3. Right of First Refusal.
 
A. Exercise by the Company
 
(1) For a period of twenty (20) days (the “Initial Exercise Period”) after the last date on which the Transfer Notice is, pursuant to Section 8(A) hereof, deemed to have been delivered to the Company and all Eligible Investors, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.  In order to exercise its right hereunder, the Company must deliver written notice to Seller within the Initial Exercise Period.
 
(2) Upon the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period or (b) the time when Seller has received written confirmation from the Company regarding its exercise of its Right of First Refusal, the Company shall be deemed to have made its election with respect to the Offered Shares, and the shares for which the Eligible Investors may exercise their Rights of First Refusal (as described below) shall be correspondingly reduced, if appropriate.
 
B. Initial Exercise by the Eligible Investors
 
(1) Subject to the limitations of this Section 3(B) during the Initial Exercise Period the Eligible Investors shall have the right to purchase in the aggregate all but not less than all of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 3(A) above (the “Remaining Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.  In order to exercise its rights hereunder, such Eligible Investor must provide written notice delivered to Seller within the Initial Exercise Period.
 
 
 
 

 
 
(2) To the extent the aggregate number of shares that the Eligible Investors desire to purchase (as evidenced in the written notices delivered to Seller) exceeds the Remaining Shares, each Eligible Investor so exercising will be entitled to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares, which shall be equal to that number of the Remaining Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Remaining Shares by (y) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held by such Eligible Investor on the date of the Transfer Notice and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by all Eligible Investors exercising their Rights of First Refusal (“Pro Rata ROFR Share”), recursively allocated to participating Eligible Investors to the extent of any unsubscribed shares.
 
C. Within five (5) days after the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period, Seller will give written notice to the Company and each Eligible Investor specifying the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company and each Eligible Investor exercising its Right of First Refusal (the “ROFR Confirmation Notice”).  The ROFR Confirmation Notice shall also specify the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company or the Eligible Investors, if any, pursuant to Sections 3(A) and 3(B) hereof.
 
D. Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company or by an Eligible Investor exercising its Right of First Refusal under this Agreement will be the Offered Price, and will be payable as set forth in Section 3(E) hereof.  If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company, each Eligible Investor and Seller, absent fraud or error.
 
E. Closing; Payment.  Subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws, the Company and the Eligible Investors exercising their Rights of First Refusal shall effect the purchase of all the Offered Shares, including the payment of the purchase price, within ten (10) days after the later of (i) delivery of the ROFR Confirmation Notice, and (ii) Delivery of the Co-Sale Confirmation Notice (as defined in Section 4(A)(3) below) (the “Right of First Refusal Closing”).  If the Company and the Eligible Investors, individually or collectively, do not timely elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 3, then, after compliance with Section 4 and the other terms of this Agreement, Seller may Transfer the Offered Shares to the purchaser or other transferee named in the Transfer Notice for the consideration and on the other terms set forth in the Transfer Notice and not otherwise.  Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the option of the party exercising its Right of First Refusal, (i) in cash (by check), (ii) by wire transfer or (iii) by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Seller to the Company or the Eligible Investor, as the case may be, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.  At such Right of First Refusal Closing, Seller shall deliver to each of the Company and the Eligible Investors exercising their Rights of First Refusal, one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing such Offered Shares so purchased.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
F. Exclusion from Right of First Refusal.  This Right of First Refusal shall not apply with respect to capital stock sold or to be sold by the Co-Sale Eligible Investors pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale set forth in Section 4 below.
 
4. Right of Co-Sale.
 
A. Exercise by the Eligible Investors.
 
(1) Subject to the limitations of this Section 4, to the extent that the Company and the Eligible Investors do not exercise their respective Rights of First Refusal with respect to all of the Offered Shares or the Remaining Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3 hereof, then, each Eligible Investor who has not exercised its Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 3(B) or 3(C) (a “Co-Sale Eligible Investor”) shall have the right to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares which are not being purchased by the Company or the Eligible Investors pursuant to their respective Rights of First Refusal (“Residual Shares”) on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice.  To exercise its rights hereunder, each Co-Sale Eligible Investor (a “Selling Investor”) must have provided a written notice to Seller within the Initial Exercise Period indicating the number of shares it holds that it wishes to sell pursuant to this Section 4(A).
 
(2) If the aggregate number of shares that the Selling Investors desire to sell (as evidenced by written notices delivered to Seller) exceeds the number of Residual Shares, each Selling Investor will be entitled to sell up to its pro rata share of the Residual Shares which shall be equal to that number of Residual Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Residual Shares by (y) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by such Selling Investor and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by Seller and the Investors (“Pro Rata Co-Sale Share”).
 
(3) Within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period, Seller will give written notice to the Company and each Selling Investor specifying the number of Residual Shares to be sold by each Selling Investor exercising its Right of Co-Sale (the “Co-Sale Confirmation Notice”).
 
B. Closing; Consummation of the Co-Sale.  Subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws, the sale of the Residual Shares by the Selling Investors shall occur within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Co-Sale Confirmation Notice (the “Co-Sale Closing”).  If a Selling Investor exercised the Right of Co-Sale in accordance with this Section 4, then such Selling Investor shall deliver to Seller at or before the Co-Sale Closing, one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, representing the number of Residual Shares to which the Selling Investor is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 4.  At the Co-Sale Closing, Seller shall cause such certificates or other instruments to be Transferred and delivered to the Transferee pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and Seller will remit, or will cause to be remitted, to each Selling Investor, at the Co-Sale Closing, that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to which each Selling Investor is entitled by reason of each Selling Investor’s participation in such Transfer pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
C. Exclusion from Co-Sale Right.  This Right of Co-Sale shall not apply with respect to capital stock sold or to be sold to Eligible Investors or the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal.
 
D. Multiple Series, Class or Type of Stock.  If the Offered Shares consist of more than one series, class or type of security, Seller has the right to Transfer hereunder each such series, class or type; provided, that if, as to the Right of Co-Sale, a Selling Investor does not hold any of such series, class or type and the Proposed Transferee is not willing, at the Co-Sale Closing, to purchase some other series, class or type of security from such Selling Investor, or is unwilling to purchase any security from such Selling Investor at the Co-Sale Closing, then such Selling Investor will have the put right (the “Put Right”) set forth in Section 5(B) below.
 
E. Seller’s Right To Transfer.  If any of the Offered Shares remain available after the exercise of all Rights of First Refusal and all Rights of Co-Sale, then Seller shall be free to Transfer, subject to Section 5 below, any such remaining shares to the Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price in accordance with the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice; provided, however, that if the Offered Shares are not so Transferred during the seventy-two (72) day period following the deemed delivery of the Transfer Notice, then Seller may not Transfer any of such remaining Offered Shares without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement.
 
5. Conditions to Valid Transfer.
 
A. Generally.  Any attempt by any Seller to Transfer any Seller Shares in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void.  No securities shall be transferred by Seller unless (i) such Transfer is made in compliance with all of the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) prior to such Transfer, the transferee or transferees sign a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which it or they agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  The Company will not be required to (i) transfer on its books any shares that have been sold, gifted or otherwise Transferred in violation of any provisions of this Agreement or (ii) treat as owner of such shares, or accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser, donee or other transferee to whom such shares may have been so Transferred.
 
B. Put Right.  If a Seller Transfers any Seller Shares in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale under this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), or if the Proposed Transferee of Offered Shares desires to purchase a class, series or type of stock offered by Seller but not held by a Selling Investor, or the Proposed Transferee is unwilling to purchase any securities from a Selling Investor, such Selling Investor may, by delivery of written notice to such Seller (a “Put Notice”) within ten (10) days after the later of (i) the Co-Sale Closing and (ii) the date on which such Selling Investor becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer or the terms thereof, require such Seller to purchase from such Selling Investor that number of shares of Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) or Common Stock subject to Section 5(B)(2)) that is equal to the number of Residual Shares such Selling  Investor would have been entitled to Transfer to the purchaser (the “Put Shares”).  Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:
 
 
 
 

 
 
(1) The price per share at which the Put Shares are to be sold to Seller shall be equal to the price per share that the Selling Investor would have received at the Co-Sale Closing of such Prohibited Transfer if such Selling Investor had sold such Put Shares at the Co-Sale Closing.  Such purchase price of the Put Shares shall be paid in cash or such other consideration as Seller received in the Prohibited Transfer or at the Co-Sale Closing.  Seller shall also reimburse the Selling Investor for any and all fees and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or attempted exercise of such Selling Investor’s Rights of Co-Sale pursuant to Section 4 or in the exercise of its rights under this Section 5 with respect to the Put Shares.
 
(2) The Put Shares of Stock to be sold to Seller shall be of the same class or type as Transferred in the Prohibited Transfer or at the Co-Sale Closing if such Selling Investor then owns securities of such class or type.  If such Selling Investor does not own any of such class or type, the Put Shares shall be shares of Common Stock (or Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof).
 
(3) The closing of such sale to Seller will occur within ten (10) days after the date of such Selling Investor’s Put Notice to such Seller.  At such closing, the Selling Investor shall deliver to Seller the certificate or certificates representing the Put Shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, and immediately upon receipt thereof, such Seller shall pay the aggregate purchase price therefor, and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Section 5(B)(1).
 
6. Restrictive Legend and Stop Transfer Orders
 
A. Legend.  Each Key Holder understands and agrees that the Company will cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing ownership of Seller Shares by such Key Holder:
 
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD, DISPOSED OF OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AND RIGHTS OF CO-SALE AS SET FORTH IN A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY THE HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.  SUCH RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AND RIGHTS OF CO-SALE ARE BINDING ON CERTAIN TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
 
B. Stop Transfer Instructions.  In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, each Seller agrees that the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” certificates or instructions in the event of a Transfer in violation of any provision of this Agreement and that it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records.
