STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT
This Stock Restriction Agreement is entered into by and between the
undersigned shareholders of HomeGold Financial, Inc. ("HomeGold").
WHEREAS, HomeGold is entitled to claim net operating loss carry
forwards for federal income tax purposes, the tax benefits of which will be
substantial and material in the future; and
WHEREAS, the tax benefits of the HomeGold loss carry forwards will be
greatly reduced, and possibly lost entirely, if an "Ownership Change", within
the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, occurs; and
WHEREAS, it is in the mutual best interest of the principal
shareholders of HomeGold to take steps to insure that an Ownership Change will
not take place and therefore each of the
undersigned shareholders of HomeGold has agreed to the restrictions set forth
below upon their purchase and sale of the shares of HomeGold.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained, each of the undersigned shareholders agrees that prior to any
purchase or sale of the Common Stock of HomeGold, such party will give written
notice to the Company, at the address below, specifying whether such purchase or
sale will be an open market transaction or a purchase by a specific person or a
sale to a specific person and will not consummate such purchase or sale if the
Company advises such party within five (5) days of its receipt of such written
notice, that such proposed purchase or sale could reasonably be expected to
create an "Owner Shift" within the meaning of Section 382(g)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code. In this connection each party will provide the Company such
additional information as it may reasonably request in order to make that
determination set forth above, including the identity of the proposed seller or
purchaser unless it is proposed that such sale take place as a market
transaction.
The foregoing restrictions shall terminate upon any of the following:
(a) the expiration of three years after the Closing of the merger of
HomeGold and HomeSense Financial Corp.;
(b) an Ownership Change, as defined in Section 382(g) of the Internal
Revenue Code;
(c) HomeGold shall have ceased to have at least $5,000,000 of net
operating loss carry forwards; or
(d) the HomeGold Board shall determine that the restrictions are no
longer necessary.
Each of the undersigned shareholders agree that HomeGold shall be entitled to
treat any attempted purchase or sale in violation of the terms of this Agreement
as null and void and HomeGold shall be entitled to disregard such attempted
purchase or sale. It is agreed that HomeGold's stock transfer agent may be given
"stop transfer" instructions consistent with the foregoing.
Each of the undersigned agrees to make available to HomeGold all
certificates representing HomeGold stock owned by the undersigned, so that such
certificates may be legended to note the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
This Agreement may be signed in counterparts.
HOMEGOLD FINANCIAL, INC.
