Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Access Beyond"), ▇▇▇▇▇ Microcomputer Products,
Inc., a Georgia corporation ("▇▇▇▇▇") and ____________________________
("Shareholder") who is an affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇.
RECITALS
A. This Affiliate Agreement is entered into pursuant to that certain
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of July 29, 1997 between Access
Beyond and ▇▇▇▇▇ (as such may be amended the "Merger Agreement") which provides
(subject to the conditions set forth therein) for the merger of a wholly owned
subsidiary of Access Beyond ("Newco") with and into ▇▇▇▇▇ in a reverse
triangular merger (the "Merger"), with ▇▇▇▇▇ to be the surviving corporation of
the Merger, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and
the Agreement of Merger to be entered into between Newco and ▇▇▇▇▇ in the form
attached to the Merger Agreement (the "Agreement of Merger"). The Merger
Agreement and the Agreement of Merger are collectively referred to herein as the
"Merger Agreements." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
Affiliate Agreement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger
Agreement.
B. The Merger Agreements provide that, in the Merger, the shares of
▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ Series A Preferred Stock that are issued
and outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger will be converted into
shares of Access Beyond Common Stock and the shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ Series B Preferred
Stock that are issued and outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger will
be converted into shares of Access Beyond Series A Stock, all as more
particularly set forth in the Merger Agreement
C. Shareholder understands that Shareholder is deemed an "affiliate" of
▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and that any shares of Access Beyond capital stock acquired by the
Shareholder in the Merger may be disposed of only in conformity with the
limitations described herein.
A G R E E M E N T
1. TAX TREATMENT, RELIANCE. Shareholder understands and agrees that it
is intended that the Merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization for
federal income tax purposes and that such treatment requires that a sufficient
number of former stockholders of ▇▇▇▇▇ maintain a meaningful continuing equity
ownership interest in Access Beyond after the Merger. Shareholder understands
that the representations, warranties and covenants of Shareholder set forth
herein will be relied upon by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Access Beyond and their respective
counsel and accounting firms and by ▇▇▇▇▇' stockholders. Shareholder will rely
on Shareholder's own tax advisers as to the tax
6
attributes of the Merger to Shareholder and understands that neither Access
Beyond, nor Access Beyond's counsel, ▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇' counsel has guaranteed nor
will guarantee to Shareholder that the Merger will be a tax-free reorganization,
nor shall any of them have any liability to Shareholder as a result of issuing
any opinion in respect thereof that may be required in connection with any
registration statement under the 1933 Act.
2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER.
Shareholder represents, warrants and covenants as follows.
(a) Authority; Affiliate Status. Shareholder has all requisite
right, power, legal capacity and authority to execute, deliver and perform this
Affiliate Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. Shareholder
further understands and agrees that Shareholder is deemed to be an "affiliate"
of ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of the 1933 Act and, in particular, Rule 145
promulgated under the 1933 Act ("Rule 145"),
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Owned. Attachment 1 hereto sets forth all
shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ capital stock and any other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ owned by
Shareholder, including all securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ as to which Shareholder has sole
or shared voting or investment power, and all rights, options and warrants to
acquire shares of capital stock or other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ granted to or held
by Shareholder (such shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ capital stock, other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇
and rights, options and warrants to acquire shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ capital stock and
other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ are hereinafter collectively referred to as "▇▇▇▇▇
Securities"). As used herein, the term "Expiration Date" means the earliest to
occur of (i) the closing, consummation and effectiveness of the Merger, or (ii)
such time as the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its
terms.
(c) New ▇▇▇▇▇ Securities. As used herein, the term "New ▇▇▇▇▇
Securities" means, collectively, any and all shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ capital stock,
other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ and rights, options and warrants to acquire shares of
▇▇▇▇▇ capital stock and other securities of ▇▇▇▇▇ that Shareholder may purchase
or otherwise acquire any interest in (whether of record or beneficially), on and
after the Effective Date of this Affiliate Agreement and prior to the Expiration
Date. All New ▇▇▇▇▇ Securities will be subject to the terms of this Affiliate
Agreement to the same extent and in the same manner as if they were ▇▇▇▇▇
Securities.
(d) Merger Securities. As used herein, the term "Merger
Securities" means, collectively, all shares of Access Beyond Common Stock, and
Access Beyond Series A Stock that are or may be issued by Access Beyond in
connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreements, or to any former holder of ▇▇▇▇▇ options, warrants or rights to
acquire shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock, and any securities that may be paid as a
dividend or otherwise distributed thereon or with respect thereto or issued or
delivered in exchange or substitution therefor or upon conversion thereof.
(e) Transfer Restrictions on Merger Securities. Shareholder
has been advised that the issuance of the shares of Access Beyond Common Stock
and Access Beyond Series A
2
7
Stock in connection with the Merger is expected to be effectuated pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the 1933 Act, and that the provisions
of Rule 145 will limit Shareholder's resales of such Merger Securities.
Shareholder accordingly agrees not to sell, transfer, exchange, pledge, or
otherwise dispose of, or make any offer or agreement relating to, any of the
Merger Securities and/or any option, right or other interest with respect to any
Merger Securities that Shareholder may acquire, unless: (i) such transaction is
permitted pursuant to Rules 145(c) and 145(d) under the 1933 Act; or (ii) legal
counsel representing Shareholder, which counsel is reasonably satisfactory to
Access Beyond, shall have advised Access Beyond in a written opinion letter
reasonably satisfactory to Access Beyond and Access Beyond's legal counsel, and
upon which Access Beyond and its legal counsel may rely, that no registration
under the 1933 Act would be required in connection with the proposed sale,
offer, exchange, pledge or other disposition of Merger Securities by
Shareholder, or (iii) a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the
Merger Securities proposed to be sold, transferred, exchanged, pledged or
otherwise dispose of, describing the manner and terms of the proposed sale,
transfer, exchange, pledge or other disposition, and containing a current
prospectus, shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") and been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act, or (iv) an
authorized representative of the SEC shall have rendered written advice to
Shareholder (sought by Shareholder or counsel to Shareholder, with a copy
thereof and all other related communications delivered to Access Beyond and its
legal counsel) to the effect that the SEC would take no action, or that the
staff of the SEC would not recommend that the SEC take action, with respect to
the proposed disposition of Merger Securities if consummated. Nothing herein
imposes upon Access Beyond any obligation to register any Merger Securities
under the 1933 Act.
(f) Intent. Shareholder does not now have, and as of the Effective
Time of the Merger will not have, any present plan or intention to engage in a
sale, exchange, transfer, distribution, pledge, disposition or any other
transaction which would result in a direct or indirect disposition (a "Sale") of
shares of Access Beyond voting common stock to be issued to ▇▇▇▇▇ shareholders
in the Merger, which shares would have an aggregate fair market value, as of the
Effective Time of the Merger, in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair market
value, immediately prior to the Merger, of all outstanding shares of ▇▇▇▇▇
stock. For purposes of this representation, shares of ▇▇▇▇▇ stock (or the
portion thereof) (a) with respect to which a ▇▇▇▇▇ shareholder receives
consideration in the Merger other than Access Beyond voting common stock and/or
(b) with respect to which a Sale by a ▇▇▇▇▇ shareholder who owns 5% or more of
▇▇▇▇▇ stock or is an officer or director of ▇▇▇▇▇ occurs during the pre-merger
period shall be considered shares of outstanding ▇▇▇▇▇ stock exchanged for
Access Beyond voting common stock in the Merger and then disposed of pursuant to
a prearranged plan.
3. LEGENDS. Shareholder also understands and agrees that stop transfer
instructions will be given to Access Beyond's transfer agent with respect to
certificates evidencing the Merger Securities to enforce Shareholder's
compliance with Shareholder's representations in Sections 2(e) and Shareholder's
compliance with applicable securities laws regarding the Merger Securities, and
that there will be placed on the certificates evidencing such Merger Securities
a legend providing substantially as follows:
