(a) Pursuant to a First Amendment dated as of January 14, 2000 ("First Amendment") to the Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of October 12, 1999 by and between BSI, TWS and Stanford ("BSI Shareholder Rights Agreement"), those parties agreed, in material part, that a number of shares of BSI common stock would be issued to TWS so that, subsequent to such issuance, TWS held 60% of the outstanding and issued BSI common stock and Stanford 40%. Additionally, consistent with the First Amendment, it is contemplated that TWS and Stanford will enter into a transaction which will result in TWS holding 60%, and Stanford 40%, of the 12 outstanding and issued common stock of the Company, and BSI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Company. It is acknowledged that the 17,999-to-1 dividend to TWS of the Company's common stock, Stanford subscription for 1,200,000 shares of common stock to be issued by Company, and the Contribution Agreement, all of even date herewith, collectively constitute the contemplated transaction. Further, consistent with the First Amendment, it is also agreed that, under certain circumstances, TWS will be required to return to Company the number of shares of Company common stock so that, after such return, TWS would hold 55% of the Company's outstanding and issued common stock, and Stanford 45% of such stock. (b) If, prior to July 15, 2000 (the " End Date"), persons or entities other than Stanford and TWS ("New Investors") have purchased Company common stock (or stock issued by any Company subsidiary) in an aggregate amount for consideration not less than US $ 5,000,000, then TWS shall not have any obligation to return any Company common stock held by it to Company. Persons or entities that (i) exercise currently-held options or other convertible instruments into Company common stock (or stock issued by any Company subsidiary) or (ii) come into possession of such options or other convertible instruments in the ordinary course of their employ or positions with TWS, the Company or any affiliate thereof, shall not be considered New Investors for purposes of this section with respect to their exercise of such options or other convertible instruments. (c) If, on End Date, New Investors have not consummated purchase of Company common stock for aggregate consideration of at least US $ 5,000,000, then TWS shall promptly return that number of shares of Company common stock to Company for cancellation so that, immediately subsequent to such return, TWS shall hold 55% of Company issued and outstanding common stock, and Stanford 45% of Company issued and outstanding common stock; and TWS shall have no further right, title and interest in and to the returned shares. The number of Company shares required to be returned by TWS is 335,000. If, prior to End Date Company engages in any transaction resulting in increase, decrease or subdivision of its capital, the number of shares to be returned by TWS shall be proportionately adjusted so that, immediately subsequent to such return, TWS shall hold 55% of Company issued and outstanding common stock, and Stanford 45%. If, at the time of any return of shares by TWS under this subsection, there are third party shareholders in Company other than Stanford and TWS, calculation of the number of shares required to be returned shall also take into account any dilution of TWS' and Stanford's respective interests resulting from presence of such third party shareholders.
