Right of First Refusal in Favor of the Company. If Optionee receives a Bona Fide Third Party Offer (as such term is defined below) to purchase all or any portion of the Shares, regardless of whether such Bona Fide Third Party Offer is unsolicited or is obtained as a result of Optionee’s efforts following compliance with Section 4 above, and Optionee desires to accept such Bona Fide Third Party Offer, Optionee shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, deliver a written notice (the “Right of First Refusal Notice”) to the Company setting forth the terms of the Bona Fide Third Party Offer and shall therein offer to sell such Shares (the “Right of First Refusal Shares”) to the Company on the terms set forth in the Bona Fide Third Party Offer. As used herein, “Bona Fide Third Party Offer” shall mean an arms-length offer in writing by a third party to Optionee which shall include at least the following: (i) the third party’s expressed offer to purchase the Right of First Refusal Shares; (ii) the price per share to purchase the Right of First Refusal Shares; and (iii) the method of payment and other terms and conditions for the purchase of the Right of First Refusal Shares. For a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice, the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase any or all of the Right of First Refusal Shares in the same manner and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Bona Fide Third Party Offer. In the event the Company elects to purchase any of the Right of First Refusal Shares, the Company shall give written notice to Optionee of the Company’s election within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice indicating the number of Right of First Refusal Shares the Company is electing to purchase, and shall consummate the purchase of such Right of First Refusal Shares within thirty (30) days of such notice of election upon the terms set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice. In the event the Company does not respond to the Right of First Refusal Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have declined to exercise its rights under this Section 5. In the event the Company does not purchase all of the Right of First Refusal Shares, Optionee may sell the Right of First Refusal Shares which are not purchased by the Company to the third party in accordance with the terms set forth in the Bona Fide Third Party Offer; provided, however, that if the proposed transaction is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the date the Company exercises, declines to exercise or is deemed to have declined to exercise its rights hereunder, then the Right of First Refusal Shares shall again be subject to all of the restrictions of this Section 5. The Company’s rights set forth in this Section 5 shall terminate upon the first to occur of (A) the written agreement of the Company and Optionee and (B) the consummation by the Company of the first sale of Common Stock in a bona fide, firm commitment underwriting pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Act.
