3.             RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
 
3.1    Company Right of First Refusal.  The Company shall have the right to purchase (the “Company’s Right of First Refusal”) all or any part of the Offered Stock, if the Company gives written notice of the exercise of the right to the Selling Shareholder within thirty (30) days (the “Company’s Refusal Period”) after the Selling Shareholder’s Notice is deemed to have been delivered to the Company and the Investors (pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof).  If the Company does not intend to exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal in full or if the Company is not lawfully able to repurchase the Offered Stock, the Company will send written notice thereof (the “Company’s Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder and the Investors at least ten (10) days before the expiration of the Company’s Refusal Period.  The Company’s Expiration Notice will specify the Offered Stock subject to the Secondary Right of First Refusal described below.  In the event that a Selling Shareholder is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, such Selling Shareholder shall be excluded from the Board of Directors’ determination as to whether the Company’s should exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal under this Section 3.1.
 
3.2           Secondary Right of First Refusal.  If the Company does not exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal, then each Investor and Founder (as defined in the Series B Purchase Agreement) will have a right of first refusal (the “Secondary Right of First Refusal”) to purchase all of the Offered Stock not purchased by the Company.  The Secondary Right of First Refusal may be exercised as follows:
 
(a)           Each Investor and Founder (each, a “Right Holder”) desiring to purchase any or all of the Offered Stock not Purchased by the Company must, within the fifteen (15) day period commencing on the date the Company’s Expiration Notice is deemed to have been delivered to the Investors (pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof), give written notice to the Selling Shareholder and to the Company of such Right Holder’s election to purchase any of the Offered Stock, and the number of shares and type of Offered Stock that such Right Holder desires to purchase.  If the total number of shares specified in the elections of Right Holders exceeds the number of shares of Offered Stock available for purchase, then (unless the Right Holders agree otherwise in writing) each Right Holder electing to purchase will have the right to purchase that number of shares of Offered Stock that is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Offered Stock available for purchase by a fraction (i) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Stock then held by such Right Holder, and (ii) the denominator of which will be the sum of the total number of shares of Stock then held by all Right Holders electing to purchase the Offered Stock (the “ROFR Pro Rata Share”); provided that in the event any Right Holder declines to purchase its full ROFR Pro Rata Share of the Offered Stock, then the Company shall promptly give written notice to each Right Holder who has timely agreed to purchase at least its full ROFR Pro Rata Share of such Offered Stock (each, a “Purchasing Right Holder”) of such Purchasing Right Holder’s oversubscription right to purchase a portion of the non-Purchasing Right Holder’s ROFR Pro Rata Share, on a pro rata basis according to the relative ROFR Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Rights Holders, at any time within five (5) days after receiving such over-allotment notice (the foregoing fifteen (15) plus five (5) day period, the “Secondary Refusal Period”)
 

 
-3-

 

(b)           Within ten (10) days after expiration of the Secondary Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “Secondary Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder and the Right Holders specifying (i) that all of the Offered Stock was subscribed by the Company and/or Right Holder exercising their respective Rights of First Refusal or (ii) that the Transfer proposed by the Selling Shareholder is subject to a Right of Co-Sale, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, with respect to the Offered Stock not purchased by the Company or Right Holders in accordance with this Section 3.
 
3.3           Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Offered Stock to be purchased by the Company or by a Right Holder exercising its respective Right of First Refusal under this Agreement will be the Offered Price, and will be payable as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.  If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company, the Right Holders and the Selling Shareholder absent fraud or error.
 
3.4           Payment.  Payment of the purchase price for Offered Stock purchased by the Company or by a Right Holder exercising its respective Right of First Refusal will be made within ten (10) days after the date of the Secondary Expiration Notice.  Payment of the purchase price will made, at the option of the Company or, as the case may be, by a Right Holder, (a) in cash (by check), (b) by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Shareholder to the Company or such Right Holder, as the case may be, or (c) by any combination of the foregoing.
 
3.5           Rights of Shareholder.  Upon the date that payment is made for the Offered Stock purchased by the Company and/or the Right Holders pursuant to their respective Rights of First Refusal hereunder, the Selling Shareholder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Stock and the Selling Shareholder will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Stock to be surrendered to the Company for cancellation, and, as to purchase by Right Holder(s), for transfer to the purchasing Right Holder(s).
 
3.6           Selling Shareholder’s Right to Transfer.  If the Right Holders have not elected pursuant to their Secondary Right of First Refusal to purchase all of the Offered Stock not purchased by the Company, then, subject to the Right of Co-Sale, the Selling Shareholder may transfer that portion of the Offered Stock permitted to be sold by the Selling Shareholder to any person named as a Proposed Transferee in the Selling Shareholder’s Notice, at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such transfer (a) is consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Selling Shareholder’s Notice and (b) is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If the Offered Stock is transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the transferee(s) of the Offered Stock will thereafter hold such Offered Stock free of the Secondary Right of First Refusal, the Right of Co-Sale and all other restrictions imposed by this Agreement; provided that nothing herein will release any such transferee from any obligations or restrictions that may be imposed on such transferee under the Stock Restriction Agreement.  If the Offered Stock is not so transferred during such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Selling Shareholder will not transfer any of such Offered Stock without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement.

4.            RIGHT OF CO-SALE.
 
4.1           Right of Co-Sale.  If the Company and Right Holders have waived or failed to timely exercise their Rights of First Refusal to acquire all of the Offered Stock, each Investor will have the right to participate in the transfer of any Offered Stock not transferred to the Company or to the Right Holders (the “Remaining Offered Stock”) in the manner set forth herein (the “Right of Co-Sale”).  Pursuant to this Section 4, each Investor may transfer to the Proposed Transferee(s) identified in the Selling Shareholder’s Notice such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Offered Stock, by giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder within ten (10) days after the date of the Secondary Expiration Notice; specifying the number of shares and type of Stock that such Investor desires to transfer to each Proposed Transferee by exercising the Right of Co-Sale.  For purposes of this Section 4, an Investor’s “Pro Rata Share” will be defined as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock then owned by such Investor, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Stock then owned by all Investors having a Right of Co-Sale hereunder plus the number of shares of Stock held by the Selling Shareholder who proposes the Transfer.
 
4.2    Consummation of Co-Sale.  Each Investor, in exercising the Right of Co-Sale, may effect such Investor’s participation in such Transfer by delivering to the Selling Shareholder at the Closing of the transfer of Offered Stock to such transferee one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, representing such Stock to be Transferred by such Investor.  In the event that the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, an Investor may (at such Investor’s option) convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock to the prospective purchaser.  The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.  At the Closing, such certificates or other instruments will be transferred and delivered to the Proposed Transferee(s) set forth in the Selling Shareholder’s Notice in consummation of the transfer of the Offered Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Selling Shareholder’s Notice, and Selling Shareholder will remit, or will cause to be remitted, to Investor within seven (7) days after such Closing that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to which Investor is entitled by reason of such Investor’s participation in such transfer pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale.  In the event that any Investor electing to exercise such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale fails to deliver the stock certificates as specified above at the Closing, such Investor shall have waived his, her or its Right of Co-Sale therefor and the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to complete the Transfer at the Closing without participation by the waiving Investor.  If all of the Offered Stock is not Transferred at the Closing, however, the Selling Shareholder must again comply with the Right of Co-Sale requirements with respect to any future proposed Transfer thereof.
 

 
-5-

 

4.3    Multiple Series, Classes or Types of Stock.  If the Remaining Offered Stock consists of more than one series or class or type of Stock, each Investor has the right to purchase or transfer hereunder, as the case may be, such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of each such series, class or type of Stock; provided, however, that as to the Right of Co-Sale, (a) if such Investor does not hold any of such series, class, or type of Stock, and the Proposed Transferee is not willing, at the Closing, to purchase some other series, class or type of Stock from such Investor as part of such Investor’s Pro Rata Share (provided Investor has not elected to convert its shares into the series or class of the Remaining Offered Stock as set forth in Section 4.2 above) or (b) if the Proposed Transferee is unwilling to purchase any Stock from such Investor at the Closing (each such circumstance being referred to herein as an “Incomplete Co-Sale”), then, the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to Transfer the Offered Stock representing such Investor’s Pro Rata Share at the Closing and Investor will have the put right (the “Put Right”) set forth in Section 5.2 hereof.
 
5.           REFUSAL TO TRANSFER; PUT RIGHT.
 
5.1           Refusal to Transfer.  Any attempt by any Selling Shareholder to transfer any Stock in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void.  Without first obtaining the written approval of each Investor, the Company will not (a) transfer on its books any Stock that has been sold, gifted or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement or (b) treat as owner of such Stock, or accord the right to vote to, or pay dividends to, any purchaser, donee or other transferee to whom such Stock may have been so transferred.
 
5.2           Put Right.  If a Selling Shareholder transfers any Stock in contravention of an Investor’s Right of Co-Sale under this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), or if an Incomplete Co-Sale occurs and the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof apply, the relevant Investor may require such Selling Shareholder to purchase from such Investor, for cash or such other consideration as the Selling Shareholder received in the Prohibited Transfer or Incomplete Co-Sale, that number of shares of Stock (of the same class, series or type as transferred in the Prohibited Transfer or Incomplete Co-Sale, if such Investor then owns Stock of such class, series or type, and otherwise of Common Stock) having a purchase price equal to the aggregate purchase price such Investor would have received in the closing of such Prohibited Transfer or Incomplete Co-Sale if such Investor had exercised and been able to consummate such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale with respect thereto (the Investor’s “Put Right”).  An Investor may exercise such Investor’s Put Right by delivery of written notice to the Selling Shareholder and the Company (a “Put Notice”) within ten (10) days after Investor becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer or Incomplete Co-Sale.  The closing of such sale to the Selling Shareholder under such Investor’s Put Right will occur within seven (7) days after the date of such Investor’s Put Notice.
 
6.           MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT.  Each Shareholder hereby agrees that upon the prior written request of the Company or the managing underwriter, it will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (l80) days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Shareholder or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this Section  6 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the shares of stock of each Shareholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

8.            RESTRICTIVE LEGEND AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.
 
8.1           Legend.  Each Shareholder understands and agrees that the Company will cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing ownership of Stock by the Shareholder:

8.2    Stop Transfer Instructions.  Each Shareholder agrees, to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, that the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” certificates or instructions and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records.
 
9.            TERMINATION AND WAIVER.

10.2        Successors and Assigns; Inclusion Within Certain Definitions.  This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives and, except for a Transfer of Offered Stock to a transferee in full compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any transferee of Stock.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Investor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of such Investor.  For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of an Investor if he, she or it, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Investor, including, without limitation, any partner, officer, director, member, manager or employee of Investor and any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by or under common control with one or more managers or general partners of or shares the same management company with such Investor.  Any permitted transferee of a Shareholder who is required to become a party hereto will be considered a “Shareholder” for purposes of this Agreement without the need for any consent, approval or sig­nature of any party hereto.
 
10.3        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto.  If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.
