          2.1 Rights of First Refusal.
               (a) Transfer Notice. If at any time a Common Holder or Investor proposes to Transfer Equity Securities (a “Selling Stockholder”), then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give the Company written notice of the Selling Stockholder’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the

2


 

Equity Securities to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”), (ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s), (iii) the consideration to be paid and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Company shall promptly forward the Transfer Notice to each Holder. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Stockholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. In the event that the Transfer is being made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4, the Transfer Notice shall state under which specific subsection the Transfer is being made.
               (b) Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days from Delivery of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares by notifying the Selling Stockholder in writing before expiration of such ten (10) day period as to the number of such shares that it wishes to purchase. If the Company gives the Selling Stockholder notice that it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(e). If the Company fails to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section 2.1(b) within the period provided, the remaining Offered Shares shall be subject to the options granted to the Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1(d).
               (c) Additional Transfer Notice. Subject to the Company’s option set forth in Section 2.1(b), if at any time the Selling Stockholder proposes a Transfer, then, within five (5) days after the Company has declined to purchase all, or a portion, of the Offered Shares or the Company’s option to so purchase the Offered Shares has expired, the Selling Stockholder shall give each Holder an “Additional Transfer Notice” that shall include all of the information and certifications required in a Transfer Notice and shall additionally identify the Offered Shares that the Company has declined to purchase (the “Remaining Shares”) and briefly describe the Holders’ rights of first refusal and co-sale rights with respect to the proposed Transfer.
               (d) Holder’s Right of First Refusal.
                    (i) Each Holder shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) days from Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice from the Selling Stockholder set forth in Section 2.1(c) to elect to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Additional Transfer Notice. Each Holder may exercise such purchase option and thereby purchase all or any portion of his, her or its respective pro rata shares (with any re-allotments as provided below) of the Remaining Shares (a “Participating Holder”) by notifying the Selling Stockholder in writing, before the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period, as to the number of such shares which he, she

3


 

or it wishes to purchase (including any re-allotment). Each Holder’s pro rata share of the Remaining Shares shall be a fraction of the Remaining Shares, of which the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned by such Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock held by all Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the denominator. Each Holder shall have a right of re-allotment such that, if any other Holder fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Remaining Shares, the Fully Participating Holders (as defined below) may exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the Remaining Shares not previously purchased.
                    (ii) In the event any Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares available pursuant to its option under subsection 2.1(d)(i) within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Participating Holder that has elected to purchase all of its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares (each a “Fully Participating Holder”), which notice shall set forth the number of Remaining Shares not purchased by the other Holders, and shall offer the Fully Participating Holders the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Fully Participating Holder shall have five (5) days after Delivery of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Stockholder (the “Participating Holders Overallotment Notice”) of its election to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Additional Transfer Notice and indicating the maximum number of the unsubscribed shares that it will purchase in the event that any other Fully Participating Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares. For purposes of this subsection 2.1(d)(ii), the numerator shall be the same as that used in subsection 2.1(d)(i) above and the denominator shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock owned by all Fully Participating Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice. Each Participating Holder shall be entitled to apportion the Remaining Shares to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates (including, in the case of a venture capital fund, other venture capital funds Affiliated with such fund), provided that such Participating Holder notifies the Selling Stockholder of each such allocation.
               (e) Payment.
                    (i) The Participating Holders shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares with payment by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to this subsection 2.1(e).
                    (ii) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice or Additional Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company (and the Participating Holders) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property. If the Selling Stockholder and the Company (or the Participating Holders) cannot agree on such fair market value within ten (10) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice (or the Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Holders), the valuation shall be made by an

4


 

appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Selling Stockholder and the Company (or the Participating Holders) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice (or the Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Holders), each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and those appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Selling Stockholder and the Company (and the Participating Holders), with half of the cost borne by the Company and the Participating Holders pro rata by each, based on the number of shares such parties have expressed an interest in purchasing pursuant to this Section 2. If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase or the Participating Holders’ purchase has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s) has not been finalized, then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this subsection.
          2.2 Right of Co-Sale.
               (a) To the extent the Company and the Holders do not exercise their respective rights of first refusal as to all of the Offered Shares or the Remaining Shares pursuant to Section 2.1, then each Holder (a “Selling Holder” for purposes of this Section 2.2) that notifies the Selling Stockholder in writing within twenty (20) days after Delivery of the Transfer Notice referred to in subsection 2.1(c), shall have the right to participate in such sale of Equity Securities on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice. Such Selling Holder’s notice to the Selling Stockholder shall indicate the number of shares of capital stock of the Company that the Selling Holder wishes to sell under his, her or its right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Equity Securities that the Selling Stockholder may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.
               (b) Each Selling Holder may sell all or any part of that number of shares of capital stock of the Company equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Equity Securities covered by the Transfer Notice that have not been subscribed for pursuant to Section 2.1 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Equity Securities owned by the Selling Stockholder and all of the Selling Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice.
               (c) Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Stockholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:
                    (i) the type and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that such Selling Holder elects to sell; or
                    (ii) that number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that such Selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company in lieu of Common Stock, such Selling Holder

5


 

shall convert such shares of capital stock of the Company into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in this Section 2.2. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer.
               (d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Selling Holder delivers to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to subsection 2.2(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Equity Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Stockholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Holder 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 Selling Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Selling Stockholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Stockholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice.
          2.3 Non-Exercise of Rights. To the extent that the Company and the Holders have not exercised their rights to purchase the Offered Shares or the Remaining Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.1 and the Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the Remaining Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.2, the Selling Stockholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the Offered Shares or the Remaining Shares, as the case may be, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall acquire the Offered Shares and the Remaining Shares free and clear of subsequent rights of first refusal and co-sale rights under this Agreement. In the event the Selling Stockholder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares and Remaining Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Company’s first refusal rights and the Holders’ first refusal rights and co-sale rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares or the Remaining Shares by the Selling Stockholder until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2 to purchase Equity Securities from the Selling Stockholder or participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Stockholder shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Selling Stockholder of Equity Securities or subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Stockholder.
          2.4 Limitations of Rights of First Refusal and Co-Sale. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, the first refusal rights of the Company and the first refusal rights and co-sale rights of the Holders shall not apply to (a) the Transfer of Equity Securities to any spouse or member of the Common Holder’s or Investor’s immediate family, or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the Common Holder’s or Investor’s spouse or members of the Common Holder’s or Investor’s immediate family, or to a trust for the Common Holder’s or Investor’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, (b) any Transfer between an entity and its
