In addition to other sales and/or transfers expressly permitted under this Agreement, SGS, DCS Family Investments, LLC, DCS Real Estate, L.L.C. and DCS Ventures, LLC, upon providing prior written notice to the other, may sell or transfer, including transfer by operation of law, to any Affiliate, its Shares at any time without restriction, other than compliance with applicable securities laws and the requirement that the transferee agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (a Permitted Transferee). No transfer may be made by SGS to a Permitted Transferee unless the Permitted Transferee executes and delivers a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Shareholder. No transfer may be made by DCS Family Investments, LLC, DCS Real Estate, L.L.C. and DCS Ventures, LLC to a Permitted Transferee other than under the DCS Ventures, LLC governing documents as of the date hereof unless MAG has controlling ownership interest in the Permitted Transferee and the Permitted Transferee executes and delivers a proxy granting MAG all voting power with respect to the transferred shares, In addition, no transfer may be made by MAG to a Permitted Transferee unless the Permitted Transferee executes and delivers a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in which the Permitted Transferee, agrees to bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Shareholder; provided, however, that MAG shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. MAG shall not transfer her ownership interest in DCS Family Investments, LLC, DCS Real Estate, L.L.C. and DCS Ventures, LLC or any of their Permitted Transferees that own Shares in the Company. |
4.3 | Representations.

4.4 | Legend on Certificates. No Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company except upon compliance with the restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement. Each certificate for Shares shall bear the following legend: |
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

Confidential | Page 7 |
together with such other legends as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable securities laws and to reflect the terms of other agreements to which the Shareholders and the Company are party.
5. | Purchase Option. |
5.1 | SGS Option to Purchase Remaining Interest. SGS will have the right (the Purchase Option), exercisable in its sole discretion during Year 3 to acquire all outstanding Shares held by the Minority Shareholders (the Remaining Shares), and the Minority Shareholders agree to sell the Remaining Shares to SGS upon the terms contained in this Section 5. SGS may exercise the Purchase Option by providing to each Minority Shareholder sixty (60) days prior written notice any time within Year 3 (the Purchase Option Exercise Notice). The price to be paid to the Minority Shareholders for the Remaining Shares pursuant to the Purchase Option shall be an amount expressed and paid in United States Dollars equal to the Purchase Option Exercise Price (defined below). Upon the Minority Shareholders receipt of the Purchase Option Exercise Notice, the Minority Shareholders shall complete the sale of all but not less than all of the Remaining Shares within sixty (60) days from the date of the Purchase Option Exercise Notice. At the closing, each Minority Shareholder shall deliver to SGS the certificate(s) for all of such Minority Shareholders Shares (duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers), against payment by SGS of that portion of the Purchase Option Exercise Price payable to such Minority Shareholder. |
5.2 | Purchase Option Exercise Price. The total Purchase Option Exercise Price shall be an amount equal to (a) the number of Shares owned by the Minority Shareholders divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, multiplied by (b) 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the month prior to the date the Purchase Option Exercise Notice is given. For example, if the Year 2 Projections arc met and the EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the month prior to the date the Purchase Option Exercise Notice is given is $6.7 million, a multiple of 5 will provide for a total Company valuation of $33.5 million. 49% of said amount is $16,415,000. The Minority Shareholders will be paid their pro rata share of said amount upon the closing of the Purchase Option. |
6. | Non-Performance Exit Right; Right of First Offer; Drag-Along Right. |
6.1 | Non-Performance Exit Right. In the event that the Company has (a) Sales in Year 2 that are less than $18,750,000 and (b) EBITDA in Year 2 that is less than $5,011,500, then SGS will have the right (the Non-Performance Exit Right), exercisable in its sole discretion during Year 3, to sell all but not less than all of its Shares to a third party, subject to this Section 6. Subject to the Minority Shareholders First Offer Right as set forth in Section 6.2, SGS may exercise the Non-Performance Exit Right by providing to each Minority Shareholder at least ninety (90) days prior written notice any time within Year 3 (Non-Performance Exit Right Notice) concerning its intent to sell all of its Shares to a third party. |
Confidential | Page 8 |
6.2 | Right of First Offer. Upon the Minority Shareholders receipt of the Non-Performance Exit Right Notice, the Minority Shareholders shall collectively have the right to provide an offer to SGS (the First Offer Right) to purchase all but not less than all of SGSs Shares. All Minority Shareholders are not required to participate, but if one or more of the Minority Shareholders choose to exercise their First Offer Right then a Minority Shareholder authorized by all of the Minority Shareholders shall deliver, on behalf of all Minority Shareholders, to SGS and the Company, within fifteen (15) days after receiving the Non-Performance Exit Right Notice, a written notice executed by all Minority Shareholders. The written notice shall state the terms of the offer, which shall be binding on the Minority Shareholders, including the names of the Minority Shareholders that have elected to participate in the offer, the purchase price and terms pursuant to which the Minority Shareholders are willing to purchase all but not less than all of SGSs Shares. None of the Minority Shareholders can exercise the First Offer Right until all Minority Shareholders have agreed and executed the notice delivered to SGS; provided, that those electing not to participate shall so indicate in such notice. Failure of the Minority Shareholders to notify SGS of their offer to purchase all of SGSs Shares within such 15-day period, time being of the essence, shall constitute a waiver of the First Offer Right by the Minority Shareholders. If the Minority Shareholders elect to exercise their First Offer Right and SGS accepts such offer, then each participating Minority Shareholder shall purchase a pro rata portion of SGSs Shares based on the number of Shares owned by that Minority Shareholder participating in exercising First Offer Right divided by the total number of Shares owned by all Minority Shareholders participating in exercising the First Offer Right. |
6.3 | Acceptance/Rejection. SGS, in its sole discretion, shall accept or reject the Minority Shareholders offer within fifteen (15) days from the date of SGSs receipt of the Minority Shareholders offer. In the event that the Minority Shareholders properly exercise their First Offer Right and SGS accepts such offer, the Minority Shareholders must complete the purchase of all of SGSs Shares within sixty (60) days from the date of SGSs acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Minority Shareholders acquisition of all of SGSs Shares shall be conditioned upon the repayment of the ASC Loan in full at or before the closing of such acquisition. At the closing, SGS shall deliver to the Minority Shareholders the certificate(s) for all of SGSs Shares (duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers), against payment by the Minority Shareholders of the purchase price therefor. If the Minority Shareholders do not exercise their First Offer Right pursuant to Section 6.2 or SGS rejects the Minority Shareholders* offer, SGS may proceed with a sale of all of its Shares to a third party, subject to Section 6.4 below. |
6.4 | Drag Along Right. If SGS intends to accept a third party offer, then SGS shall deliver to each Minority Shareholder a notice of such third party offer (a Disposition Notice), specifying the purchase price and other terms and conditions of such third party offer and SGSs reasonable determination that the third party offer is more favorable to SGS than any offer of the Minority Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.2. |
Confidential | Page 9 |
Unless waived by all of the Minority Shareholders, SGSs determination shall be accompanied by a list of the terms and factors that SGS compared and its analysis in making its determination that the third party offer is more favorable than the offer of the Minority Shareholders. If the terms of such third party sale are more favorable to SGS than the offer by the Minority Shareholders, then the Minority Shareholders shall have the right to match the third party offer, notice of which (the Matching Best Offer Notice) must be given to SGS within ten (10) days after receipt of the Disposition Notice. If the Minority Shareholders do not match such third party offer or if the Minority Shareholders did not make an offer to SGS pursuant to Section 6.2, SGS will have the right, at its option (exercisable by written notice given to each Minority Shareholder within twenty (20) days of the Disposition Notice), to require the Minority Shareholders (the Drag-Along Right) to sell all of their Shares but not less than all of their Shares, to the third party, on the same terms and conditions as the Shares to be sold by SGS, and the Minority Shareholders shall deliver to counsel for SGS (to be held in escrow) at or before closing of the contemplated sale the certificates representing all Shares owned by them. If, within 120 days after the Disposition Notice, SGS has not completed the sale of all of its Shares (for a reason other than the failure of any Minority Shareholder to deliver certificates for his or her Shares) in accordance herewith, SGS shall return to the Minority Shareholders the Shares delivered by such shareholder for sale pursuant hereto, and all the restrictions on sale or other disposition contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect. In the event SGS does not exercise its Drag Along Right during the 20-day period, the Drag Along Right shall be deemed to be waived and SGS shall be permitted to sell its Shares to a third party that is reasonably acceptable to the Minority Shareholders holding at least a majority of the Voting Common Stock held by the Minority Shareholders, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. The Minority Shareholders shall notify SGS whether the third party is reasonably acceptable pursuant to this Section 6.4 within thirty (30) days of the Disposition Notice.
7. | Put/Call Right. |
7.1 | Grant of Put/Call Right. In the event that SGS has not exercised the Purchase Option or Non-Performance Exit Right in accordance with Section 5 or 6, respectively, on or before the last day of Year 3, then either SGS on one hand or all of the Minority Shareholders on the other hand, shall have the right (the Put/Call Right), to propose to the other a price at which such Shareholder would be willing to sell all of its Shares to the other (a Sale Offer), or purchase all of the Shares held by the other (a Purchase Offer). The Put/Call Right may be exercised by either SGS or the Minority Shareholders beginning on the first day following the last day of Year 3 by providing to the other and the Company written notice of the Sale Offer or Purchase Offer. If the Minority Shareholders choose to exercise their Put/Call Right, then a Minority Shareholder authorized by all of the Minority Shareholders shall deliver, on behalf of all Minority Shareholders, to SGS and the Company, a written notice executed by all Minority Shareholders. None of the Minority Shareholders can exercise the Put/Call Right until all Minority Shareholders have agreed and executed the notice delivered to SGS; provided, however, if the notice is to propose a Purchase |
Confidential | Page 10 |
Offer to SGS then not all Minority Shareholders executing the notice have to participate in purchasing the SGSs Shares; further provided, however, that if SGS rejects such a Purchase Offer, then all Minority Shareholders would be required to sell their Shares to SGS at the price specified in such Purchase Offer. The written notice delivered by the Minority Shareholders shall state the terms of the offer, which shall be binding on the Minority Shareholders, including the names of the Minority Shareholders that have elected to participate in the offer, the purchase price and other terms of such offer. Notwithstanding this Section 7.1, a Sale Offer proposed by the Minority Shareholders requires all Minority Shareholders to offer to sell all but not less than all of their Shares to SGS in accordance with this Section 7.1. If SGS and the Minority Shareholders both deliver written notice to the Company of its exercise of the Put/Call Right, the notice that was first received by the Company shall be the Put/Call Right that shall be exercised. |
7.2 | Sale Offer/Purchase Offer. The Party receiving a Sale Offer or Purchase Offer (the Recipient) will have thirty (30) days to provide written notice to the party making the proposal (the Offeror) of its acceptance or rejection of such offer. Any acceptance or rejection notice delivered to the Offeror by the Minority Shareholders must be agreed to and executed by all Minority Shareholders. |
(a) | If the Recipient accepts a Sale Offer, the Recipient will complete the purchase of the Offerers Shares within sixty (60) days following the date of its notice of acceptance to the Offeror for the purchase price proposed by the Offeror. If the Recipient rejects a Sale Offer, then the Offeror must purchase all of the Shares held by such Recipient on the same terms contained in the Sale Offer. The Offeror will complete the purchase of all the Recipients Shares within sixty (60) days from the date that the Recipient notifies the Offeror of its rejection. |
(b) | If the Recipient accepts a Purchase Offer, the Offeror will complete the purchase within sixty (60) days after the Recipient notifies the Offeror of its acceptance for the purchase price proposed by the Offeror. If the Recipient rejects a Purchase Offer, then the Recipient must purchase all of the Shares held by such Offeror on the same terms contained in the Purchase Offer. The Recipient will complete the purchase of all the Offerers Shares within sixty (60) days after the Recipient notifies the Offeror of its rejection. |
(c) | The acquisition of SGSs Shares by the Minority Shareholders pursuant to Section 7 is conditioned upon the repayment of the ASC Loan in full at or before the closing of such acquisition. The acquisition of the Minority Shareholders Shares by SGS pursuant to Section 7 is conditioned upon the repayment in full of the MAG Loan and the release of all MAG Guarantees or in lieu of such release an indemnity from SGS with respect only to the MAG Guarantees and MAG Collateral at or before closing of such acquisition. |
(d) | The purchase price for any purchase or sale transaction pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid in cash at the closing of such transaction. |
Confidential | Page 11 |
8. | Termination of Employment of Management Employees. |
8.1 | Termination. |
(a) | If any Management Employee is terminated by reason of death, disability or termination without Cause (as such terms are defined in such Management Employees employment agreement with the Company, or if there is no such employment agreement, then as Cause is defined in Section 14.3 of this Agreement), then the Minority Shareholders (other than the terminated Management Employee) will have the first right to purchase the Shares of such terminated Management Employee for the Termination Purchase Price set forth in Section 8.1 (c) (the Minority First Right). If they elect to exercise the Minority First Right, the Minority Shareholders shall do so by providing written notice executed by all Minority Shareholders (other than the terminated Management Employee and whether or not all Minority Shareholders are electing to participate in the offer), within thirty (30) days following the termination of employment of the Management Employee, to the Company and the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative). The Minority Shareholders written notice shall be delivered by a Minority Shareholder on behalf of all Minority Shareholders (as authorized by all of the Minority Shareholders), to the Company and the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative), including the names of the Minority Shareholders that have elected to participate in the offer for the Termination Purchase Price set forth in Section 8.1(c). Such offer shall be binding on all of the Minority Shareholders. Closing shall occur on the tenth day following delivery of such written notice. The Shares of the terminated Management Employee and the obligation to pay the Termination Purchase Price for such Shares shall be allocated among the Minority Shareholders exercising the First Offer Right based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by each participating Minority Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the number of Shares owned by all of the participating Minority Shareholders. Failure of the Minority Shareholders to notify the Company and the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) of the Minority Shareholders election to exercise the Minority First Right within the 30-day period, shall constitute a waiver of such right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Minority Shareholders cannot exercise the Minority First Right (a) with respect to Shares held by MAG or her estate or personal representative, (b) if the exercise of the Minority First Right would dilute MAGs Shares to less than 34%, or (c) if the exercise of the Minority First Right would increase the Shares held by the Minority Shareholders. If the Minority First Right is exercised by the Minority Shareholders pursuant to this Section 8.1, neither the Company, SGS, nor Alcoa will have any obligation to make any payment to a terminated employee for his or her Shares. |
Confidential | Page 12 |
(b) | In the event the Minority First Right cannot be exercised due to the penultimate sentence of Section 8.1 (a) or the Minority Shareholders do not exercise such right within thirty (30) days after the Management Employees termination pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Company will purchase the terminated Management Employees Shares for the Termination Purchase Price set forth in 8.1(c). The closing of such purchase by the Company will occur within 30 days after the Management Employees termination if the Minority First Right cannot be exercised and within 60 days after such termination if the Minority Shareholders fail to exercise the Minority First Right. To the extent that the Company is required to purchase Shares under this subsection and the Company is prevented by law from purchasing such Shares, the Company shall notify the Shareholders of that fact as promptly as practicable under the circumstances and each of the Shareholders other than the terminated Management Employee shall purchase from the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) and the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) shall sell the Shares of the terminated Management Employee for the Termination Purchase Price and upon the other terms required of the Company that number of such unpurchased Shares as equals the proportion which the number of Shares owned by each such remaining Shareholder at the termination date of the Management Employees employment bears to the total number of Shares then owned by all the remaining Shareholders. Each Shareholder must notify the other Shareholders whether it will participate in such purchase within 15 days following delivery of the notice from the Company referred to above. Any Shareholder who does not deliver such notice shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such purchase. Closing shall occur within 15 days following delivery of the last notice from all Shareholders to the other Shareholders or 30 days following delivery of the notice from the Company referred to above if any Shareholder fails to deliver a notice to the other Shareholders. To the extent that any Shareholder does not perform under this subsection, the Shares of the terminated Management Employee and the obligation to pay for those Shares shall be allocated to those Shareholders who do perform under this subsection, based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by each performing Shareholder and the denominator of which is the number of Shares owned by all the performing Shareholders. |
(c) | The purchase price (the Termination Purchase Price) will be an amount expressed and paid in cash in United States Dollars equal to the number of Shares owned by the terminated Management Employee divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company multiplied by the greater of: (a) 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the month prior to the date of termination of the Management Employee, or (b) the total Shareholders equity reflected on the Companys balance sheet on the last day of the month prior to the date of termination of the Management Employee. |

Confidential | Page 13 |
Minority Shareholders, whomever is purchasing the terminated Management Employees Shares pursuant to Section 8.1 (the Purchaser), upon the closing of any event described in this subsection (a True Up Event),. In the event that the Purchase Option is exercised pursuant to Section 5, the Purchaser, within sixty (60) days following the exercise of the Purchase Option, will recalculate the Termination Purchase Price for an amount equal to the number of Shares owned by the terminated Management Employee at termination divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company at termination multiplied by the greater of: (i) 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of Year 2, or (ii) total Shareholders equity on the last day of Year 2 reflected on the Companys balance sheet. If the recalculated termination purchase price set forth in the preceding sentence is greater than the Termination Purchase Price actually paid to the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative), then the Purchaser will pay an additional amount to such terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) equal to the difference between the original Termination Purchase Price and such recalculated termination purchase price. The Company may use the proceeds of any insurance policy paid for by the Company and payable to the Company with respect to a deceased employee in paying the original Termination Purchase Price and any subsequent amount payable by the Company as a result of such recalculated termination purchase price. In the event that the Company is sold to a third party before the end of Year 2, the Purchaser will recalculate the Termination Purchase Price for an amount equal to the number of Shares owned by the terminated Management Employee at termination divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company at termination multiplied by the greater of: (A) 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the date of the closing of the sale to the third party, or (B) total Shareholders equity as of the date of the closing of the sale reflected on the Companys balance sheet. In the event that the Company is liquidated before the end of Year 2, the Purchaser will recalculate the Termination Purchase Price for an amount equal to the number of Shares owned by the terminated Management Employee at termination divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company at termination multiplied by the greater of: (a) 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the date of liquidation or (b) total Shareholders equity as of the date of liquidation as reflected on the Companys balance sheet. |
8.2 | Voluntary Termination; Termination With Cause. If a Management Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company voluntarily or such employment is terminated by the Company with Cause (as defined in such Management Employees employment agreement with the Company, or if such Management Employee has no employment agreement with the Company, then as defined in Section 14.3 of this Agreement), the Minority Shareholders (other than the terminated Management Employee) will have the right to exercise their Minority First Right with respect to the Shares held by such terminated employee in accordance with Section 8.1, except that the purchase price for the terminated Management Employees Shares shall be the Alternate Termination Purchase Price (defined below). The Company, |
Confidential | Page 14 |
SGS or Alcoa will not have any obligation to make any payment to a terminated Management Employee for his or her Shares if the Minority First Right is exercised. If the Minority First Right cannot be exercised due to Section 8.1(a) or the Minority Shareholders do not exercise such right pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Company will purchase the terminated Management Employees Shares for a purchase price (the Alternate Termination Purchase Price), expressed and paid in United States Dollars, of an amount equal to the number of Shares owned by the terminated Management Employee divided by the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company multiplied by the total Shareholders equity on the last day of the month prior to the date of the Management Employees termination reflected on the Companys balance sheet. The closing of such purchase by the Company will occur within 30 days after the Management Employees termination if the Minority First Right cannot be exercised and within 60 days after such termination if the Minority Shareholders fail to exercise the Minority First Right. To the extent that the Company is required to purchase Shares under this subsection and the Company is prevented by law from purchasing such Shares, the Company shall notify the Shareholders of that fact as promptly as practicable under the circumstances and each of the Shareholders other than the terminated Management Employee shall purchase from the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) and the terminated Management Employee (or his or her estate or personal representative) shall sell the Shares of the terminated Management Employee for the Alternate Termination Purchase Price and upon the other terms required of the Company that number of such unpurchased Shares as equals the proportion which the number of Shares owned by each such remaining Shareholder at the termination date of the Management Employees employment bears to the total number of Shares then owned by all the remaining Shareholders. Each Shareholder must notify the other Shareholders whether it will participate in such purchase within 15 days following delivery of the notice from the Company referred to above. Any Shareholder who does not deliver such notice shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such purchase. Closing shall occur within 15 days following delivery of the last notice from all Shareholders to the other Shareholders or 30 days following delivery of the notice from the Company referred to above if any Shareholder fails to deliver a notice to the other Shareholders. To the extent that any Shareholder does not perform under this subsection, the Shares of the terminated Management Employee and the obligation to pay for those Shares shall be allocated to those Shareholders who do perform under this subsection, based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by each performing Shareholder and the denominator of which is the number of Shares owned by all the performing Shareholders. |

Confidential | Page 15 |
9.2 | Termination for Breach. |
(a) | In the event of a material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching party(ies) must provide written notice pursuant to Section 15.2 to the breaching party identifying and describing the material breach of this Agreement caused by the breaching party. If the breach is capable of being cured, then the breach must be cured within thirty (30) days following the date of the notice provided by the non-breaching party(ies). If the material breach has not been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party(ies) within the 30-day cure period, then the non-breaching party(ies) will have the right to purchase the breaching partys Shares by providing written notice within ten (10) days after the 30-day cure period; provided, however, that a non-breaching party(ies) cannot elect to purchase the breaching partys Shares until the breach is finally determined to be a material breach by a court having jurisdiction over the parties. The non-breaching party(ies) electing to purchase the breaching partys Shares shall, on a pro rata basis, purchase the Shares of the breaching party for a purchase price that is the breaching partys pro rata share of the greater of: (a) 85% multiplied by 5 times EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the month preceding the material breach by the breaching party, or (b) the total Shareholders equity on the last day of the month prior to the material breach by the breaching party reflected on the Companys balance sheet. |
(b) | A condition to the Minority Shareholders acquisition of SGSs Shares pursuant to Section 9 requires the repayment of the ASC Loan in full at or before the closing of such acquisition. A condition to SGSs acquisition of MAGs Shares requires the repayment of the MAG Loan in full and the release of all MAG Guarantees or in lieu of such release an indemnity from SGS with respect only to the MAG Guarantees and MAG Collateral in full at or before the closing of such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 9, the term breaching party as used with respect to the Minority Shareholders would only refer to the Minority Shareholder(s) actually in breach under this Agreement, not to all Minority Shareholders as a group. |
10. | Deadlock; Put/Call Right. |
10.1 | Deadlock. |
(a) | Negotiations.

Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, the President of SGS (SGSs President) and Mary Ann Gibson (MAG), representative of the Minority Shareholders, shall attempt to resolve the Deadlock through good faith negotiation. If SGSs President and MAG are unable to resolve the Deadlock within two weeks of the Deadlock, then |
Confidential | Page 16 |
the Alcoa Group President to whom SGSs President reports and MAG or her designated representative, shall attempt to resolve the Deadlock through good faith negotiation. If the Deadlock remains unresolved thirty (30) days from the date that the Deadlock occurred or as otherwise agreed by the parties, then either SGS or the Minority Shareholders may elect to exercise the Put/Call Right pursuant to Section 10.l(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements between and among them, including agreements with ASC or Alcoa, during the pendency of any dispute resolution procedure as specified herein and shall not interfere with, restrict or discourage the continuing performance of this Agreement and all other agreements between and among them and the business of the Company shall continue as previously conducted. |
(b) | Put/Call Right. |
(i) In the event the Deadlock has not been resolved pursuant to Section 10.1 (a), either SGS or the Minority Shareholders shall have the right to exercise the Put/Call Right by providing to the other and the Company written notice of the Sale Offer or Purchase Offer. If the Minority Shareholders choose to exercise their Put/Call Right, then a Minority Shareholder authorized by all of the Minority Shareholders shall deliver, on behalf of all Minority Shareholders, to SGS and the Company, a written notice executed by all Minority Shareholders. None of the Minority Shareholders can exercise the Put/Call Right until all Minority Shareholders have agreed and executed the notice delivered to SGS; provided, however, if the notice is to propose a Purchase Offer to SGS then not all Minority Shareholders executing the notice have to participate in purchasing SGSs Shares; further provided, however, that if SGS rejects such a Purchase Offer, then all Minority Shareholders would be required to sell their Shares to SGS at the price specified in such Purchase Offer. The written notice delivered by the Minority Shareholders shall state the terms of the offer, which shall be binding on the Minority Shareholders, including the names of the Minority Shareholders that have elected to participate in the offer, the purchase price and other terms of such offer. Notwithstanding this Section, a Sale Offer proposed by the Minority Shareholders requires all Minority Shareholders to offer to sell all but not less than all of their Shares to SGS in accordance with this Section. If SGS and the Minority Shareholders both deliver written notice to the Company of its exercise of the Put/Call Right, the notice that was first received by the Company shall be the Put/Call Right that shall be exercised.
(ii) The Purchase and Sale Offer under this Section 10.1(b) shall be conducted pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2.
11. | Financing. Subject to Section 2 of this Agreement, in the event the Company requires funding of more than $3.1 million of the ASC Loan, then one of the following may occur (but there shall not be any obligation on any of the Minority Shareholders, SGS, ASC or Alcoa): |
(a) | If any or all of the Minority Shareholders agree, such Minority Shareholders will either provide personal or third party debt financing for the full amount in excess of the ASC Loan without requiring any guaranty or security from ASC. Any personal debt financing shall be subordinate to the ASC Loan and any third party debt financing shall be on terms pari passu to the ASC Loan; or |
Confidential | Page 17 |
(b) | At SGSs discretion, if SGS and any or all of the Minority Shareholders agree, SGS and any or all of the Minority Shareholders pro rata shall contribute additional capital to the Company for the full amount in excess of the ASC Loan in exchange for Shares. If any Minority Shareholder does not contribute additional capital to the Company, then such non-participating Minority Shareholder(s) shall be diluted; or |
(c) | At SGSs discretion, if SGS and any or all of the Minority Shareholders agree, any or all of the Minority Shareholders, jointly, and SGS shall provide additional debt financing, pro rata for the full amount in excess of the ASC Loan subject to Section 11.1(a). |
12. | Dispute Resolution. |
12.1 | Negotiations. In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute between SGS and any or all of the Minority Shareholders arising or relating to this Agreement, the Shares or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the Dispute), SGSs President and MAG shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. If SGSs President and MAG are unable to resolve the Dispute within two weeks of the Dispute, then the Alcoa Group President to whom SGSs President reports and MAG or her designated representative, shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. If the Dispute remains unresolved thirty (30) days from the date that the Dispute occurred or as otherwise agreed by the parties, then the Dispute may be submitted for resolution pursuant to Section 12.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements between and among them, including agreements with Alcoa or ASC, during the pendency of any dispute resolution procedure as specified herein and shall not interfere with, restrict or discourage the continuing performance of this Agreement and all other agreements between and among them and the business of the Company shall continue as previously conducted. |
12.2 | Litigation. If the Dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 12.1, then either SGS or the Minority Shareholders, acting jointly, may initiate litigation to resolve the unresolved Dispute subject to Section 15.4. |
12.3 | Confidentiality. All negotiations conducted pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be confidential, treated as compromise and settlement negotiations under applicable rules of evidence, and inadmissible in any subsequent proceeding; provided, however, that any evidence proffered in the negotiations that is otherwise |
Confidential | Page 18 |
admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use under Section 12.1. |
12.4 | Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding SGS and the Minority Shareholders agreement to negotiate disputes pursuant to Section 12.1, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking and obtaining specific performance pursuant to Section 15.4. |
