FOGDOG, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF
SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Nike USA, Inc. ("Holder") is
entitled at any time prior to expiration of this Warrant to subscribe for and
purchase Six Million One Hundred Seventy-One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty-
Four (6,171,524) shares (as adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof) of the
fully paid and nonassessable Series C Preferred Stock (the "Shares") of Fogdog,
Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), at the price of $1.0294 per
share (such price as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof is
herein referred to as the "Warrant Price"), subject to the provisions and upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the term "Series
C Preferred Stock" shall mean the Company's presently authorized Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, any securities of the Company into or for which
such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may hereafter be changed, converted or
exchanged, including the underlying Common Stock, and the term "Date of Grant"
shall mean September 24, 1999.
Upon the conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock into Common Stock
pursuant to the Company's charter documents, this Warrant shall represent a
warrant to purchase the Company's Common Stock for the same number of shares of
Common Stock that such Series C Preferred Stock would have converted into had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such conversion.
1. Term.
(a) Period of Exercise. Subject to earlier termination under
Subparagraph 1 (b), this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant through March 24, 2003
(the "Expiration Date").
Notwithstanding such Expiration Date, the rights and obligations of the parties
hereto shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms set forth
herein.
(b) Company Acquisition. In the event the Company or the Majority
Holders (as defined below) should enter into any written agreement providing for
a Sale of the Company (as defined below), the Company shall give written notice
to the Holder of such intended Sale of the Company not fewer than five (5) days
prior to the closing date thereof. This Warrant shall automatically be exercised
pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof one (1) business day preceding the closing date
of such Sale of the Company (the "Exercise Date"), if not previously exercised;
provided however, that such exercise shall be contingent upon the closing of the
Sale of the Company actually occurring. The term "Sale of the Company" shall
mean a sale, lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock,
securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or
assets of the Company or the consolidation or merger of the Company with one or
more other corporations or other entity or person, or any corporate
reorganization, in which shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company's
voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization,
other than a merger effected solely for the purpose of reincorporation. The term
"Majority Holders" shall mean holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the
Company's then outstanding Series A, B, C and D Convertible Preferred Stock,
measured as if all such Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock.
2. Exercise.
(a) Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant.
Subject to Paragraph 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this
Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
---------
executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the
Company, by check or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the then applicable
Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased.
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant,
certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within
thirty days of receipt of such notice and, unless this Warrant has been fully
exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares,
if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised
shall also be issued to the Holder within such thirty-day period. Upon receipt
by the Company of this Warrant and such notice of exercise form, together with
the applicable Warrant Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to be
the Holder of record of the Shares, notwithstanding that certificates
representing the Shares shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder or
that such Shares are not then set forth on the stock transfer books of the
Company.
(b) Other Property. In case cash, property or securities other
than Common Stock shall be payable, deliverable or issuable by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant, then references to Series C Preferred Stock in this
Warrant shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and as nearly as may be,
to such cash, property or other securities.
(c) Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the
manner provided above in Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares
equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal
2
office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares computed using the
following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
X = The number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common
Stock) to be issued to Holder.
Y = The number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common
Stock) purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of exercise),
or, if this Warrant is exercised in part, the number of shares
for which this Warrant is then being exercised.
A = The fair market value of one share of Series C Preferred Stock
(or Common Stock) at the date of exercise.
B = The Warrant Price (in effect on the date of exercise).
For purposes of this Section 2(c), fair market value of one share of the Series
C Preferred Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors; provided, however, (i) if the exercise is done in connection with or
contingent upon the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock, the
fair market value per share shall be the product of (a) the price to public as
set forth in the final prospectus relating to such initial public offering and
(b) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C
Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of exercise, or (ii) after the
initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, if the Company's Common
Stock is traded on a national exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair
market value per share shall be the average price per share at which trading of
the Company's Common Stock closed on the exchange on which such stock is listed,
on the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending one (1) trading day prior to
the date of exercise.
3. Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereunder or any Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make
a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares.
The number and kind of securities purchasable under the exercise of
this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Combinations. In case the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding
shares of Series C
3
Preferred Stock in shares of its Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) subdivide the
then outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock into a greater number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) combine the then outstanding shares of
its Series C Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Series C
Preferred Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation), then (A) in the case of clauses (i) and
(ii) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on
the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, (B) in the case of clause (iii)
the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the
effective date of such combination shall be proportionately increased, and (C)
in the case of clause (iv) the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a
new Warrant providing that the holder of this Warrant shall upon exercise of
such new Warrant be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of capital
stock of the Company which it would have owned or been entitled to receive
immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised in full
immediately prior to such time. The aggregate exercise price of such new Warrant
shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant at the time of
such exchange; and effective provision shall be made in such new Warrant so that
the provisions set forth herein of the protection of the exercise rights of the
Holder of this Warrant (including, without limitation, this Section 4) shall
thereafter be made applicable as nearly as reasonably may be, to such new
Warrant. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a) for a dividend or
distribution shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
dividend or distribution and an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a)
for a subdivision, combination or reclassification shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of the subdivision, combination or
reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any action
listed above shall be taken. In any case in which this Section 4(a) shall
require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record
date for an event, the adjustment shall be subject to the occurrence of such
event.
(b) Adjustment for Reclassifications, Consolidation or Merger.
In the case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Series C Preferred
Stock (other than those referred to in Section 4(a) other than a change in par
value), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation or any merger of the Company into another corporation or of another
corporation into the Company (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value, or as a result
of a subdivision or combination to which Section 4(a) hereof is applicable) in,
the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock), or in case of any sale or transfer to
another company or entity (other than by mortgage or pledge) of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, the Company (or
its successor in such consolidation or merger) or the purchaser of such
properties and assets shall made appropriate provision so that the holder of
this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale
or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock for
which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, and the
holder of this Warrant shall have no other exercise rights under these
provisions; provided, that effective provision shall be made, in a new Warrant
to be issued
4
to the Holder of this Warrant (the aggregate exercise price of which shall be
equal to the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant), so that the provisions
set forth herein for the protection of the exercise rights of the Holder of this
Warrant (including, without limitation, this Section 4) shall thereafter be made
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any other shares of stock and
other securities and property deliverable upon exercise of such new Warrant; and
provided, further, that any such resulting or surviving corporation or purchaser
shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon the exercise of the new
Warrant, such shares, securities or property as the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in connection with such
transaction, and to make provisions for the protection of the exercise rights as
above provided.
(c) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price pursuant to paragraph 4(a) or (b), the number of Shares
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share (with one-
half share rounded up to the next whole share), to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
(d) Notice of Other Events. The Company shall provide written
notice to the Holder of any dividend or distribution that (i) is not otherwise
provided for in this Section 4, and (ii) would result in the Holder's receipt of
cash, property or securities of the Company pursuant to the Company's Articles
of Incorporation, as amended, if the Holder were, at the record date for such
dividend or distribution, a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Such
notice shall be provided to Holder at least five (5) days prior to the record
date for such dividend or distribution.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Holder and the Company.
(a) Representations and Warranties of the Holder.
(i) Purchase Entirely for Own Account: Restricted
Securities. This Warrant is made with the Holder in reliance upon Holder's
representation to the Company, which by Holder's execution of this Warrant
Holder hereby confirms, that the Shares are being acquired for investment for
its own account, and Holder has no present intention of selling or distributing
the Shares or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares
(the "Conversion Stock"). The Holder also represents and warrants that it does
not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person,
with respect to the Warrant or the Conversion Stock. The Holder understands that
the Shares and the Conversion Stock to be purchased by it have not been
registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder hereby confirms
that it has been informed that the Shares may not be resold or transferred
unless the Shares are first registered under the Act or unless an exemption from
such registration is available. Accordingly, the Holder hereby acknowledges that
it is prepared to hold the Shares and the Conversion Stock for an indefinite
period and that it is aware that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated under the Act is not presently available to exempt the
sale of such securities from
5
the registration requirements of the Act. Should Rule 144 subsequently become
available, the Holder is aware that any sale of such securities effected
pursuant to the Rule may, depending upon the status of the Holder as an
"affiliate" or "non-affiliate" under the Rule, be made only in limited amounts
in accordance with the provisions of the Rule, and that in no event may any of
such securities be sold pursuant to the Rule until the Holder has held such
securities for the requisite holding period.
(ii) Disclosure of Information. The Holder believes it has
received all of the information it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase the Warrant. The Holder has made its own
investigation whether or not to invest in the Shares and the Conversion Stock.
The Holder further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company's business and the
terms and conditions pursuant to which it will purchase such securities.
(iii) Experience. The Holder is experienced in evaluating and
investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies such as
the Company and is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501
under the Act. Holder represents and warrants that it has not been organized for
the purpose of acquiring the Warrant.
(iv) Restrictive Legends. In order to reflect the restrictions
on disposition of the securities issuable hereunder, the stock certificates
representing the Shares and the Conversion Stock will be endorsed with the
following legend:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE
SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH
RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH SECURITIES ACT."
(v) Authority. Holder has all requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Warrant and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Warrant and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of Holder. This Warrant has been
duly executed and delivered by Holder and constitutes the valid and binding
obligations of Holder. The execution and delivery of this Warrant do not, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict
with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or
lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation or loss of a benefit under (i) any provision of
the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Holder, or (ii) any mortgage,
indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession,
franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to Holder or any of its properties or assets. No consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
6
declaration or filing with, any government entity, is required by or with
respect to Holder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Warrant
by Holder or the consummation by Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(vi) Further Limitations on Disposition. Holder further agrees
not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant, the Shares or
the Conversion Stock unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for
the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section and:
(A) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such registration statement; or
(B) (i) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) Holder shall
have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory
to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such
shares under the Act.
(b) Representation and Warranties of the Company.
(i) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company

to date and currently in effect.
(ii) Issuance of Securities. The issuance, sale and delivery of
this Warrant in accordance with this Warrant, the issuance and delivery of the
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the issuance and delivery of
the Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and all
such Shares Conversion Stock have been duly reserved for issuance. The Shares,
when so issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with
the provisions of this Warrant, and the Conversion Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Shares, when issued upon such conversion in accordance with
the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(iii) Authority for Warrant. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of this Warrant and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action. This Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies.
7
The sale of the Shares, and the subsequent conversion of the Shares into the
Conversion Stock, are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights that
have not been properly waived or complied with.
(iv) Governmental Consents. No consent, approval,
order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,
declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required on the part
of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Warrant and
the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares, except such filings as
shall have been made prior to and shall be effective on and as of the date of
this Warrant, and except for filings required by federal and state securities
laws.

and/or the number of shares, or securities or property, issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall execute and

reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant
Price or Prices and the resulting number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after

hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to

shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or
upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization,
issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of

9. "Market Stand-Off" Agreements.
(a) The Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of
duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, following the effective date of the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, Holder shall not, to the extent requested by
the Company and such underwriter, directly or

any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose
of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the

(i) such above-described agreement shall be
applicable only to the first such registration statement of the Company which
covers Common Stock to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten

(ii) all officers and directors of the Company enter
into similar agreements; and
(iii) such above-described market stand-off time period
shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.
(b) The Holder will sign, concurrently with the execution
of this Warrant, the form of "Lock-Up Agreement" and the form of NASD
Questionnaire that Credit Suisse First Boston has provided to the Company's
shareholders.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or
anything contained in the Company's Registration Rights Agreement, as amended
and in effect from time to time (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the
Holder also agrees that for the three-year period after the closing date of the
Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock, Holder shall not directly
or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without
limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer

the Company's Common Stock;
(ii) on and after the second-year anniversary of the

offering of the Company's Common Stock; and
(iii) on and after the third-year anniversary of the
closing date of the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, the
Holder may transfer up to an additional aggregate of thirty percent (30%) of the

offering of the Company's Common Stock.
(d) In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares (and
the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Shares) until the end of
such period.
9
(e) The market standoff provision of paragraph (c) hereof
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the market standoff provisions
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement and the other provisions of this
Warrant.
(f) The provisions of this Section 9 shall terminate upon a
Sale of the Company.
10. Covenants of the Holder and the Company.
(a) Standstill Covenant. The Holder hereby covenants and
agrees that from the time that the Company first sells its securities pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Act, covering the initial
public offering and sale of the Company's Common Stock, until March 24, 2003,
neither the Holder nor any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates,
agents and advisors shall without the prior written consent of the Company:
(i) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire,
directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, any voting securities or
direct or indirect rights to acquire any voting securities of the Company or any
subsidiary thereof, or of any successor to or person in control of the Company,
or any assets of the Company or any subsidiary or division thereof or of any
such successor or controlling person;
(ii) make, or in any way participate, directly or
indirectly, in any "solicitation" of "proxies" to vote (as such terms are used
in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")), or seek to
advise or influence any person or entity with respect to the voting of any
voting securities of the Company;
(iii) make any public announcement with respect to, or
submit a proposal for, or offer of (with or without conditions) any
extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its securities or
assets;
(iv) form, join or in any way participate in a "group"
as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), in connection with any of the foregoing;
(v) otherwise act or seek to control or influence the
management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company;
(vi) take any action that could reasonably be expected
to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility
of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) above; or
(vii) request the Company or any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents or advisors, directly or indirectly, to amend or
waive any provision of this Section 10(a).
The Holder shall promptly advise the Company of any inquiry or
proposal made by or to it with respect to any of the foregoing.
10
(b) Transfers to Competitors. Except in connection with a Sale of the
Company, the Holder hereby covenants and agrees that neither the Holder nor any
of its affiliates shall at any time, directly or indirectly, effect a Transfer
of any of the Company's securities to an entity or person that is "Competitive"
with the business of the Company. Any person or entity who sells sporting goods
in a retail format, including online, mail order or brick and mortar, or any new
channel of distribution shall be considered "Competitive" with the business of
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 10(b), this Section
10(b) shall not restrict sales by the Holder in the open market pursuant to a
broker/dealer securities transaction or to an affiliate of the Holder that may
be Competitive with the business of the Company.
(c) Merger or Acquisition of the Company. If at any time hereafter a
Sale of the Company shall occur, then the Holder shall vote all of its shares of
capital stock in favor of such transaction or series of related transactions,
and all actions required in connection therewith, including but not limited to,
amending the then existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company, if eighty
percent (80%) or more of the shares of capital stock of the Company held by the
holders of the Company's then outstanding preferred stock (other than the
Holder) vote in favor of such transaction. If the Company or any shareholder of
the Company shall receive an offer from a third party to purchase fifty percent
(50%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company either for cash or securities and if such purchase or sale would not
otherwise trigger a vote of the shareholders of the Company and, following
appropriate shareholder approval, impose a statutory obligation to participate
in the transaction, then if eighty percent (80%) or more of the shares of
capital stock of the Company held by the holders of the Company's then
outstanding preferred stock (other than the Holder), agree to participate in
such sale, then the Holder shall agree to participate fully in any such sale.
(d) The Company's Right of First Refusal.
(i) If at any time prior to the Company's initial public
offering of its Common Stock, except in connection with a Transfer by Holder to
an affiliate, the Holder proposes to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of the any of the Company's securities held by Holder, to one
or more third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties in a
transaction, then the Holder shall give the Company written notice of its
intention (the "Transfer Notice"), describing the offered shares ("Offered
Shares"), the identity of the prospective transferee and the consideration and
the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be
made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Holder has received a firm
offer from the prospective transferee and in good faith believes a binding
agreement for Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth, and shall also
include a copy of any written proposal or letter of intent or other agreement
relating to the proposed Transfer. The Company shall have an option for a period
of twenty (20) days from receipt of the Transfer Notice to purchase the Offered
Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions
as described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase
option, in whole or in part, by notifying the Holder in writing, before
expiration of the initial twenty (20) day period, as to the number of such
shares which it wishes to purchase. If the Company gives the Holder notice that
it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be
by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be
11
purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the
scheduled closing therefor.
(ii) If the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered
Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section within the period
provided, the Holder shall be entitled for a period of sixty (60) days
thereafter to complete the proposed Transfer upon the terms and conditions
specified in the Transfer Notice. If the Holder has not so transferred the
Offered Shares during such period, the Holder shall not thereafter make a
