SECTION 2. Right of First Offer.
     2.1 Right of First Offer on Initial Common Investor Transfers.
          (a) Subject to Sections 2.1(d), if the Initial Common Investor desires to Transfer all or any portion of the ICI Shares, he shall first submit a written notice (a “Request for Offer Notice”) to the Company, the Founder and the Preferred Investor specifying the number of ICI Shares he proposes to Transfer (the “Offered ICI Shares”). If the Company, the Founder or the Preferred Investor (each, an “Offeror”) desires to purchase for cash any or all of the Offered ICI Shares, the Offeror shall so notify the Initial Common Investor in writing (with a copy to the other Offeror) within ten (10) days after the Request for Offer Notice was given (the “Proposal Period”), specifying the number of Offered ICI Shares it desires to purchase and the cash purchase price per share it is willing to pay (a “Purchase Proposal”).
          (b) The Initial Common Investor in his sole discretion shall elect whether or not it desires to accept a Purchase Proposal from any of the Offerors, but if the Initial Common Investor accepts only one Purchase Proposal, that Purchase Proposal must be the one that offers the highest cash purchase price per share.

Page 3 of 10



 

given. Unless the parties shall otherwise agree or unless extended to obtain governmental approvals, the closing of any purchase of the Offered ICI Shares by the Company, the Founder and/or the Preferred Investor pursuant to this Section 2.1 (the “Closing”) shall occur on the last Business Day that occurs on or immediately preceding thirty (30) days following the giving of the Acceptance Notice by the Initial Common Investor (subject to an extension of up to ninety (90) additional days to the extent necessary in order to receive any governmental approvals required for the consummation of such Transfer). If extended, the Closing shall occur on the fifth (5th) Business Days following the receipt of applicable governmental approvals. The Closing shall take place at 9:00 am, local time, at the office of legal counsel for the Company (or if the Company is not purchasing any Offered ICI Shares, at the office of legal counsel for the Founder or the Preferred Investor, whichever is purchasing the greater number of ICI Shares), unless the parties agree to a different time and place. At the Closing, the Initial Common Investor shall deliver the certificate(s) representing such Offered ICI Shares, properly endorsed for transfer, against receipt of the purchase price therefor, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that is designated by the Initial Common Investor at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, which account shall be at a bank that will accept wire transfers on any Business Day. Any Offered ICI Shares purchased by the Company shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be issued and outstanding. Each party to this Agreement shall cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the party or parties purchasing the Offered ICI Shares, at the purchasing party’s or parties’ expense, obtain any governmental approvals required for the consummation of such purchase.
          (c) The Initial Common Investor shall be free to Transfer any or all of the Offered ICI Shares not sold pursuant to a Purchase Proposal under Section 2(b) to any third party free of any restriction under this Agreement; provided that if the aggregate number of Offered ICI Shares that the Offerors have timely offered to purchase is equal to or greater than the total number of Offered ICI Shares, (i) such Transfer must occur within one hundred and eighty (180) days (subject to an extension of up to ninety (90) additional days to the extent necessary in order to receive any governmental approvals required for the consummation of such Transfer) following the expiration of the Proposal Period and (ii) the price, in cash, at which the Initial Common Investor Transfers any Offered ICI Shares to the third party must be no less than the Minimum Price (as defined below) for such Transfer. Each party to this Agreement shall cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the party or parties purchasing Offered ICI Shares, at the purchaser’s or purchasers’ expense, obtain any governmental approvals

Page 4 of 10



 

required for the consummation of such purchase. If the Offered ICI Shares are not Transferred within the time period set forth above in this Section 2.1(c), then the procedures set in Section 2.1 shall again apply to any Transfer of any of the Offered ICI Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Minimum Price” for a Transfer shall mean the highest price at which the Offered ICI Shares subject to the Transfer could have been sold pursuant to any or all Purchase Proposals under Section 2(b) that were not accepted by the Initial Common Investor had the Initial Common Investor been able to accept each such Purchase Proposal in whole or in part. For example, if the Offered ICI Shares are 200 and the Initial Common Investor received two Purchase Proposals, one for 150 Offered ICI Shares at 10.00 and the other for 100 Offered ICI Shares at 8.00, neither of which was accepted, and the Initial Common Investor desires to Transfer 150 Offered ICI Shares, then the Minimum Price would be 10.00 per Offered ICI Share. If the Initial Common Investor desires to Transfer 200 Offered ICI Shares, then the Minimum Price would be 9.50 per Offered ICI Share, and if the Initial Common Investor desires to Transfer 175 Offered ICI Shares, then the Minimum Price would be 9.71 per Offered ICI Share.
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first offer rights of the Company, the Founder and the Preferred Investor set forth in this Section 2.1 shall not apply to:
               (i) Any Transfer by the Initial Common Investor without consideration to the Initial Common Investor’s ancestors, descendants, spouse, familial like parties or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Initial Common Investor; provided that the transferee of any shares from the Initial Common Investor shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by and comply with this Agreement as if it were an original “Initial Common Investor” hereunder;
               (ii) Any Transfer by the Initial Common Investor to an Affiliate of the Initial Common Investor; provided that such Affiliate shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by and comply with this Agreement as if it were an original “Initial Common Investor” hereunder;
               (iii) Any Transfer to the Initial Common Investor’s estate or by such estate by bequest, devise or descent; provided that the transferee of any ICI Shares shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by and comply with this Agreement as if it were an original “Initial Common Investor” hereunder; and
               (iv) Any pledge by the Initial Common Investor of ICI Shares that creates a mere security interest in the pledged ICI Shares; provided that the

Page 5 of 10



 

pledgee of any ICI Shares from the Initial Common Investor shall enter into a written agreement to be bound and comply with this Agreement as if it were an original “Initial Common Investor” hereunder.
               (v) Any Transfer of New Investor Shares without consideration to a charitable organization.
Upon the completion of any Transfer in compliance with clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.1(d), the transferee shall become a “Initial Common Investor” and the Transferred ICI Shares shall remain “ICI Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 3. Legend and “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.
     3.1 Legend.
          (a) Each certificate representing ICI Shares now or hereafter owned by the Initial Common Investor shall be endorsed with the following legend:
“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AGREEMENT IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY, GREGORY WYLER AND LGI VENTURE, B.V. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
          (b) The Initial Common Investor agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 3.1(a) above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed at the request of the Initial Common Investor following termination of the applicable rights of first offer set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.
     3.2 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. The Initial Common Investor hereby agrees that he shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any ICI Shares (or other securities of the Company) held by the Initial Common Investor (other than those included in the relevant Registration Statement) (i) during the 180-day period following the
