Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, no Party may acquire any Shares or make or suffer to be made any transfer of all or any part of that Party’s Shares to any Person. Any Acquisition or transfer other than as permitted in this Article III shall be a breach of this Agreement.

3.2.1 Shares may be transferred to a Hamm Family Member.

Hamm, shares may be transferred to a Person other than a Hamm Family Member, in a Market Transaction or otherwise, but only with prior Trustees’ Approval.

3.2.5 Tagalong Rights. Shares may be transferred pursuant to the tagalong provisions set forth in this Section 3.2.5. If any Shareholder or Shareholders (whether one or more, collectively referred to as the “Controlling Shareholders”) receive a bona fide offer (a “Purchase Offer”) to transfer, whether by sale or exchange or otherwise, that number of Shares comprising a majority of all Shares Subject to this Agreement, or if less, that number of Shares which comprises a majority of all issued and outstanding Shares of Company Stock, and who want to accept the Purchase Offer, may do so upon compliance with all of the following provisions. The Controlling Shareholders shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) of the Purchase Offer to the Managing Shareholder and to all other Shareholders (the “Noncontrolling Shareholders”), which Offer Notice shall include a copy of the Purchase Offer and, to the extent not included in the Purchase Offer, shall describe (i) the number Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”); (ii) the transfer price, the form of consideration, and terms of payment; (iii) the identity of the “Purchase Offeror”; and (iv) all other material terms of the Purchase Offer. The Offer Notice shall be dated and given to all of the Noncontrolling Shareholders and to the Managing Shareholder at approximately the same time.

Each Noncontrolling Shareholder shall have the right to give notice (a “Tagalong Notice”) to the Managing Shareholder and to the Controlling Shareholders requesting that the Controlling Shareholders cause a number of that Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Shares to be transferred to the Purchase Offeror at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Offer Notice. The Tagalong Notice must be given within fifteen (15) days following the date that the Offer Notice was last given by the Controlling Shareholders to any Noncontrolling Shareholder.

The Tagalong Notice must state that the Noncontrolling Shareholder is exercising the Noncontrolling Shareholder’s tagalong rights hereunder and shall set forth the number of the Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Shares which the Noncontrolling Shareholder requests the Controlling Shareholders to cause to be transferred (the “Tagalong Shares”). The number of Tagalong Shares which the Noncontrolling Shareholder may request the Controlling Shareholders to transfer to the Purchase Offeror pursuant to the Tagalong Notice shall not exceed a number equal to (i) the quotient of the number of Offered Shares divided by the number of all Shares held by the Noncontrolling Shareholders multiplied times; (ii) the number of Shares held by the Controlling Shareholder. The Controlling Shareholders shall not be obligated to transfer any of the Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Shares to the Purchase Offeror, but if the Controlling Shareholders do transfer any Shares, then the Controlling Shareholders must include the Tagalong Shares in the transfer.

The Controlling Shareholders and the Noncontrolling Shareholders shall execute all agreements or other instruments as and when reasonably requested by the Managing Shareholder in order to fully carry out and effect the transactions described in this Section 3.2.5. The Managing Shareholder shall have the power to adopt rules and procedures for this process, and may vary or amend any of the rights set forth herein in any reasonable manner, so long as Managing Shareholder give adequate notice to all Shareholders.

3.2.6 If the Controlling Shareholders propose to transfer any or all of the Offered Shares and give the Offer Notice as required in Section 3.2.5, then the Controlling Shareholders shall have the right to require each Noncontrolling Shareholder to transfer a number of that Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Shares (the “Dragalong Shares”) to the Purchase Offeror at the same price and on the same terms and conditions of payment as contained in the Offer Notice by giving notice thereof (a “Dragalong Notice”) to the Managing Shareholder and to all of the Noncontrolling Shareholders.

The number of Dragalong Shares which the Controlling Shareholders may require each of the Controlling Shareholders to transfer to the Purchase Offeror pursuant to the Dragalong Notice shall not exceed a number equal to (i) the quotient of the number of Offered Shares divided by the number of all Shares held by the Controlling Shareholders, multiplied times (ii) the number of Shares held by the Noncontrolling Shareholder. A Noncontrolling Shareholder shall only be obligated to transfer the Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Dragalong Shares in conjunction with the actual transfer by the Controlling Shareholders of the Offered Shares.

The Controlling Shareholders and the Noncontrolling Shareholders shall execute all agreements or other instruments as and when reasonably requested by the Managing Shareholder in order to fully carry out and effect the transactions described in this Section 3.2.6. The Managing Shareholder shall have the power to adopt rules and procedures for this process, and may vary or amend any of the rights set forth herein in any reasonable manner, so long as Managing Shareholder give adequate notice to all Shareholders.

The provisions of this Section 3.2.6 shall not apply to unvested Shares issued pursuant to the Benefit Plan that are not transferable.

Hamm fails to serve for any reason, including death, resignation, or Incapacity, then the Managing Shareholders shall be Shelly Lambertz and Hilary Hamm. If either of them fails to serve for any reason, then the other shall serve, and if both of them shall fail to serve for any reason, then the Trustees by a Majority Vote shall appoint one or two Managing Shareholders to fill the vacancy.

5.1. Meetings of Shareholders. This Section 5.1 sets forth rules and procedures for meetings of the Shareholders. However, the Shareholders may at any time modify these rules and procedures or establish new rules and procedures for meetings by a Majority Vote as they deem appropriate.

(a) Regular Meetings. The Managing Shareholder shall establish times, places, and dates for regular meetings of the Shareholders.

No other notice shall be required for any regularly scheduled meeting.

(b) Special Meetings. A special meeting of the Shareholders may be called by the Managing Shareholder at any time. A special meeting shall be called by the Managing Shareholder upon the request of Shareholders owning 25% or more of the Shares Subject to this Agreement. All Shareholders shall receive not less than five (5) business days’ notice of the time, place, and date of a special meeting unless all Shareholders waive notice of a special meeting by giving a notice of waiver to the Managing Shareholder.

Such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

(d) Voting. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all decisions and actions by the Shareholders shall be made by a Majority Vote of all Shareholders, regardless of the number of Shareholders that may be in attendance at a meeting at which the vote is held.

5.2. Action Without a Meeting. Any action or decision of the Shareholders may be taken or made by written consent without a meeting, but only if such consent is in writing, sets forth the decision made or action taken, and is signed by those Shareholders whose affirmative votes would be necessary if the action were taken at a meeting of the Shareholders. If any action is taken by written consent, then a copy of that written consent shall be provided to any Shareholder who did not sign the written consent.

6.3. Agreement By Shareholders to Exercise Their Voting Rights in Accordance With Voting Resolutions. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that he, she, or it, after having received notice of any Voting Resolution, shall vote his, her, or its Shares as directed in the Voting Resolution. The failure by a Shareholder to vote his, her or its Shares in the manner set forth in the Voting Resolution shall be a breach of this Agreement. The Managing Shareholder may require evidence in form and substance suitable to the Managing Shareholder as to of how any Shareholder is voting or has voted his, her, or its Shares.
