If the Drag-Along Sale is not consummated with respect to any Common Shares acquired upon exercise of such options, or the Drag-Along Sale is not consummated, such options shall be deemed not to have been exercised or canceled, as applicable.

• 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 Class B Stockholders do not elect to purchase such Shares pursuant to Section 5.4, the Transferring Stockholders shall, prior to such sale, deliver to the other Class B Stockholders prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Transferred Shares”) and the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitutes of the total number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholders, (iii) the proposed purchase price therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including the proposed sale date (which date may not be less than 30 days after delivery of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed transferee to purchase the Transferred Shares, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholders, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholders and the transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the other Class B Stockholders in such sale consistent with this Section 5.5.

• Pre-Emptive Rights (a) Subject to Section 6(b) below, if the Company proposes to issue any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents, in each case after the date of this Agreement, the Company will offer to sell to each Stockholder a number of such securities ("Offered Shares") so that the Ownership Ratio for such holder immediately after the issuance of such securities (and assuming the purchase of such Offered Shares) would be equal to the Ownership Ratio for such holder immediately prior to such issuance of securities. The Company shall give each such holder at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any proposed issuance, which notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the proposed terms and conditions of such issuance (the "Issuance Notice"). Each such Stockholder will be entitled to purchase such securities at the same price, on the same terms (including, if more than one type of security is issued, the same proportionate mix of such securities), and at the same time as the securities are issued by delivery of irrevocable written notice (the "Election Notice") to the Company of such election within ten (10) days after delivery of the Issuance Notice (the "Preemptive Period"). If any such Stockholder has elected to purchase any Offered Shares, the sale of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Election Notice. To the extent such Stockholders do not elect to, or are not entitled to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then the Company may issue the remaining Offered Shares at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof specified in the Issuance Notice during the 120-day period following the Preemptive Period.
