Co-Sale Right In the event that any Founder of any Founder Holding Company proposes to sell any or all of the number of Shares (the “Founders’ Offered Shares”), then the Remaining Shares shall be subject to co-sale rights under this Section 8.3 and each ROFR Holder who has not exercised any of its right of first refusal with respect to the Founders’ Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Right Holder”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Proposed ROFR Seller, the Company and each other Co-Sale Right Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Remaining Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Right Holder wishes to include in such sale or transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Right Holder. To the extent one or more of the Co-Sale Right Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Ordinary Shares that such Proposed ROFR Seller may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Right Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
Co-Sale Rights Upon the proposed occurrence of a Co-Sale Transaction, any one or more of the Stockholders may demand that the effectiveness of the Co-Sale Transaction be conditioned upon the right of each such Stockholder to sell to the Person acquiring Shares in the Co-Sale Transaction (the “Co-Sale Purchaser”) all or any part of such Stockholder’s Shares (a “Co-Sale”), provided that such Stockholder (an “Electing Co-Sale Stockholder”) delivers written notice to the Stockholders transferring Shares in the Co-Sale Transaction (the “Transferring Co-Sale Stockholders”) to the Co-Sale Purchaser of such demand stating the number of Shares he so wishes to sell within forty-five (45) days after having received notice from the Transferring Co-Sale Stockholders that a proposed sale of Shares would constitute a Co-Sale Transaction. The price for such Stockholders’ Shares shall be equal to the per Share price to be paid in the Co-Sale Transaction; provided, however, that the proceeds from the Co-Sale Transaction shall be reallocated among such Electing Co-Sale Stockholders and the Transferring Co-Sale Stockholders such that such Electing Co-Sale Stockholders and the Transferring Stockholders shall be entitled to receive such portion of the proceeds as if the proceeds had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the entry into the first agreement entered into in connection with, and prior to, such Co-Sale Transaction (giving effect to applicable orders of priority). The closing of the Co-Sale shall take place concurrently with the sale by the Transferring Co-Sale Stockholders to the Co-Sale Purchaser. If the Co-Sale Purchaser is unwilling or unable to purchase all of the Shares such Stockholders desire to sell, neither the Company nor any Stockholders shall enter into the Co-Sale Transaction.
Violation of Co-Sale Right If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Participating Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Subsection 2.2 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from such Participating Investor the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Participating Investor would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms of Subsection 2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Subsection 2.2(d)(i) and the first sentence of Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), as applicable, and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Participating Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Subsection 2.2. Such Key Holder shall also reimburse each Participating Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Participating Investor’s rights under Subsection 2.2.
Put Right At any time after November 15, 2009 and prior to November 15, 2013, any Partner who has held Units for at least three years (the “Put Partner”) shall have the right to request that the Partnership redeem all of such Units. Such request shall be made in writing, state a requested date for the redemption (the “Requested Redemption Date”) and be delivered to the General Partner at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Requested Redemption Date. The General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership has sufficient funds to grant the request, which determination shall be made prior to the Requested Redemption Date in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are available, the request shall be granted, and the Partnership shall transfer and deliver to the Put Partner no sooner than the Requested Redemption Date, but no later than 60 calendar days thereafter, 92% of the Unreturned Invested Capital of the Put Partner with respect to the redeemed Units determined as of the Requested Redemption Date; provided that the sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed 9% of the total interests in partnership capital or profits as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time during any 12-month period may the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period unless such redemption is otherwise deemed to be a disregarded transfer for purposes of determining whether the Partnership is a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7704-1 as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are not available, or if the requested redemption would cause the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership to exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period, the Partnership shall either (i) decline to perform the requested redemption or (ii) perform the requested redemption solely to the extent such redemption does not violate the provisions of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4, to be decided in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Each Put Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership and the General Partner that all Units delivered in connection with the exercise of the put right under this Section 9.4 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, respectively, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be under any obligation to acquire any Put Partner’s Units, (1) to the extent that any such Units are subject to any liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or (2) in the event that any such Put Partner shall fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Units are not subject to any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or shall fail to agree to fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind as well as any costs and expenses relating to the Put Partner’s Units or the exercise of the put right. Each Put Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units to the Partnership or General Partner, respectively, each such Put Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

Call Right The Purchaser shall have, during the Exercise Period (as defined below), and when a Condition is met, the right and option to purchase from the Seller, and upon the exercise of such right and option the Seller shall have the obligation to sell to the Purchaser or his Nominee(s), a portion of the Seller’s Shares identified in the Call Exercise Notice (the “Call Right”).

Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests. As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Interests shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.
Approved Sale If the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall deliver a notice to Grantee (a “Sale Event Notice”) stating that the Board has approved a sale of all or a portion of the Company (an “Approved Sale”) and specifying the name and address of the proposed parties to such transaction and the consideration payable in connection therewith, Grantee shall (i) consent to and raise no objections against the Approved Sale or the process pursuant to which the Approved Sale was arranged, (ii) waive any dissenter’s rights and other similar rights, and (iii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of securities, agree to sell Grantee’s Shares on the terms and conditions of the Approved Sale which terms and conditions shall treat all stockholders of the Company equally (on a pro rata basis), except that shares having a liquidation preference may, if so provided in the documents governing such shares, receive an amount of consideration equal to such liquidation preference in addition to the consideration being paid to the holders of Shares not having a liquidation preference. Grantee shall take all necessary and desirable lawful actions as directed by the Board and the stockholders of the Company approving the Approved Sale in connection with the consummation of any Approved Sale, including without limitation, the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (A) provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, non-compete agreements, escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Approved Sale and, (B) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Approved Sale, provided, that this Section 8 shall not require Grantee to indemnify the purchaser in any Approved Sale for breaches of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or any other stockholder, except to the extent (x) Grantee is not required to incur more than its pro rata share of such indemnity obligation (based on the total consideration to be received by all stockholders that are similarly situated and hold the same class or series of capital stock) and (y) such indemnity obligation is provided for and limited to a post-closing escrow or holdback arrangement of cash or stock paid in connection with the Approved Sale.
First Refusal At any time after the first occurrence of a Triggering Event and prior to the later of (a) the expiration of 18 months immediately following the first purchase of shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to the Option and (b) the Option Termination Date, if Grantee shall desire to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Option or the shares of Issuer Common Stock or other securities acquired by it pursuant to the Option, it shall give Issuer written notice of the proposed transaction (an "OFFEROR'S NOTICE"), identifying the proposed transferee, accompanied by a copy of a binding offer to purchase the Option or such shares or other securities signed by such transferee and setting forth the terms of the proposed transaction. An Offeror's Notice shall be deemed an offer by Grantee to Issuer, which may be accepted within 20 business days of the receipt of such Offeror's Notice, on the same terms and conditions and at the same price at which Grantee is proposing to transfer the Option or such shares or other securities to such transferee. The purchase of the Option or any such shares or other securities by Issuer shall be settled within 10 business days of the date of the acceptance of the offer and the purchase price shall be paid to Grantee in immediately available funds; provided that, if prior notification to or approval of any regulatory authority is required in connection with such purchase, Issuer shall promptly file the required notice or application for approval and shall expeditiously process the same (and Grantee shall xxxxxx- ate with Issuer in the filing of any such notice or application and the obtaining of any such approval) and the period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run instead from the date on which, as the case may be, (a) required notification period has expired or been terminated or (b) such approval has been obtained and, in either event, any requisite waiting period shall have passed. In the event of the failure or refusal of Issuer to purchase all of the Option or all of the shares or other securities covered by an Offeror's Notice or if any regulatory authority disapproves Issuer's proposed purchase of any portion of the Option or such shares or other securities, Grantee may, within 60 days from the date of the Offeror's Notice (subject to any necessary extension for regulatory notification, approval or waiting periods), sell all, but not less than all, of such portion of the Option or such shares or other securities to the proposed transferee at no less than the price specified and on terms no more favorable than those set forth in the Offeror's Notice. The requirements of this Section 11 shall not apply to (w) any disposition as a result of which the proposed transferee would own beneficially not more than 2% of the outstanding voting power of Issuer, (x) any disposition of Issuer Common Stock or other securities by a person to whom grantee has assigned its rights under the Option with the consent of Issuer, (y) any sale by means of a public offering registered under the Securities Act in which steps are taken to reasonably assure that no purchaser will acquire securities representing more than 2% of the outstanding voting power of Issuer or (z) any transfer to a wholly owned subsidiary of Grantee which agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof.
Drag Along Right Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Holder has not exercised its Tag-Along Right with respect to the maximum number of Holder’s Shares for which such Holder is permitted (pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii)(B) above) to exercise such Tag-Along Right in respect of a Third Party Sale, then, upon the demand of any Selling Fortress Entity participating in such Third Party Sale (in each such entity’s sole discretion), such Holder shall sell to the respective Third Party the number of whole Holder’s Shares (rounded upwards or downwards, as applicable), whether or not the restrictions on Transfer of Common Stock have lapsed, equal to the product of (x) the total number of Holder’s Shares held by such Holder on the date of the Drag-Along Notice (as defined below) and (y) the Third Party Sale Percentage, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as such Selling Fortress Entity has agreed to with such Third Party; provided, however, that each such Holder shall not be permitted to sell any unvested Holder’s Shares (provided that the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any unvested Holder’s Shares); provided further that such Selling Fortress Entity shall use its reasonable, good faith efforts to provide that (A) the only representation and warranty which such Holder shall be required to make in connection with the Third Party Sale is a representation and warranty with respect to such Holder’s own ownership of the Holder’s Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims and (B) the liability of such Holder with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with the Third Party Sale is the several liability of such Holder (and not joint with any other person) and that such liability is limited to the amount of proceeds actually received by such Holder in the Third Party Sale; provided further, that a Holder shall not be obligated to participate in any Third Party Sale pursuant to this Section 2(b)(iii) unless such Holder is provided an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Third Party Sale is not in violation of applicable federal and state securities or other laws or, if such Holder is not provided with an opinion with respect to the matters contemplated by this proviso, each Selling Fortress Entity who has delivered a Drag-Along Notice to such Holder shall indemnify such Holder for any such violation. If the Third Party Sale is in the form of a merger transaction, each Holder agrees to vote its Holder’s Shares in favor of such merger and not to exercise any rights of appraisal or dissent afforded under applicable law.
