• Fees and Rights of First Refusal The Company is not obligated to offer the securities offered hereunder on a right of first refusal basis or otherwise to any third parties including, but not limited to, current or former shareholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third parties.

• Company Right of First Refusal (a) Before the Warrant, any portion thereof or any Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder, the Company shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Warrant, such portion thereof and/or any such Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11. (b) If the Holder proposes to sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant, any portion thereof or any number of the Shares it holds at such time to any third party other than one that it controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with (each an "Affiliate"), the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice ("Sale Notice"), in accordance with Section 15, stating (i) the Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant, any portion thereof or a certain number of Shares (collectively, the "Transfer Interests"), as the case may be, (ii) the name of the proposed purchaser or other transferee (the "Proposed Buyer"), and (iii) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Transfer Interests (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer to sell the Transfer Interests to the Company at the Offered Price. (c) The Company may, at any time within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a Sale Notice, elect to purchase the Transfer Interests by giving written notice to the Holder, in accordance with Section 15, at a purchase price equal to the Offered Price (the "Purchase Price"). If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. (d) Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in cash (by check) within sixty (60) days after the date of the Company's election to purchase the Transfer Interests. (e) If the Transfer Interests are not purchased by the Company as provided herein, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer the Transfer Interests to the Proposed Buyer at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer (i) is consummated within six (6) months after the date of the Sale Notice, and (ii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement and all other agreements between the Holder and the Company. If the Transfer Interests are not transferred to the Proposed Buyer within such six-month period in accordance with the preceding sentence, a new Sale Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company shall again be offered a right of first refusal under this Section 11 before the Warrant, any portion thereof or any Shares, as the case may be, may be sold or otherwise transferred.

• Termination and Waiver of Rights of First Refusal The rights of first refusal established by this Section 4 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Company’s Initial Offering or (ii) an Acquisition. Notwithstanding Section 5.5 hereof, the rights of first refusal established by this Section 4 may be amended, or any provision waived with and only with the written consent of the Company and the Major Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Major Investors, or as permitted by Section 5.5.

• Rights of First Offer (a) At any time or from time to time prior to a Qualifying Public Equity Offering, in the event that (x) at any time following the first anniversary of the date hereof (provided, however, that, prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof, such Rollover Investor does not in the good faith judgment of the Company jeopardize the "recapitalization" accounting treatment afforded the Company in the Recapitalization Merger), a Rollover Investor desires to Transfer, or (y) at any time following the date hereof, a HIP Co-Investor desires to Transfer, all or part of its Common Stock ("Offered Shares"), other than pursuant to Section 3.02(a), 3.02(d), 4.02 or 4.03 of this Agreement, such Rollover Investor or HIP Co-Investor (individually, an "Investor") shall give prompt written notice (an "Investor's Notice") of its desire to sell the Offered Shares to the Company and Sponsor. The Investor's Notice shall identify (i) the number of Offered Shares and (ii) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer including the purchase price and the form of the consideration. (b) The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, the Offered Shares (the "First Option") on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Investor's Notice, which option shall be exercised by delivering to such Investor irrevocable written notice of its commitment to purchase the Offered Shares within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Investor's Notice (the "Company Option Period"). Failure by the Company to give such notice within such fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed an election by the Company not to purchase the Offered Shares. (c) In the event that the Company decides not to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4.01(b), then Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, the Offered Shares (the "Second Option") on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Investor's Notice, which option shall be exercised by delivering to such Investor irrevocable written notice of its commitment to purchase the Offered Shares within ten (10) business days after the termination of the Company Option Period (the "Sponsor Option Period"); provided that Sponsor may, at its sole option, assign its rights to purchase an Investor's Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 4.01 to another Shareholder or a Permitted Transferee of Sponsor (such person an "Assignee"); provided that if the Assignee is a HIP Co-Investor, each HIP Co-Investor will be able to participate in such assignment on a pro rata basis. Failure by Sponsor or its Assignee to give such notice within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election by Sponsor or its Assignee not to purchase the Offered Shares. (d) Delivery of written notice by the Company, Sponsor or its Assignee accepting the First Option or the Second Option, as the case may be, shall constitute a contract between the Company, Sponsor or its Assignee, on the one hand, and such Investor on the other hand, for the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Investor's Notice. The purchase of any shares pursuant to the exercise of the First Option or the Second Option, as the case may be, shall be completed not later than forty-five (45) days following receipt of the Investor's Notice with respect to the Offered Shares, subject to receipt of any required material third-party or governmental approvals, compliance with applicable laws and the absence of any injunction or similar legal order preventing such transaction (collectively, the "Conditions") in which case the purchase of the Offered Shares shall be delayed pending the satisfaction of the Conditions up to an additional thirty (30) days. As a condition to entering into the contract referred to above, the Company, Sponsor and its Assignee will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Conditions as soon as possible. In the event that neither the First Option nor the Second Option is exercised, the Investor shall have the right for a period of seventy-five (75) days after the termination of the Sponsor Option Period to Transfer (the "Investor Sale") the Offered Shares at a price not less than ninety percent (90%) of the price contained in, and otherwise on terms and conditions no less favorable to such Investor than those set forth in, the Investor's Notice, except that the purchase of the Offered Shares may be delayed up to an additional thirty (30) days pending satisfaction of the Conditions; provided that the Transferee agrees to execute a Joinder Agreement. If the Investor Sale is not consummated pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, the Investor will not effect Transfer of any of the Offered Shares without commencing de novo the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01.

• Transfer of Rights of First Refusal The rights of first refusal of each Major Investor under this Section 4 may be transferred to the same parties, subject to the same restrictions as any transfer of registration rights pursuant to Section 2.10.

• Right of First Refusal (a) The Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option may be sold by the Optionee only in compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, and subject in all cases to compliance with the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof. Prior to any intended sale, Optionee shall first give written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Company specifying (i) his or her bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares, (ii) the name and address of the proposed purchaser(s), (iii) the number of Shares the Optionee proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), (iv) the price for which he or she proposes to sell the Offered Shares, and (v) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale. (b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer Notice, the Company or its nominee(s) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice by delivery of written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Optionee specifying the number of Offered Shares that the Company or its nominees elect to purchase. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Acceptance Notice to the Optionee, the Company and/or its nominee(s) shall deliver to the Optionee payment of the amount of the purchase price of the Offered Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Section 7, against delivery by the Optionee of a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or such nominee(s), as the case may be. Payment shall be made on the same terms as set forth in the Offer Notice or, at the election of the Company or its nominees(s), by check or wire transfer of funds. If the Company and/or its nominee(s) do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Optionee shall be entitled to sell the balance of the Offered Shares to the purchaser(s) named in the Offer Notice at the price specified in the Offer Notice or at a higher price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice; provided, however, that such sale or other transfer must be consummated within sixty (60) days from the date of the Offer Notice and any proposed sale after such sixty (60) day period may be made only by again complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 7. (c) The Optionee may transfer all or any portion of the Shares to a trust established for the sole benefit of the Optionee and/or his or her spouse or children without such transfer being subject to the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 7, provided that the Shares so transferred shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and no further transfer of such Shares may be made without complying with the provisions of this Section 7. (d) Any Successor of Optionee pursuant to Section 5 hereof, and any transferee of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7, shall hold the Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and no further transfer of the Shares may be made without complying with the provisions of this Section 7. (e) The rights provided the Company and its nominee(s) under this Section 7 shall terminate upon the closing of the initial public offering of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

• General Partner Right of First Refusal The transferring Partner shall give written notice of the proposed transfer to the General Partner, which notice shall state (i) the identity of the proposed transferee, and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the transferred Partnership Units. The General Partner shall have ten (10) days upon which to give the transferring Partner notice of its election to acquire the Partnership Units on the proposed terms. If it so elects, it shall purchase the Partnership Units on such terms within ten (10) days after giving notice of such election. If it does not so elect, the transferring Partner may transfer such Partnership Units to a third party, on economic terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 11.3.

• Termination of Right of First Refusal The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.
