ARTICLE III
Covenants
3.1 Participation Right.
(a) Subject to Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), and 3.1(d), in connection with the Companys Qualified IPO, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter of such Qualified IPO to offer to OMERS the right to purchase (at the Qualified IPO price) such number of additional shares of capital stock of the Company, which would provide the OMERS Group (together with all direct or indirect transferees of the OMERS Group) with an aggregate of up to 10.6% (or, if less, its percentage interest in the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock immediately prior to the Qualified IPO) of the shares (the IPO Shares) of Fully-Diluted Common Stock immediately after the Qualified IPO. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(a) (i) the managing underwriter may, in its sole discretion, modify or limit OMERS participation right under this Section 3-1(a), by providing written notice to the Company setting forth such underwriters reasons for such limitation or modification, including that such limitation or modification is necessary, because of marketing factors, for the success of the Qualified IPO, (ii) the provisions of Section 3.3(d) of the Stockholders Agreement shall not under any circumstances apply to the participation right provided in this Section 3.1(a), and (iii) the number of IPO Shares that OMERS would otherwise have the right to purchase under this Section 3.1(a) will be reduced on a share-for-share basis to the extent that the per share offering price of the IPO Shares is less than the Antidilution Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and, as a result thereof, OMERS receives shares from the Company pursuant to the application of the antidilution provisions of Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) The participation right provided in Section 3.1(a) shall be subject to (i) the modification and approval right described in Section 3.1(a), and (ii) the clearance by the SEC or the staff of the SEC of such arrangement without the need to maintain a resale prospectus in effect. If such approval or clearance is not received, or is reasonably unlikely to be received as a result of decisions, declarations, or policy statements released by the SEC or the staff of the SEC, then the participation right provided in Section 3.1(a) shall be substituted with a right to purchase a pro rata portion of the Common Stock scheduled to be sold in the Qualified IPO, where the number of shares to be offered hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the lesser of (i) up to 10.6% of the shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock immediately after the Qualified IPO, (ii) OMERS percentage interest in the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock immediately prior to the Qualified IPO, and (iii) such amount as the managing underwriter shall approve in accordance with Section 3.1(a), in a private placement (the Pre-IPO Private Placement); provided, however, the number of shares that OMERS would otherwise have the right to purchase under this Section 3.1(b) will be reduced on a share-for-share basis to the extent that the per share offering price of such shares is less than the Antidilution Price, and, as a result thereof, OMERS receives shares from the Company pursuant to the application of the antidilution provisions of Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall use its commercially
5
reasonable efforts to close the Pre-IPO Private Placement immediately before or contemporaneously with the Qualified IPO. It shall be a condition to the Companys obligation to issue and sell shares to OMERS in the Pre-IPO Private Placement that, if in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the managing underwriter it is necessary, OMERS execute and deliver to the Company, prior to the initial filing of the registration statement for the Qualified IPO, a binding subscription agreement to purchase shares in the Pre-IPO Private Placement at a price per share equal to the price at which the Common Stock will be initially offered and sold to the public, less the amount of the underwriting discount/commission that is paid to the underwriters for each:share of Common Stock sold in the Qualified IPO.
(c) The Pre-IPO Private Placement and any offer to be made to OMERS shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and other such self-regulating or quasi-public regulatory organizations. If OMERS elects to participate in the Pre-IPO Private Placement, it shall comply with all reasonable requirements and procedures required by the Company of OMERS, if any.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, in the event that (i) regulatory authorities continue to object to this arrangement after full discussion and negotiation with the Company and its legal counsel (with the participation of one legal counsel representing OMERS, if desired by OMERS); (ii) regulatory authorities allow the Company to fulfill its obligations under this arrangement only on the condition that rescission rights or other specific liability will be assumed by the Company or the underwriters or that special risks related to the Pre-IPO Private Placement be included in the prospectus filed in connection with the Qualified IPO; (iii) the resolution with regulatory authorities relating to this arrangement would delay the Qualified IPO beyond delays caused by comments from regulatory authorities in respect of other issues (provided, however, that the Company has used its good faith efforts (with the participation of one legal counsel representing OMERS, if desired by OMERS) to timely resolve any regulatory issues that arise in connection with this arrangement); or (iv) regulatory authorities do not allow the Company to issue securities of the Company to OMERS at the time of the Qualified IPO, then the Company and OMERS agree to negotiate in good faith to enter into an alternative transaction that as closely as practicable approximates the economic benefit of the Pre- IPO Private Placement.
3.2 Stock Options. For so long as the OMERS Group continues to own at least 33.3% of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by OMERS on the Closing Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, and other similar events), the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (including the OMERS Designee (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement)), (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ClientLogic Corporation 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and any similar plan or agreement to greater than 15% of the shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock as of the date hereof, or (ii) issue any Common Stock Equivalents that when combined with all then-outstanding Common Stock Equivalents would, in the aggregate, be exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into more than 10% of the Companys then-outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the 10% limitation set forth in clause (ii) above shall not apply to any Common Stock Equivalents that are issued as consideration in connection with any merger, acquisition, consolidation, share exchange, or other similar transaction or in exchange for options, stock, awards, or similar rights under any stock option plan or similar plan or arrangement of any Person or business acquired by the Company. The Company shall not issue or grant any option or similar right to purchase shares of Class B Voting Common Stock.
