For purposes of this Section 2.3(a), to the extent any Transfer of Common Stock by a Stockholder reduces the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder below the number of shares held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof such Transfer shall constitute a Transfer of Common Stock acquired prior to the date hereof.

2.4. Drag-Along Rights.
(a) If (1) the Board approves a Sale of the Company or the Company's stockholders receive a tender offer (other than a self tender) with respect to a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and (2) each Major Stockholder that owns 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock votes or consents in writing to such Sale of the Company or agrees in writing to so vote or consent or, if applicable, tenders pursuant to such tender offer all (but not less than all) Common Stock of which such Major Stockholder is a Beneficial Owner (any Sale of the Company or tender offer that meets the requirements set forth in clauses (1) and (2), an “Approved Sale”), then, promptly after the satisfaction of both conditions, Major Stockholders that individually own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at the time of the Board approval, acting jointly with each other such Major Stockholder (or individually if there is only one Major Stockholder owning 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at such time), may issue a written notice to all Other Stockholders stating that the transaction constitutes an Approved Sale and specifying the material terms of such Approved Sale (the “Company Transaction Notice”). From and after the date on which any Other Stockholder is in receipt of the Company Transaction Notice, such Other Stockholder shall vote for (whether at a meeting of stockholders or by written consent), cooperate with and raise no objections against, waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights, not otherwise impede, delay or dispute such Approved Sale and, in the case of a tender offer that constitutes an Approved Sale, tender their Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. In the event that any Other Stockholder fails to comply with the terms of this Section 2.4(a), such Other Stockholder shall not be entitled to receive the consideration to which he, she or it is entitled until such Other Stockholder so complies.
(b) If the stockholders of the Company, including each Major Stockholder (such stockholders together, the “Selling Stockholders”), enter into a binding agreement to sell Common Stock representing more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the binding agreement (such sale, the “Stock Sale”), the Major Stockholders shall deliver to all Other Stockholders, with a copy to the Company, a written notice specifying the pricing and other material terms of the Stock Sale (the “Stock Sale Notice”). From and after the date on which any Other Stockholder is in receipt of the Stock Sale Notice, such Other Stockholder shall agree to sell and shall sell in the Stock Sale on the terms and conditions thereof all Common Stock owned by the Other Stockholders. Without limiting the foregoing,

(i) each Other Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Stockholders make or provide in connection with the Stock Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholder, such Other Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to such Other Stockholder); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by such Other Stockholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by such Other Stockholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Other Stockholder in connection with the Stock Sale; and

(d) Each Other Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Board in the case of an Approved Sale pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or the Selling Stockholders or their authorized representative in the case of a Stock Sale pursuant to Section 2.4(b) with full power of substitution, as his, her, or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in his, her or its name, place and stead to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices to do and perform everything required or permitted to be done in connection with any Approved Sale or Stock Sale, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Other Stockholder might or could do in person, including taking any and all action on behalf of such Other Stockholder from time to time as contemplated hereunder, including executing and/or approving, on behalf of such Other Stockholder, any merger agreement, stock sale agreement, asset sale agreement or similar agreement relating to the Approved Sale or the Stock Sale, as the case may be, and any amendments thereto and waivers thereof, any transmittal letters and stock powers necessary to Transfer or surrender such Other Stockholder's Common Stock in accordance with any such agreement, and any other agreements, consents, approvals, resolutions, certificates, or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to be executed and delivered in connection with the Approved Sale or the Stock Sale, as applicable. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of such Other Stockholder and shall extend to such Other Stockholder’s heirs and personal representatives.

2.5. Rights of First Offer.
(a) Except for Permitted Transfers, Exempt Sales and Transfers required pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Section 2.4(b), if any Other Stockholder (such Stockholder, the “Exiting Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer any Common Stock owned by it (the “Offered Shares”) to any proposed transferee(s), the Exiting Stockholder shall first make an offering of the Offered Shares to the Major Stockholders and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5(a).
(i) The Exiting Stockholder shall give written notice (the “Exiting Stockholder Notice”) to the Company and the Major Stockholders stating its bona fide intention to Transfer the Offered Shares and specifying the number of Offered Shares and the material terms and conditions, including the price, pursuant to which the Exiting Stockholder proposes to Transfer the Offered Shares. The Exiting Stockholder Notice shall constitute the Exiting Stockholder's offer to Transfer the Offered Shares to the Major Stockholders and the Company, which offer shall be irrevocable for a period of 20 business days (the “ROFO Notice Period”). By delivering the Exiting Stockholder Notice, the Exiting Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and each Major Stockholder that (x) the Exiting Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares, (y) the Exiting Stockholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section 2.5(a), and (z) the Offered Shares are free and clear of any and all liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) Upon receipt of the Exiting Stockholder Notice, each Major Stockholder and the Company shall have the right, exercisable by delivering a written notice (a “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) to the Exiting Stockholder prior to the end of the ROFO Notice Period, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares on the terms specified in the Exiting Stockholder Notice. Any ROFO Acceptance Notice so delivered shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Person delivering the notice. If more than one Person delivers a ROFO Acceptance Notice (each such Person, the “Accepting Party”), the Offered Shares shall be sold to each Accepting Party in equal shares (i.e. if each Major Stockholder and the Company accept, each such Person will acquire one-third of the Offered Shares), provided that Berrard and BHLP shall be treated as a single Person for purposes of this sentence. The Exiting Stockholder and each Accepting Party shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 2.5(a) including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate, and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such sale as soon as practicable.
(iii) If the Company or any Major Stockholder does not deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice during the ROFO Notice Period, such Person shall be deemed to have waived all of its or his rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 2.5(a) in connection with the offering to which the Exiting Stockholder Notice relates. If neither any Major Stockholder nor the Company delivers a ROFO Acceptance Notice in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(ii), the Exiting Stockholder may, during the 60 day period following the expiration of the ROFO Notice Period and subject to any other applicable restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Transfer all of the Offered Shares to another transferee on terms and conditions no more favorable to that transferee than those set forth in the Exiting Stockholder Notice. If the Exiting Stockholder does not Transfer the Offered Shares within such 60 day period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Offered Shares shall not be Transferred to the proposed transferee(s) unless the Exiting Stockholder sends a new Exiting Stockholder Notice in accordance with, and otherwise complies with, this Section 2.5(a).
(b) If Berrard or BHLP on the one hand or Chesrown on the other hand (any such Major Stockholder, the “Exiting Major Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer any Common Stock owned by such Person to any another Person, other than in an Exempt Sale, Permitted Transfer or pursuant to a Sale of the Company or a Stock Sale, the Exiting Major Stockholder shall first make an offering of such Common Stock to the Company and the other Major Stockholders; and such offeree(s) shall have the right to purchase such Common Stock from the Exiting Major Stockholder. The provisions of Section 2.5(a), including the obligation to deliver the Exiting Stockholder Notice to the Company and the other Major Stockholders, shall apply to any such offering (treating an Exiting Major Stockholder as an Exiting Stockholder and not as a Major Stockholder).
 
-8-
 
(c) This Section 2.5 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2018 and (ii) the date on which the Major Stockholders terminate the same by written notice to the Other Stockholders; provided that in the case of the termination pursuant to clause (i) the Stockholders shall comply with the provisions of this Section 2.5 with respect to any Exiting Stockholder Notice delivered or required to be delivered prior to June 30, 2018.
