agreed by the shareholders or by a written consent signed by all the directors
of the Corporation and inserted in the corporate minute book.
2. (a) The
Corporation will not, without the unanimous consent of all the shareholders, do
any of the following:(i) issue additional shares of any class or any securities
convertible into shares of any
class;(ii) merge or participate in a share exchange with any other Corporation;
or (iii)Â sell, lease, mortgage, or otherwise transfer all or substantially all

(b)Â In the event the shareholders
agree to issue additional shares or securities convertible into shares, then
each of the shareholders shall have the right to purchase any such securities
so offered at a future date in proportion to his then respective interest in
the Corporation at the time of such offer.Â
3. No shares shall be voluntarily
sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or permitted to be
transferred in any manner or by any means whatsoever except as follows:
Any shareholder intending to transfer
any shares, shall first offer such shares for sale at the Purchase Value as
hereinafter defined to the Corporation for a period of thirty (30) days, and
then, to the extent such offer is rejected or not accepted by the Corporation
within that period, such shares have been offered for sale at the Purchase Value
for a period of ten (10) days to all other shareholders in proportion to the
number of such shares held by them. Each such offer shall be in writing and
shall specify the number of shares being offered, the name and address of each
person to whom such shares are proposed to be transferred, and the price per
share and other terms upon which each such transfer is intended to be made; and
each such offer may be accepted by the offeree in whole or in part at any time
during the continuance of the offer. If any shares are not purchased pursuant
to the aforesaid offers, the Offeror shall for a period of ninety (90) days
thereafter be free to transfer such shares to the person or person so named at
the price per share and upon the other terms so named; provided that any such
transferee of those shares shall thereafter be bound by all of the provisions
of this Agreement.Â
4. (a)Â
Upon the happening of any of the events enumerated below, the Corporation shall
purchase at Purchase Value as hereinafter defined all of the shares of the
shareholder so affected:Â (i) If any shareholder employed by the Corporation
under Paragraph 1(c) shall terminate his employment for any cause or reason,
including, but not limited to, loss of
any license or certificate required
for his conduct of the business or disability lasting more than six (6) months;
or (ii) If any shareholder shall be adjudged incompetent or a general guardian
or guardian of his estate shall be appointed for him by any court; or (iii) If
any shareholder makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or applies
for the appointment of a trustee, a liquidator, or a receiver, or commences any
proceeding related to himself under any bankruptcy or arrangement of similar
law; or if any such application is filed or proceedings commenced against the
shareholder and the shareholder consents thereto or an order is entered
allowing such application and remains in effect for sixty (60) days; or (iv)
If the shares of any shareholder are purported to be transferred involuntarily,
including, without limitation, any purported transfer by or pursuant to
bankruptcy, attachment, divorce, equitable distribution, or operation of law;
or (v) If any shareholder shall die.
(b)Â This duty to purchase or retire
shall apply to all, but not less than all of the shares, and shall be exercised
by the Corporation by serving written notice upon such shareholder or such
shareholder's legal representative within thirty (30) days after the
Corporation receives notice of the occurrence of such event or the
qualification of such legal representative, whichever is later.
5. With regard to Paragraph 3, the
Purchase Value shall mean the price per share and other terms upon which a
shareholder is entitled to transfer his shares as shown in a bona fide offer to
purchase.
6. (a) Whenever under this
Agreement the Corporation or the shareholders exercise any option or right to
redeem or purchase shares of any shareholder, the Purchase Value shall be paid
to the shareholder whose shares have been redeemed or purchased in cash within
thirty (30) days after notice to the affected shareholder.Â
(b)Â
Whenever under this Agreement the Corporation or the shareholders exercise any
option or right to redeem or purchase shares of any shareholder, the Purchase
Value shall
be paid immediately upon the receipt
by the Corporation of the proceeds of any insurance on the life of a deceased
shareholder owned by and payable to the Corporation, to the extent of such
proceeds.Â
7. (a) If, under the terms of this
Agreement, the shares of the shareholders are purchased or retired, such shareholder,
or the legal representative of such shareholder, shall execute and deliver all
necessary documents that may be reasonably required for accomplishing a
complete transfer of such shares for the purpose of the purchase transaction.
(b)Â Every transferee of restricted
shares that are transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed a shareholder and be bound by all of the provisions of this
Agreement. Any purported or attempted transfer of restricted shares that does
not comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void and the
purported transferee shall not be deemed to be a shareholder of the Corporation
and shall not be entitled to receive a stock certificate or any dividends or
other distributions on or with respect to such restricted shares. For the
purposes of this Agreement, a purported transfer of shares that causes such
shares to be subject to an option under Paragraph 4 shall be deemed to comply
with the provisions of this Agreement only after the expiration of such
option.Â
8. This Agreement shall terminate
and all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease upon the happening of any
one of the following events:
(a)Â The adjudication of the
Corporation as bankrupt, the execution by it of any assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or the appointment of a receiver for the Corporation;
(b)Â The voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of the Corporation;
(c)Â By a written Agreement signed by
all the shareholders to terminate this Agreement.
9. Â If the Corporation reasonably
determines that any proposed transferee is not eligible as a shareholder of a
Subchapter S Corporation or that such transfer would cause the Corporation to
lose its qualification as a Subchapter S Corporation, then the Corporation may
so notify the shareholder of that determination and thereby forbid the
consummation of the transfer. Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall
preclude the Corporation's and the shareholders' rights of refusal under this
Agreement.
10. The certificates for shares
subject hereto shall be surrendered to the Corporation and endorsed as follows:
"The shares represented by this
certificate are subject to and are transferable only on compliance with a
Shareholders Agreement dated the ______ day of _________________, among
shareholders, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Secretary of the
Corporation."
11. Whenever under this Agreement
notice is required to be given, it shall be given in writing served in person
or by registered mail, return receipt requested, and it shall be deemed to have
been given upon personal delivery or on the date notice is posted.
12. This Agreement embodies the
entire representations, Agreements and conditions in relation to the subject
matter hereof and no representations, understandings or Agreements, oral or
otherwise, in relation thereto exist between the parties except as herein
expressly set forth. The Agreement may not be amended or terminated orally but
only as expressly provided herein or by an instrument in writing duly executed
by the parties hereto.
13. This Agreement and the various
rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure only to the benefit of and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and
assigns.
14. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or the
non-application of such term or provision to any person or circumstance shall
not impair or affect the remainder of this Agreement, and its application to
other persons and circumstances and the remaining terms and provisions hereof
shall not be invalidated but shall remain in full force and effect.Â
15. Whenever in this Agreement any
pronoun is used in reference to any shareholder, purchaser or other person or
entity, natural or otherwise, the singular shall include the plural, and the
masculine shall include the feminine or the neuter, as required by context.Â
16. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of _________________.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties
hereto have executed this Agreement the date and place first above mentioned.
