  (b)

The Parties agree that the provisions of Section 5.7 (Redemptions) and Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws shall be for the protection and use against any Transfer in violation of this Agreement, as applicable, and that no approval is required and that the Parties will not use, and hereby waive, their right of redemption under Section 5.7 (Redemptions) and any right under Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws in connection with the Transfer of Equity Securities that is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Each Shareholder Transferring Equity Securities as permitted under this Agreement shall, except in connection with a Drag-Along Sale or a transaction that would constitute a Deemed Liquidation Event, cause the transferee to unconditionally and irrevocably undertake to adhere to this Agreement (or a minority shareholders’ agreement, as determined by the Board).

Subject to Section 5.8 (Permitted Assignees), if a Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) is entitled under Section 5.2(b) to and proposes in good faith to Transfer any Shares (or other Equity Securities) to one or more bona fide arms-length third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties (such Shares or Equity Securities, the “Offered Shares”), then the Selling Shareholder shall prior to the consummation of the proposed Transfer give the Company a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of the Selling Shareholder’s intention to make the Transfer, which shall include (i) the number of Shares being Transferred, (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee and (iii) the consideration and the other material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Shareholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice.

 

  (b)

The Company shall have the right for a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of the Transfer Notice to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares that such Selling Shareholder proposes to Transfer, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

After the expiration of the period set out in Section 5.3(c), no sale shall be made without an offer being again made in respect of the Shares not previously disposed of pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3.

 

5.4

Drag-Along Right

 

  (a)

  (i)

the Board;

 

  (ii)

the Preferred Majority; and

 

  (iii)

Shareholders holding a majority of the Common Shares (excluding Common Shares issuable or issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares),

then the Drag-Along Sellers shall be entitled to cause all the other holders of Equity Securities to sell or transfer a corresponding portion of their Equity Securities to such third parties simultaneously with the Drag-Along Sellers, or as applicable vote to support all corporate actions required to divest the Company’s assets, in each case on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Trade Sale Offer, with each holder of each class or series of the capital stock of the Company to receive the same form of consideration for their shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same class or series of stock (the “Drag-Along Right”).

  (d)

If a Shareholder fails to take all necessary requested actions and measures to consummate the transaction contemplated by a Drag-Along Notice, such Shareholder shall be deemed by signing this Agreement to have irrevocably appointed and authorized any of the Drag-Along Sellers to be its agent and attorney and to make all decisions, execute all documents and take such other measures that are necessary for a transfer of such Shareholder’s Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 5.4.

 

  (e)

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.2 (Restrictions on Transfer), Section 5.3 (Right of First Refusal) or Section 5.5 (Tag-Along Right) shall not apply to the Drag-Along Right.

 

5.5

Tag-Along Right

  (c)

The number of Shares that each Tag-Along Shareholder may sell shall be equal in the aggregate to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Shares to be Transferred by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Tag-Along Shareholder on the date of the Tag-Along Notice, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by the Tag-Along Seller and all of the other Tag-Along Shareholders (in each case on an as-converted basis) on the date of the Tag-Along Notice.

  (a)

Upon consummation of the sale, each Shareholder of the same class or series of Equity Securities participating therein will receive the same form and amount of consideration per Share; provided that if such sale constitutes a Deemed Liquidation Event, the proceeds shall be allocated among the classes of Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement. If different classes or series of Shares are to be sold in such a sale and such sale does not constitute a Deemed Liquidation Event, the purchase price to be received shall be allocated after taking into account the relative value of the securities being transferred by each such Shareholder. The Board shall determine in good faith such relative value of each series and class of Shares to be sold in such transaction.

 

  (b)

Each Shareholder shall (i) make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such definitive agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the proposed Transfer and (ii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in respect of the purchase price or indemnification obligation, provided that no Shareholder shall be obligated to (A) provide indemnification other than on a several (and not joint) basis or (B) incur any liability to any Person in connection with the proposed Transfer (including under the indemnification) in excess of the lesser of its pro rata share of such liability and the proceeds realized by such Shareholder in such sale.

 

  (c)

In connection with any potential transaction or study of a transaction that may result in an exercise of the Drag-Along Right, the Board may decide to engage, on customary terms, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board to provide financial advisory services to the Company, the Drag-Along Sellers and the other Shareholders. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such investment banking firm.

No Shareholder is required to agree (unless such Shareholder is a Company director or employee) to any restrictive covenant in connection with the proposed Transfer (including without limitation any covenant not to compete or covenant not to solicit customers, employees or suppliers of any party to the proposed Transfer) or any release of claims other than a release in customary form of claims arising solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company.

The power of attorney granted hereunder shall authorize the Managing Director of the Company to execute and deliver the documentation referred to in Section 5.6(e) on behalf of any party failing to do so within five (5) Business Days of a request by the Company. Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 5.6(f) is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 9 (Term and Termination) hereof. Save for any voting rights agreement that a Party may enter into or may have entered into, each Party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 9 (Term and Termination) hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.
