pay $1 million on the applicable Closing Date for the exercise of the Put Option, and 1/2 of the remaining amount on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Triggering Event.

 

3.4 Death.  Beginning in 2009, upon the death of Shareholder, Shareholder’s Successor shall have the opportunity to exercise the Put Option for up to 1/2 of the Shares held by Shareholder on the date of death.  On the first anniversary of the date of death, Shareholder’s Successor shall have the opportunity to exercise the Put Option as 

 

3

 

to any remaining Shares.  For a Put Option exercise in one year for more than 1/2 of the Shares held by Shareholder as of the date of death, the Company may, at its option, pay the repurchase price in two equal annual installments, with the first installment payable on the Closing Date the exercise of the Put Option and the remaining amount payable on the first anniversary of that Closing Date.  For a Put Option exercise with respect to up to 1/2 of the Shares held by Shareholder as of the date of death, the Company shall pay the purchase price total at the applicable Closing Date.

 

3.5 Interest Rate.  For purposes of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, the deferred portion of the purchase price shall bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate on the first day of the calendar year in which the closing occurs.

 

3.6 Repurchase Limitations.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any shares pursuant to Section 3 in the event that any limitation set forth in this Section 3.6 (the “Repurchase Limitations”) is applicable.

 

3.6.1  Corporate Law Restrictions and Covenant Limitations.  The Company shall not be required to repurchase any Shares pursuant to Section 3 if the repurchase would cause the Company to be in violation of (i) the statutory solvency and balance sheet tests of ORS 60.181 governing distribution limits or any other provisions of the corporate law of Oregon, or (ii) the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Company’s outstanding credit agreements.

 

3.6.2 Deferral of Put Options.  In the event any Repurchase Limitation is applicable and the Company does not repurchase Shares pursuant to the exercise of Put Options by Shareholder or Shareholder’s Successor, Shareholder or Shareholder’s Successor shall have the right to exercise the Put Options with respect to such Shares that could not be respurchased due to a Purchase Limitation in the first fiscal quarter in which the repurchase can be made without violation of the Repurchase Limitations.  In the event of any deferral of Put Options, the Company shall notify Shareholder or Shareholder’s Successor of the applicable Put Option Election Period.  With respect to any deferral of Put Options by reason of the Repurchase Limitations, the purchase price shall be determined as of the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the quarter in which the repurchase occurs.

 

3.6.3  Allocation.  Shareholder understands that other shareholders have contractual Put Options with respect to their shares (“Other Shareholders”).  The Company will consider the Put Options of other shareholders (and any other stock repurchases that the Company makes pursuant to contracts or otherwise) in determining whether the Repurchase Limitations will limit the ability of the Company to repurchase Shares from Shareholder.  In the event that in any year the Repurchase Limitations permit some shares to be purchased from Shareholder and Other Shareholders but do not permit the repurchase of all shares as to which 

 

4

 

Shareholder and the Other Shareholders desire to exercise Put Options or other repurchase rights, the Company shall repurchase shares according to the following priorities:

 

(i)  Subject to (iv) below, shares will next be repurchased from Shareholder’s Successor and Other Shareholders’ successors due to the death of Shareholder or Other Shareholders, and if not all shares may be repurchased due to the Repurchase Limitations, shares will be repurchased from Shareholder’s Successor and the other shareholders’ successors on a prorata basis (based on the number of shares as to which a shareholder’s Put Options apply in such year in relation to the total number of shares as to which Put Options held in the aggregate by Shareholder and Other Shareholders apply in such year);

 

(ii)  If additional shares can be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Limitations, shares will next be repurchased from Shareholder and Other Shareholders due to the disability of Shareholder or Other Shareholders, and if not all shares may be purchased due to the Repurchase Limitations, shares will be repurchased from Shareholder and the Other Shareholders on a prorata basis (based on the number of shares as to which the Put Options apply in such year in relation to the total number of shares as to which Put Options held in the aggregate by Shareholder and Other Shareholders apply in such year);

 

(iii)  If additional shares can be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Limitations, shares will next be repurchased from Shareholder and Other Shareholders due to the retirement of Shareholder or Other Shareholders, and if not all shares may be purchased due to the Repurchase Limitations, shares will be repurchased from Shareholder and the Other Shareholders on a prorata basis (based on the number of shares as to which the Put Options apply in such year in relation to the total number of shares as to which Put Options held in the aggregate by Shareholder and Other Shareholders apply in such year); and

 

(iv) If the Repurchase Limitations limit repurchases in any year, in the next year, any shares held by Shareholder or Other Shareholders that could not be repurchased shall first be repurchased in the following year in which repurchases can be made under the Repurchase Limitations (before any other shares shall be repurchased under the above priorities), and if all such shares cannot be repurchased in the following year, shares will be repurchased from Shareholder and Other Shareholders on a prorata basis (based on the number of shares of a shareholder that were not repurchased in the prior year in relation to the total number of shares held in the aggregate by Shareholder and Other Shareholder that were not repurchased in the prior year).

4.                                       Call Option.  If a Triggering Event occurs and the Company does not receive a Put Notice with respect thereto as provided in Section 3, or receives a Put Notice as to fewer than all of the Shares held by Shareholder, the Company shall have, on the expiration of the last Put Option following retirement, disability or death, the option (the “Call Option”) to purchase any or all Shares held by Shareholder or Shareholder’s Successor on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3 hereof.  The Company shall have 90 days from the expiration of the last Put Option Election Period to exercise the Call Option.  In the event of the death of Shareholder, Shareholder’s Successor shall promptly inform the Company of Shareholder’s death.  If the Company is not given notice of Shareholder’s death (or receives notice after the Call Option would have otherwise expired), the Company shall have 90 days from actual notice of Shareholder’s death to exercise the Call Option.  If Shareholder leaves the service of the Company for any reason other than death, retirement or disability, the Company shall have 90 days from the date of Shareholder’s departure to require Shareholder to sell the Shares to the Company at the per share price then in effect for repurchases pursuant to Section 3.  In the event repurchases cannot be made by reason of restrictions described in Section 3.6.1, the Company’s Call Option shall apply as soon as such restrictions are no longer applicable.

 

5.                                       Assignment by the Company. The right of the Company to purchase any part of the Shares under Section 2 or Section 4 of this Agreement may be assigned in whole or in part to any person or persons designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

6.                                            Obligations Binding Upon Transferees. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2, All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any sale or transfer of the Shares will be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are met.

 

7.                                       Termination. This Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the closing of an underwritten public offering of Class A Common Stock of the Company or (ii) the closing date of a sale of assets or merger of the Company pursuant to which shareholders of the Company receive securities of a buyer whose shares are publicly traded.

 

8.                                       Transfers in Violation. The Company will not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (b) treat as owner of such Shares, or accord the right to vote as such owner, or pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares are purported to have been so transferred.

 

9.                                       Enforcement. The Company and Shareholder acknowledge that the other party will suffer irreparable harm if either party fails to comply with this Agreement, and that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate the parties for such failure. Accordingly, the parties agree that this Agreement may be enforced by specific 

 

6

1.1                                 Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, if the Optionee’s employment by or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than because of total disability or death, the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date or the expiration of 30 days after the date of the termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination.

 

1.2                                 If the Optionee’s employment by or service with the Company terminates because of death or total disability (as defined in Section 6(a)(iv)(B) and (C) of the Plan), the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date or the expiration of 12 months after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination; provided, however, that if such death or total disability occurs after either (a) the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or (b) the merger of the Company with and into a corporation the common stock of which is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the option shall immediately vest and be fully exercisable during such 12-month period.

2.                                       Method of Exercise of Option.

In addition, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and. kind of shares as to which the Option, or portion thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, so that the Optionee’s proportionate interest before and after exercise of the Option is maintained. Notwithstanding ‘the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall have no obligation to effect any adjustment that would or might result in the issuance of fractional shares, and any fractional shares resulting from any adjustment may be disregarded or provided for in any manner determined by the Board of Directors. Any such adjustments made by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive.

4.2-1                       The Option shall remain in. effect in accordance with their terms. If the stockholders of the Company receive capital stock of another corporation (“Exchange Stock”) in exchange for their shares of Class A Common Stock in any Transaction, all options granted hereunder shall be converted into options to purchase shares of Exchange Stock. The amount and price of converted options shall be determined by adjusting the amount and price of the options granted hereunder in the same proportion as used for determining the number of shares of Exchange Stock the holders of the Class A Common Stock receive in such Transaction. Unless otherwise determine by the Board of Directors, the converted options shall be vested only to the extent that the vesting requirements relating to options granted hereunder have been satisfied.

 

4.2-2                       If the stockholders of the Company receive Exchange Stock in exchange for their shares of Class A Common Stock in any Transaction, the Option shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of Exchange Stock. The amount and price of the

 

 

converted option shall be determined by adjusting the amount and price of the Option in the same proportion as used for determining the number of shares of Exchange Stock the holders of the Class A Common Stock receive in such Transaction.
