APPROVAL OF TRADES

SECTION 1.1  Notice of Intent to Trade.  Any Stockholder with an intent to Trade any Registered Common Stock (each, an “Initiating Stockholder”) shall provide the Company and the other Stockholders with at least two (2) full business days’ prior written notice (the “Trade Proposal”) of such Initiating Stockholder’s intent to Trade such Registered Common Stock; provided, however, that no such prior written notice is required for an Exempt Trade (as defined in Section 1.3(a)).  The Stockholders agree that the notice periods set forth in this Agreement shall supersede any other notice periods agreed upon by the Stockholders. The Trade Proposal shall include (i) the anticipated date of the proposed Trade, (ii) the number of shares proposed to be Traded, and (iii) whether or not the proposed Trade will involve an underwriter or underwriters.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Trade” shall include an offer, pledge, sale, contract to sell, the sale of any option or contract to purchase, the purchase of any option or contract to sell, the granting of an option, right or warrant to purchase or other transfer or disposition of the Company’s securities, including the Registered Common Stock.
 
 

 
SECTION 1.2  Approval of Trade Proposal.  (a)   Within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of a Trade Proposal, each other Stockholder will notify the Company and the Initiating Stockholder in writing whether or not it approves the proposed Trade (each, a “Response to Trade Proposal”).  Each Response to Trade Proposal shall include (i) whether or not the Stockholder approves the Proposed Trade, (ii) if so, whether or not the Stockholder elects to participate in the Trade pro rata or to some other degree, and (iii) if not, any counter-proposal terms (each, a “Counterproposal”). If no Response to Trade Proposal is provided within twenty-four (24)-hours of receipt of a Trade Proposal, such Stockholder shall be deemed to approve the Trade Proposal.
(b) (i)                Each Trade Proposal will require the approval of shares of Unregistered Common Stock representing of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the total number of shares of Unregistered Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Approval Threshold”).1  The shares of Unregistered Common Stock owned by a Stockholder who submits a Trade Proposal are included in the number of shares necessary to satisfy the Approval Threshold.
(ii)            If the Approval Threshold is satisfied, then the Initiating Stockholder shall cause the Company to notify the other Stockholders in writing (such approved Trade, an “Approved Trade”), and the Initiating Stockholder shall cause the Company to coordinate with the participating Stockholders, including the Initiating Stockholder (such Stockholders, the “Participating Stockholders”), to effect the Approved Trade.  If the Approved Trade will be underwritten, then, each Participating Stockholder shall, within twelve (12) hours of receiving notice of the Approved Trade, complete a Redemption Notice, the form of which is set forth on Exhibit A.
(iii)            If the Approval Threshold is not satisfied, then the Initiating Stockholder shall cause the Company to notify the other Stockholder in writing (such rejected Trade, a “Rejected Trade”).  To the extent a Response to Trade Proposal contains a Counterproposal, the Initiating Stockholder will have the opportunity to submit to the Company and the other Stockholders an updated Trade Proposal with the same information set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 1.1, and the other Stockholders shall, within twelve (12) hours of receipt of such updated Trade Proposal, submit an updated Response to Trade Proposal with the same information set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 1.2(a); provided, that there shall be no subsequent Counterproposals. If the Approval Threshold is satisfied for the updated Proposed Trade, then the terms set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii) with respect to the Approved Trade shall govern.
(iv)            For purposes of clarity, if an Initiating Stockholder provides a Trade Proposal to sell 1.0 million shares of Registered Common Stock, and all of the other Stockholders have elected to participate pro rata, then the total number of shares of Registered Common Stock sold shall be 1.0 million, with each Participating Stockholder participating up to its pro rata ownership therein.
SECTION 1.3  Exceptions to Approval Requirements.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Stockholder may Trade up to an aggregate of fifty thousand (50,000) shares of Registered Common Stock per trading day, in one or more Trades, without seeking the approval of the other Stockholders (each such Trade, an “Exempt Trade”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Exempt Trade applies to each Stockholder in the aggregate, whether such Stockholder is one investor (e.g., Jeff Uttz) or consists of multiple investors (e.g., Randall Garutti and The Randall J. Garutti 2014 GST Trust).
(b)        Any Stockholder who enters into an Exempt Trade shall notify the Company in writing of such Exempt Trade as follows: (i) for any Stockholder that independently prepares Form 4s, Schedule 13Ds and any other similar filing (collectively, the “Filings”), by emailing a hyperlink to the as-filed Filings promptly after filed; and (ii) for any Stockholder for which the Company prepares the Filings, by emailing the number of shares of Registered Common Stock sold and the Trade price, within twenty-four (24) hours of the Exempt Trade.
 
 
 
 
 


1 Each Stockholder shall have the right to receive Registered Common Stock in exchange for such Stockholder’s Unregistered Common Stock.  In such event, as long as the Registered Common Stock is not Traded by such Stockholder by the time of any Trade Proposal, then the Registered Common Stock will be included in the numerator (representing the number of shares in favor of a Trade Proposal) and the denominator (representing the number of Unregistered Common Stock and not yet Traded Registered Common Stock against which the 66 2/3 vote is calculated).
