The Company hereby grants to the Investor (a “Pre-emptive Stockholder”) a separate right to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party; provided, that the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall not apply to any Excluded Issuance.

(c) Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Pre-emptive Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all or any portion of its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities on the terms and conditions, including the purchase price, set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company (a “Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice”) specifying the number of New Securities it desires to purchase up to its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion. The delivery of a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by a Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be a binding and irrevocable offer by such Stockholder to purchase the New Securities described therein. The failure of a Pre-emptive Stockholder to deliver a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by the end of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section 3.01(c) with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.

 

(d) Sales to the Prospective Purchaser. Following the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to which Pre-emptive Stockholders declined to exercise the pre-emptive right set forth in this Section 3.01 on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced); provided, that: (i) such issuance or sale is closed within twenty (20) Business Day after the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such twenty (20) Business Day period for a reasonable time not to exceed forty (40) Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any third-party approvals); and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the price at which the New Securities are sold to the Prospective Purchaser is at least equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Pre-emptive Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01.

 

(e) Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase by the Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver the New Securities in certificated form, free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to such purchasers and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

(a) Offered Stock. At any time prior to the consummation of a Public offering, and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, this Section 4.03 and Section 4.04, the Company, first, and the Investor and each Stockholder holding Capital Stock (collectively with the Investor, the “ROFR Rightholders”), second, shall have a right of first refusal if any other Stockholder (the “Offering Stockholder”) receives a bona fide offer from any Person (a “Prospective Transferee”) that the Offering Stockholder desires to accept (a “Transfer Offer”) to Transfer all or any portion of any Shares (or applicable Stock Equivalents) it owns (the “Offered Stock”). Each time an Offering Stockholder receives a Transfer Offer for any Offered Stock from a Prospective Transferee, the Offering Stockholder shall first make an offering of the Offered Stock to the Company, first, and each ROFR Rightholder other than the Offering Stockholder (the “Applicable ROFR Rightholders”), second, all in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.03, prior to Transferring such Offered Stock to the Prospective Transferee. For any particular Transfer Offer, this right of first refusal and the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.03 shall be applied separately on a class-by-class and series-by-series basis for each class or series of Offered Stock, as applicable (including for purposes of calculating the respective ROFR pro rata portions in Section 4.03(d))

 

(b) Offered Stock Transfer Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right of first refusal in Section 4.03(a) shall not apply to any Transfer Offer or Transfer of Shares (or applicable Stock Equivalents) that are:

(ii) are made by a Tag-along Stockholder upon the exercise of its tag-along right pursuant to Section 4.04 after the Company and Applicable ROFR Rightholders have declined to exercise their rights in full under this Section 4.03; or

 

(iii) made pursuant to a Public Offering.

 

(c) Offer Notice.

 

(i) The Offering Stockholder shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Transfer Offer, give written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) to the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder stating that it has received a Transfer Offer for the Offered Stock and specifying:

 

(A)the class(es) or series and the applicable aggregate number of shares of Offered Stock to be Transferred by the Offering Stockholder;

(C)the purchase price per share for each applicable class or series of Offered Stock (which shall be payable solely in cash) and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer Offer; and
   
(D)the name of the Prospective Transferee who has offered to purchase such Offered Stock.

 

Stockholders AgreementPage 15
 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Transfer Offer involving more than one class or series of Offered Stock, the Offering Stockholder may deliver a single ROFR Notice to the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder.

 

(ii) The ROFR Notice shall constitute the Offering Stockholder’s offer to Transfer all of the Offered Stock to the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.03, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period described in Section 4.03(d)(iii).

 

(iii) By delivering the ROFR Notice, the Offering Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder that:

 

(A)the Offering Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Stock described in the ROFR Notice;
   
(B)the Offering Stockholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer the Offered Stock described in the ROFR Notice as contemplated by this Section 4.03; and
   
(C)the Offered Stock described in the ROFR Notice is free and clear of any and all liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d) Exercise of Right of First Refusal; Over-Allotment Option.

 

(i) Upon receipt of the ROFR Notice, the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to purchase the Offered Stock on the terms and purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice in the following order of priority: first, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of each class or series of Offered Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.03(d)(ii), and thereafter, the Applicable ROFR Rightholders shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of their respective ROFR Pro Rata Portions of each class or series of the remaining Offered Stock, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.03(d)(iii), to the extent the Company does not exercise its right in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders may only exercise their right to purchase the Offered Stock if, after giving effect to all elections made under this Section 4.03(d), no less than all of each class or series of Offered Stock will be purchased by the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders.

 

(ii) The initial right of the Company to purchase any Offered Stock shall be exercisable with the delivery of a written notice (the “Company ROFR Exercise Notice”) by the Company to the Offering Stockholder and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders within twenty (20) Business Day of receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Company Option Period”), stating the applicable number(s) (including where such number is zero) and type(s) of Offered Stock the Company elects to purchase on the terms and purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice.

For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of a Company ROFR Exercise Notice in which the Company has elected to purchase less than all the Offered Stock (such period, the “Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Stockholder (an “Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice”) specifying its desire to purchase its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock, on the terms and applicable purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Applicable ROFR Rightholder.

 

(iv) If the Applicable ROFR Rightholders pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) do not, in the aggregate, elect to purchase all of the remaining Offered Stock not purchased by the Company, each Applicable ROFR Rightholder electing pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) to purchase its entire ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock (each, an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder”) shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of any class or series of remaining Offered Stock not elected to be purchased by the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders. As promptly as practicable following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver a written notice to each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice”) stating the number(s) and type(s) of remaining Offered Stock available for purchase following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period. For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice (such period, the “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all or any portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Stockholder (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice”) specifying the number(s) and type(s) of additional remaining Offered Stock it desires to purchase on the terms and applicable purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder.

 

(v) The failure of the Company or any Applicable ROFR Rightholder to deliver a Company ROFR Exercise Notice or an Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice, respectively, by the end of the Company Option Period or the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, respectively, shall constitute a waiver of the applicable rights of first refusal under this Section 4.03 with respect to the Transfer of the Offered Stock, but shall not affect their respective rights with respect to any future Transfers.

 

Stockholders AgreementPage 17
 

 

(e) Allocation of Offered Stock. Upon the expiration of the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period or, if applicable, the expiration of the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, each class or series of remaining Offered Stock not selected for purchase in its entirety by the Company pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii) shall be allocated for purchase among the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders, as follows:

(A) the number of such class or series of remaining Offered Stock that such Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder elected to purchase in excess of its applicable ROFR Pro Rata Portion; and

 

(B) the product of (1) the number of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock not allocated under Section 4.03(e)(i) (and not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii)), multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of such class or series of remaining Offered Stock that such Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder was permitted to purchase pursuant to Section 4.03(e)(i), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of such class or series of remaining Offered Stock that all Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders were permitted to purchase pursuant to Section 4.03(e)(i);

 

provided, that if following the allocation under this Section 4.03(e)(ii) there are any remaining unallocated shares of and class or series of remaining Offered Stock, those shares shall be allocated to those Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders who have not yet been allocated their full share election of such class or series made pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iv) pro rata based on the number of remaining shares of such class or series elected to be purchased by those Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders until either no Offered Stock of such class or series remain or until such time as all Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders have been permitted to purchase all Offered Stock of such class or series that they elected to purchase.
