4.           RESTRICTIONS

 

NE acknowledges that her rights under this Agreement are personal to her and that the following or substantially similar wording may be included on the share certificates representing the Option Shares:

 

“The Shares represented by this certificate are subject to a Put and Call Option Agreement with MediCor. The rights granted to the holder of the Shares represented by this certificate under the Put and Call Option Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of other than in accordance with the terms of the Put and Call Option Agreement. A copy of the Put and Call Option Agreement is on file at the principal executive office of MediCor.”

 

Upon any permitted transfer of the Option Shares, the foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing such shares and the Put Option and the Call Option shall terminate with respect to such Option Shares.

 

5.           REORGANISATIONS

 

5.1         The Put Option Price and the Call Option Price shall each be adjusted following any Reorganisation so that the amount payable by MediCor to NE upon the exercise in full of the Put Option or the Call Option would be the same after as before such Reorganisation, taking into account any MediCor securities or rights attaching to or deriving from the Option Shares to receive MediCor securities, in either case received as a result of such Reorganisation and which shall all be subject to the Call Option and the Put Option on such terms as are necessary to give effect to this provision. Clause 2.6

 

5



 

shall be amended correspondingly. MediCor shall promptly notify NE of any such adjustments following consummation of any Reorganisation.

 

5.2         If a Reorganisation takes place after the Option Date but before completion of the transfer or cancellation of the Option Shares in connection with the exercise of the Put Option or Call Option (as the case may be), NE shall either renounce or, where permissible and requested by MediCor, assign to MediCor all rights deriving from the Option Shares which are the subject of the Put Option or Call Option as a result of the Reorganisation.

 

6.           FURTHER ASSURANCE

 

Each party shall, at the request of the other party, execute or procure the execution of all documents and do or procure the doing of such acts and things as may reasonably be required for the purpose of completing the transfer of the Option Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

7.           GENERAL

 

7.1         Subject to clause 4, NE shall as soon as reasonably practical and in any event with 5 Business Days inform MediCor of any transfer by her of any Option Shares.

 

7.2         A variation of this Agreement is valid only if it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each party.

 

7.3         The failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not impair or constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or an impairment of or a waiver of other rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law prevents further exercise of the right or remedy or the exercise of another right or remedy.

 

7.4         No party may (and may not purport to) assign or transfer or declare a trust of the benefit of or in any other way alienate any of its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part.
