1.                                       Purchase of Shares.  From the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2005 (the “Term”), Seller hereby agrees to sell Shares to the Company from time to time, and the Company hereby agrees to purchase Shares from time to time, in an amount equal to its pro-rata ownership of the Company at the same price paid by the Company in each of its Open Market Purchases, as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and updated following each Open Market Purchase.  The closing date of each SIL Repurchase shall be each Monday during the Term (or the next business day) for all Open Market Purchases that occurred during the prior week, if any, or such earlier date as determined by Seller (each such date to be considered a “Closing Date”).  On each Closing Date, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Shares to Seller in immediately available funds by check or by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, and Seller shall deliver stock certificates representing the Shares together with an executed

 



 

assignment separate from certificate transferring the Shares to the Company or otherwise properly endorsed for transfer.  The Company’s officers shall thereafter cause the Shares to be cancelled or held by the Company as treasury stock.

 

2.                                       Representations and Warranties of Seller.  Seller represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)                                  Seller is the owner of the Shares to be sold hereunder, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, security agreements, options, claims, charges or restrictions except as set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and Seller dated as of June 2, 2004.

 

(b)                                 Following each Closing Date under this Agreement, Seller and its affiliates shall maintain voting control over a majority of the Common Stock.

 

(c)                                  Seller has full power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement, which has been duly executed and delivered by, and evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Seller in accordance with its terms.  Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(d)                                 Seller has entered into this Agreement based on its own investigation and analysis and that of its advisors, including legal counsel.

 

(e)                                  Seller has had an opportunity to review the federal, state and local tax consequences of the sale of the Shares to the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own tax advisors.  Seller is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.  Seller understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability, if any, that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

3.                                       Arms Length Transaction.  Each party has conducted its own investigation and analysis and freely and independently bargained for this Agreement at arms length without reliance on any other party and each party is receiving reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.

4.1.                              Governing Law.  This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties.  All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by the state and federal courts located in City of Chicago, State of Illinois, and each party hereto agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively with such courts.

4.4.                              Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
