3.4                               RIGHT OF CO-SALE.

 

(a)                                 In the event the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives fail to exercise their respective rights to purchase all of the Key Holder Shares subject to Section 3.3 hereof, following the exercise or expiration of the rights of purchase set forth in Section 3.3, then the Key Holder Transferor shall deliver to the Company, each Preferred Holder and each Non-Transferring Key Executive written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) that each Preferred Holder and Non-Transferring Key Executive shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to such Key Holder Transferor with a copy to the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such Transfer of Key Holder Shares on the same terms and conditions.  Such notice shall indicate the number of shares of Preferred Holder Shares or Key Holder Shares up to that number of shares determined under Section 2.4(b) such Preferred Holder or Non-Transferring Key Executive wishes to sell under his or her right to participate.  To the extent one or more of the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Key Holder Shares that such Key Holder Transferor may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.

participation in the Transfer by promptly delivering to such Key Holder Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

 

(i)                                    the type and number of shares of the Common Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; or

 

(ii)                                that number of shares of the Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred which is at such time convertible into the number of shares of the Common Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of the Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred in lieu of shares of the Common Shares, such Co-Sale Participant shall convert such Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred into shares of the Common Shares and deliver shares of the Common Shares as provided in Section 3.4(c)(i) above.  The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.

(d)                                 The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant delivers to such Key Holder Transferor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Key Holder Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co- Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale.  To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, such Key Holder Transferor shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Key Holder Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder Transferor shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice.

 

(e)                                  The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Preferred Holders or Non- Transferring Key Executives hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of the Key Holder Shares made by such Key Holder Transferor shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent Transfers of Key Holder Shares subject to Section 2.

 

(f)                                   To the extent that the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives do not elect to participate in the sale of the Key Holder Shares subject to the Co-Sale Notice, such Key Holder Transferor may, not later than sixty (60) days following delivery to the Company of the Co-Sale Notice, enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the Transfer of such Key Holder Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice within thirty (30) days of such agreement on terms and conditions not more materially favorable to the transferor than those described in the Co-Sale Notice.  Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions materially more favorable than those described in the Co-Sale Notice, as well as any subsequent
