of that customer relationship; or
(d) call on any TMI Acquisition Candidate, with the knowledge of
that Person's status as an TMI Acquisition Candidate, for the purpose of
acquiring that Person or arranging the acquisition of that Person by any
Person other than TMI.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Stockholder may own and hold as a
passive investment up to 6% of the outstanding Capital Stock of a competing
Entity if that class of Capital Stock is publicly traded.
Section 10.2 DAMAGES. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic
losses to TMI as a result of any breach by a Restricted Stockholder of his
covenants in Section 10.01, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage
that could be caused to TMI for which it would have no other adequate remedy,
each Restricted Stockholder agrees that TMI may enforce the provisions of
Section 10.01 by injunctions and restraining orders against that Restricted
Stockholder if he breaches any of those provisions.
Section 10.3 REASONABLE RESTRAINT. The parties hereto each agree that
Sections 10.01 and 10.02 impose a reasonable restraint on the Restricted
Stockholders in light of the activities and business of TMI on the date hereof,
the current business plans of TMI and the investment by each Restricted
Stockholder in TMI as a result of the Merger.
Section 10.4 SEVERABILITY; REFORMATION. The covenants in this Article X
are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant in
this Article X is not intended by any party hereto to, and shall not, affect the
provisions of any other covenant in this Article X. If any court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions
set forth in Section 10.01 are unreasonable as applied to any Restricted
Stockholder, the parties hereto,
12
including that Restricted Stockholder, acknowledge their mutual intention and
agreement that those restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent the court
deems reasonable, and thereby shall be reformed to that extent as applied to
that Restricted Stockholder and any other Restricted Stockholder similarly
situated.
Section 10.5 INDEPENDENT COVENANT. All the covenants in this Article X are
intended by each party hereto to, and shall, be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action of any Restricted Stockholder against TMI, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by TMI of any covenant in this Article X. It is specifically agreed
that the period specified in Section 10.01 shall be computed in the case of each
Restricted Stockholder by excluding from that computation any time during which
that Restricted Stockholder is in violation of any provision of Section 10.01.
The covenants contained in this Article X shall not be affected by any breach of
any other provision of this Agreement by any party hereto.
Section 10.6 MATERIALITY. The Company and each Stockholder, severally and
not jointly with any other Person, hereby agree that this Article X is a
material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.1 TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party hereto will
comply with each covenant for which provision is made in Section 11.01 of the
Uniform Provisions (the text of which Section hereby is incorporated herein by
this reference) to be performed or observed by that party.
Section 11.2 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF TMI COMMON STOCK.
(a) During the two-year period ending on the second anniversary of
the IPO Closing Date (the "Restricted Period") no Stockholder voluntarily
will, except pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) sell, assign, exchange,
transfer, encumber, pledge, distribute, appoint or otherwise dispose of
(A) any shares of TMI Common Stock received by any Stockholder in the
Merger or (B) any interest in (including any option to buy or sell) any of
those shares of TMI Common Stock, in whole or in part and TMI will have no
obligation to, and shall not, treat any such attempted transfer as
effective for any purpose; or (ii) engage in any transaction, whether or
not with respect to any shares of TMI Common Stock or any interest
therein, the intent or effect of which is to reduce the risk of owning the
shares of TMI Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section 2.04 (including,
for example engaging in put, call, short-sale, straddle or similar market
transactions); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section 11.02 shall not
restrict
13
any transfer of TMI Common Stock acquired by a Stockholder pursuant to
Section 2.04 to any of that Stockholder's Related Persons who agree in
writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.01 and this Section
11.02. The certificates evidencing the TMI Common Stock delivered to each
Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.05 will bear a legend substantially in
the form set forth below and containing such other information as TMI may
deem necessary or appropriate:
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF
REORGANIZATION AMONG THE ISSUER, THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND
THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE VOLUNTARILY SOLD, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED,
TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, PLEDGED, DISTRIBUTED, APPOINTED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, AND THE ISSUER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE
EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED VOLUNTARY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, EXCHANGE,
TRANSFER, ENCUMBRANCE, PLEDGE, DISTRIBUTION, APPOINTMENT OR OTHER
DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THOSE SHARES, DURING THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD
ENDING ON [DATE THAT IS THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE IPO CLOSING
DATE] (THE "RESTRICTED PERIOD"). ON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE
HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE ISSUER AGREES TO REMOVE THIS
RESTRICTIVE LEGEND (AND ANY STOP ORDER PLACED WITH THE TRANSFER
AGENT) AFTER THE DATE SPECIFIED ABOVE.
(b) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly with any other
Person, (i) acknowledges that the shares of TMI Common Stock to be
delivered to that Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.04 (A) have not been
and, except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if applicable,
will not be registered under the Securities Act and therefore may not be
resold by that Stockholder without compliance with the Securities Act and
(B) will, as a result of their restrictions on transferability which are
imposed by this Agreement during the Restricted Period, have a value
materially less at the Effective Time than the value of then freely
tradeable shares of TMI Common Stock, and (ii) covenants that none of the
shares of TMI Common Stock issued to that Stockholder pursuant to Section
2.04 will be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, transferred
or otherwise disposed of except after full compliance with all the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
of the SEC and applicable state securities laws and regulations. All
certificates evidencing shares of TMI Common Stock issued pursuant to
Section 2.04 will bear the following legend in addition to the legend
prescribed by Section 11.02(a):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
IF THE HOLDER HEREOF COMPLIES WITH THAT LAW AND OTHER APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS.
14
In addition, certificates evidencing shares of TMI Common Stock issued
pursuant to Section 2.04 to each Stockholder will bear any legend required
by the securities or blue sky laws of the state in which that Stockholder
resides.
Section 11.3 BROKERS AND AGENTS. The Stockholders jointly and severally
represent and warrant to TMI that the Company has not directly or indirectly
employed or become obligated to pay any broker or similar agent in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby and agree, without regard to the
Threshold Amount limitations set forth in Article IX, to indemnify TMI against
all Damage Claims arising out of claims for any and all fees and commissions of
brokers or similar agents employed or promised payment by the Company.
Section 11.4 ASSIGNMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement and
the rights of its parties may not be assigned (except by operation of law) and
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the
successors of TMI, and the heirs and legal representatives of the Stockholders
(and, in the case of any trust, the successor trustees of that trust). Neither
this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document is intended, or shall be
construed, deemed or interpreted, to confer on any Person not a party hereto or
thereto any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder, except as provided in
Section 6.05(b) or 11.14, in Article IX or as otherwise provided expressly
herein or therein.
Section 11.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT; WAIVERS. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Stockholders, the
Company, Newco and TMI and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
both written and oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This

be waived, if, but only if, that amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
is in writing and signed by the Majority Stockholders, the Company and TMI. The
waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be
construed or interpreted as, or deemed to be, a waiver of any of its other term
or conditions.

constitute one and the same instrument.

hand, or by TMI, on the other hand, if the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement to take place at the Closing shall not have been

prior to or at the Closing or thereafter on the IPO Closing Date;
