2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE.

2.1 Notice of Transfer. If any Common Holder or Investor proposes to Transfer any of its or his Shares (each a “Selling Stockholder”), then such Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Notice”) simultaneously to the Company and to each of the Investors at least 45 days prior to the closing of such Transfer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding such 45-day period, no such Transfer shall be effected until the terms of this Section 2 have been fully complied with. The Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be Transferred (the “Selling Stockholder Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective transferee. In the event that the Transfer is being made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4, the Notice shall state under which clause of Section 2.4 the Transfer is being made.

2.2 Investor Right of First Refusal.

(a) Each Investor shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder (the “Investor Notice”) within ten days after the receipt of the Notice, to purchase its pro rata share of the Selling Stockholder Shares subject to the Notice and on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(c), the Investors who so exercise their rights (the “Participating Investors”) shall effect the purchase of the Selling Stockholder Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than ten business days after delivery of the Investor Notice, and at such time the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Participating Investors the certificate(s) representing the Selling Stockholder Shares to be purchased by the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for Transfer.

 

-4-


(b) For the purposes of this section, each Investor’s pro rata share shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Selling Stockholder Shares covered by the Notice and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Participating Investor at the time of the Notice, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by all Investors at the time of the Notice.

(c) In the event that not all of the Investors elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Selling Stockholder Shares available pursuant to their rights under Section 2.2(a) within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice to each of the Participating Investors (the “Overallotment Notice”), which shall set forth the number of shares of Selling Stockholder Shares not purchased by the other Investors, and shall offer such Participating Investors the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Participating Investor shall have five days after receipt of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Stockholder (the “Participating Investors Overallotment Notice”) indicating the number of unsubscribed shares that such Participating Investor desires to purchase, and each such Participating Investor shall be entitled to purchase such number of unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice. In the event that the Participating Investors desire, in the aggregate, to purchase in excess of the total number of available unsubscribed shares, then the number of unsubscribed shares that each Participating Investor may purchase shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. For purposes of this Section 2.2(c) the denominator described in clause (ii) of subsection 2.2(b) above shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Participating Investors at the time of the Notice. The Participating Investors shall then effect the purchase of the Selling Stockholder Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than five days after delivery of the Participating Investors Overallotment Notice, and at such time, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Participating Investors the certificates representing the Selling Stockholder Shares to be purchased by the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for Transfer.

2.3 Right of Co-Sale.

(a) In the event the Investors fail to exercise their respective rights to purchase all of the Selling Stockholder Shares subject to Section 2.2 hereof, following the exercise or expiration of the rights of purchase set forth in Section 2.2, then the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and each Investor written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) that each Investor shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to such Selling Stockholder with a copy to the Company within 15 days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such Transfer of Selling Stockholder Shares on the same terms and conditions. Such notice shall indicate the number of Shares up to that number of shares determined under Section 2.3(b) such investor wishes to sell under his or its right to participate (the “Investor Shares”). To the extent one or more of the Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Selling Stockholder Shares that such Selling Stockholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

-5-


(b) Each Investor may sell all or any part of that number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Selling Stockholder Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice and not purchased by Investors pursuant to Section 2.2 by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by such Investor at the time of the Co-Sale Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by such Selling Stockholder (excluding shares purchased by the Investors pursuant to Section 2.2) plus the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by all Investors at the time of the Co-Sale Notice.

(c) Each Investor who elects to participate in the Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.3 (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall effect its participation in the Transfer by promptly delivering to such Selling Stockholder for Transfer to the prospective transferee one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, which represent:

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

(ii) the type and number of shares of Preferred Stock which is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Co-Sale Participant shall convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in Section 2.3(c)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual Transfer of such shares to the transferee.

(d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant delivers to such Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.3(c) shall be Transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Selling Stockholder 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 prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, such Selling Stockholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Selling Stockholder Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Selling Stockholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice. Any purchasers of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall enter into an Instrument of Accession, agreeing to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement, as if it were a Common Holder or a holder of Preferred Stock, as the case may be, hereunder.

 

-6-


(e) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of any Investor hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of Selling Stockholder Shares made by any Selling Stockholder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Selling Stockholder Shares subject to this Section 2.

(f) To the extent that the Investors do not elect to participate in the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares subject to the Co-Sale Notice, such Selling Stockholder may, not later than 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 Selling Stockholder Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice within 30 days of such agreement on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the Selling Stockholder 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 proposed Transfer of any of the Selling Stockholder Shares by a Selling Stockholder, shall again be subject to the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Investors and shall require compliance by a Selling Stockholder with the procedures described in this Section 2.

2.4 Exempt Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Investors set forth in Section 2 above shall not apply to (i) any Transfer without consideration to the Selling Stockholder’s ancestors, descendants or spouse or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Selling Stockholder, (ii) any pledge of Selling Stockholder Shares made pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction that creates a mere security interest, (iii) any bona fide gift, (iv) any Transfer to an Affiliate of such Selling Stockholder, or (v) any Transfer by a Selling Stockholder to one or more of its members, stockholders, limited partners or general partners; provided that in the event of any Transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), (A) the Selling Stockholder shall inform the Investors of such Transfer prior to effecting it and (B) the transferee shall enter into an Instrument of Accession, agreeing to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement, as if it were an original Selling Stockholder hereunder. Such Transferred Selling Stockholder Shares shall remain “Selling Stockholder Shares” hereunder, and such transferee shall be treated as a “Selling Stockholder” for purposes of this Agreement, except that such transferee may not Transfer shares pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.4(a), the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission under the Securities Act.

(c) This Agreement is subject to, and shall in no manner limit the right which the Company may have to repurchase securities from the Selling Stockholder pursuant to a stock restriction agreement or other agreement between the Company and the Selling Stockholder.

 

3. TERMINATION.

3.1 Events of Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof through the earliest of the following dates, on which date it shall terminate in its entirety: (a) the date of the closing of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the

 

-7-


Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation); or (b) the date of the closing of a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation). In addition, first refusal and co-sale rights set forth in Section 2 shall terminate as to any Investor as of the date such Investor no longer holds any shares of Preferred Stock.

 

4. PROHIBITED TRANSFERS.

4.1 Call Option. In the event of a prohibited transfer in violation of Section 2.2 hereof (a “Prohibited Transaction”), the Investors shall have the option to purchase from the transferee of the Shares transferred in violation of Section 2.2, the number of shares that the Investors would have been entitled to purchase had such Prohibited Transaction been effected in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, on the following terms and conditions:

(a) the price per share at which the shares are to be purchased by the Investors shall be equal to the price per share paid to such Stockholder by the third party purchaser or purchasers of such Shares that are subject to the Prohibited Transaction; and

(b) the Stockholder effecting such Prohibited Transaction shall reimburse the Investors for any expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in effecting such purchase.

4.2 Put Option.

(a) In the event that a Stockholder should sell any Shares in contravention of the co-sale rights of each Investor under Section 2.3 of this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and such Stockholder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.

(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Investor shall have the right to sell to such Stockholder the type and number of shares of capital stock equal to the number of shares each Investor would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser under Section 2.3 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Stockholder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the purchaser to such Stockholder in such Prohibited Transfer. The Stockholder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all fees and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights under Section 2.3.

(ii) Within ninety days after the date on which an Investor received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or otherwise became aware of the Prohibited Transfer, such Investor shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Stockholder the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

(iii) Such Stockholder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by an Investor pursuant to this Section 4.2, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Section 4.2(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to the Investor.
