RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

Section 2.1 No Transfers of Class B Stock Except in Compliance with Agreement. No DPY Stockholder shall Transfer its shares of Class B Stock, except in compliance with the provisions of this Article II. Any transfer in violation of this Article II shall be void ab initio.

Section 2.2 Transfers Pursuant to a Right of First Refusal.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(c), if a DPY Stockholder (the “Offering DPY Stockholder”) desires to Transfer all or any portion of its shares of Class B Stock (all or such portion, as applicable, is hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Interest”) to any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or convert such Offered Interest into Class A Stock pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Offering DPY Stockholder shall first deliver to each other DPY Stockholder (each, a “DPY Offeree” and together, the “DPY Offerees”), a written notice (the “Offer”) setting forth an offer to sell the Offered Interest, pro rata to each DPY Offeree in accordance with its percentage ownership of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Stock held by the DPY Stockholders (excluding the Offered Interest), for a specified cash dollar amount per share

 

3


(which price in the event of a conversion of Class B Stock pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or any other Transfer for which a price is not specified (such as a sale at prevailing market prices or a share exchange), shall be the closing sale price of the shares of Class A Stock on the principal stock market on which the Class A Stock is listed or quoted on the date of the notice) and on specified terms and conditions. For a period of 14 days after receipt by the DPY Offeree of an Offer, the DPY Offeree shall have a first right to purchase its pro rata portion of the Offered Interest in accordance with its percentage ownership of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Stock held by the DPY Stockholders (excluding the Offered Interest). To exercise its rights hereunder, an DPY Offeree must deliver to the Offering DPY Stockholder a written notice setting forth the number of shares of Class B Stock such DPY Offeree desires to purchase and, if such DPY Offeree desires to purchase more than its pro rata portion of the Offered Interest, a statement of the maximum additional amount of the Offered Interest such DPY Offeree would purchase if the other DPY Offerees elect not to purchase their pro rata share. If the DPY Offerees have not timely exercised their rights to purchase in the aggregate 100% of the Offered Interest, the Offering DPY Stockholder shall deliver to each other DPY Offeree notice to that effect and offer the other DPY Offerees the opportunity to subscribe for additional shares of the Offered Interest on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer (a “Second Offer”). Shares of the Offered Interest shall be allocated to each DPY Offeree that has timely exercised its right to purchase a portion of the Offered Interest pro rata, but not more than such DPY Offeree’s desired maximum amount of shares of Class B Stock, in accordance with such DPY Offeree’s percentage ownership of shares of Class B Stock.

(b) In the event that any DPY Offerees shall have timely elected to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Interest in accordance with Section 2.2(a), the Offering DPY Stockholder shall sell the Offered Interest to such DPY Offerees at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, and the parties shall otherwise consummate said transaction no later than 15 days after the delivery of the Offer to the DPY Offerees. In lieu of cash, any DPY Offeree may elect to pay the purchase consideration in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Class A Stock having a fair market value determined two business days prior to the closing date equal to the purchase price of the Class B Stock being purchased by such DPY Offeree, (iii) one-third in cash or shares of Class A Stock having a fair market value determined two business days prior to the closing date and two-thirds by means of a promissory note that matures on the third anniversary of the closing bearing interest at the applicable federal rate (as published from time-to- time by the Internal Revenue Service) payable annually with one-third of the principal amount due on each anniversary of the closing or (iv) a combination of (i) and (ii).

(c) In the case of a proposal to merge the Company with or into another Person that is not a Permitted Transferee (a “Merger”) or a proposal by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to make an offer to the Company’s shareholders to purchase all or a portion of the Company’s shares (a “Tender Offer”), any DPY Stockholder is authorized to call a meeting of the DPY Stockholders (the “Takeover Meeting”) and provide written notice to the DPY Stockholders of such meeting specifying the date, time and place of such meeting. DPY Stockholders may participate in such meeting in person (which may include presence by telephone conference call) or by proxy. The Takeover Meeting must occur before any DPY Stockholder can cast a vote with respect to a Merger or tender shares of

 

4


Class B Stock in the Tender Offer. Following such Takeover Meeting, any DPY Stockholder desiring to Transfer shares of Class B Stock must follow the procedures specified in Section 2.2(a) prior to voting in favor of a Merger or tendering shares in the Tender Offer; provided, however, that the price per share for the Offered Interest shall be the cash dollar amount offered per share of Class B Stock in such transaction or, in the case of another form of consideration offered per share of Class B Stock, the cash equivalent of the fair market value of such other consideration; provided, further, that the Offering DPY Stockholder shall not be obligated to sell any portion of the Offered Interest pursuant to Section 2.2(a) unless the DPY Offerees purchase 100% of the Offered Interest.

(d) To the extent that the DPY Offerees have not elected to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Interest in accordance with Section 2.2(a), the Offering DPY Stockholder may, within 5 days following the expiration of other DPY Stockholders right of first refusal under Section 2.2(a), Transfer the unpurchased portion of the Offered Interest to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee. To the extent that the DPY Offerees, on an aggregate basis, elected to purchase less than all of the Offered Interest in accordance with Section 2.2(c), the Offering DPY Stockholder may vote in favor of the Merger or tender shares of Class B Stock in the Tender Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, if either (x) the Merger or Tender Offer is terminated or (y) more than 5 days pass following the expiration of other DPY Stockholders right of first refusal under Section 2.2(a) before any Transfer of the unpurchased portion of the Offered Interest is complete, than any proposed Transfer of all or any portion of the shares of Class B Stock held by the Offering DPY Stockholder shall once again be subject to the provisions of this Article II.

Section 2.3 Transfers to Permitted Transferees. A DPY Stockholder may Transfer its shares of Class B Stock to a Permitted Transferee who is not a party to this Agreement if and only if such Permitted Transferee (or the guardian or other legal representative) has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the form of the Joinder attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ARTICLE III

VOTING AGREEMENT

Section 3.1 Voting Agreement. Except as provided in Section 2.2, each DPY Stockholder hereby agrees to vote all of its shares of Class B Stock or to cause all of its shares of Class B Stock to be voted as directed by a majority in interest of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock present at a meeting of the DPY Stockholders called pursuant to Section 3.2 at which a quorum is present. In the event (a) that the voting of the Class B Stock present at a meeting of the DPY Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.2 at which a quorum is present cannot be directed by a majority in interest of such outstanding shares of Class B Stock present because of a deadlock or (b) because a quorum at a meeting called pursuant to Section 3.2 cannot be achieved after two attempts, each DPY Stockholder hereby agrees to vote all of its shares of Class B Stock or to cause all of its shares of Class B Stock to be voted as recommended by the independent directors (as defined by NASDAQ, or such other securities exchange on which the Company maintains its primary listing of the Class A Stock) of the Board of Directors of the Company for the matter presented by the Company for stockholder action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the subject matter of a stockholder vote results in a Change of Control of the Company, each of

 

5


the DPY Stockholders hereby agrees to vote all of its shares of Class B Stock or to cause all of its shares of Class B Stock to be voted against such Change of Control unless the Super Majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock present at a meeting of the DPY Stockholders called pursuant to Section 3.2 at which a quorum is present votes in favor of such Change of Control.

Section 3.2 DPY Stockholder Vote. For purposes of effecting the agreement set forth in Section 3.1, the DPY Stockholders shall, within five days after receipt by the DPY Stockholders of a notice from the Company calling for a meeting and vote of its stockholders upon any matter, vote (in accordance with their percentage ownership of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Stock held by the DPY Stockholders) to determine how the DPY Stockholders shall vote their shares of Class B Stock pursuant to Section 3.1. The vote required by this Section 3.2 shall take place at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other location as the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Stock held by the DPY Stockholders may agree) and DPY Stockholders may participate in such vote in person (which may include presence by telephone conference call or other electronic means of communication by which all parties may be heard) or by proxy. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the DPY Stockholders of a majority in interest of the shares of Class B Stock held by the DPY Stockholders shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the DPY Stockholders called pursuant to Section 3.2. In the absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority in interest of such shares of Class B Stock present in person or by proxy may adjourn such meeting, from time to time. Notice of a date to reconvene the meeting shall be provided to all DPY Stockholders at least 24 hours in advance of such date. Any shares of Class B Stock held by DPY Stockholders not represented at such meeting shall be deemed to have voted as recommended by the independent directors (as defined by NASDAQ, or such other securities exchange on which the Company maintains the primary listing of the Class A Stock) of the Board of Directors of the Company for the matter presented by the Company for stockholder action; provided that in the case of a vote on a Change of Control the DPY Stockholders will vote against such transaction unless the Super Majority requirements of Section 3.1 are met.

Section 3.3 Action by Written Consent. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, any action of the DPY Stockholders may be taken by written consent without a meeting; provided that the Class B stockholders with the requisite number of votes vote in favor of such action (i.e. in the case of a vote for a Change of Control a Super Majority votes in favor of such Change of Control). In the event that any DPY Stockholder desires that the DPY Stockholders take any action by written consent, the DPY Stockholder proposing such action shall deliver to the other DPY Stockholders a written notice setting forth the matter proposed to be acted upon by the DPY Stockholders and request written approval of such proposed action. Any DPY Stockholder that does not provide such written approval shall be deemed to have voted such DPY Stockholder’s shares of Class B Stock against the matter presented by the proposing DPY Stockholder.

Section 3.4 Standstill Restrictions. Except as provided herein or unless otherwise approved by the majority in interest of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock, each DPY Stockholder hereby agrees not to (a) directly or indirectly make, effect, initiate or cause to be made any stockholder proposals under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or otherwise at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or in connection with any action by consent in lieu of a meeting or (b) solicit proxies, designations or written consents of stockholders, or conduct any binding or

 

6


nonbinding referendum with respect to voting securities of the Company, or make or in any way participate in any “solicitation” of any “proxy” within the meaning of Rule 14a-l of the Exchange Act (but without regard to the exclusion set forth in Rule 14a-l (l)(2)(iv) from the definition of “solicitation”) to vote any voting securities of the Company with respect to any matter, or become a participant in any contested solicitation for the election of directors with respect to the Company (as such terms are defined or used in the Exchange Act), other than solicitations or acting as a participant in support of the voting obligations of the Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.3.

Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the Arbitration award under applicable law, each party shall fully perform and satisfy the Arbitration award within fifteen (15) calendar days of the service of the award.

(d) By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, the parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and protections, which may otherwise be available if a Claim between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this Section 4.3(d), the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence. BY EXECUTING THIS

EACH MEMBER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO PROCEED BY WAY OF A CLASS ACTION, TO SERVE IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY FOR OTHERS, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH, TERMINATION, AMENDMENT, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE WAIVERS CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF SUCH PARTIES AND UPON ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES ASSERTING RIGHTS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE ACTING ON BEHALF OF A PARTY, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

Section 4.9 Waivers. The failure of any party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof will in no way affect its right at a later time to require the performance of that provision. No waiver by any party of any condition or of any breach of any term or condition contained in this DPY Agreement will be effective unless in writing. No waiver in any one or more instances will be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any condition or breach in any other instance or waiver of any other condition or breach.

 

9


Section 4.10 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that monetary damages will be insufficient for a breach of many of the provisions of this DPY Agreement. Therefore, each party agrees that, upon a breach of any provision of this DPY Agreement, the nondefaulting party(ies) may sue for and obtain an injunction or specific performance of such provision in any appropriate court.

Section 4.11 Entire Understanding. This DPY Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings among the parties regarding the subject matter hereof.
