First Refusal Rights The Company may elect to purchase all (but -------------------- not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to Executive and the Investors within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been delivered to the Company. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, the Investors may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering written notice of such election to Executive within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Investors. If more than one Investor elects to purchase the Executive Stock, the shares of Executive Stock to be sold shall be allocated among the Investors pro rata according to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Investor on a fully-diluted basis. If neither the Company nor the Investors elect to purchase all of the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 60-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 60-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 4(c) upon subsequent transfer. If the Company or any of the Investors have elected to purchase shares of Executive Stock hereunder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to Executive, but in any event within 15 days after the expiration of the Election Period. The Company may pay the purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under the Executive Note issued to the Company hereunder and any other bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company.
Transfer Rights Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
Drag-Along Rights (a) If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, any Investor (the “Drag-Along Seller”) secures an irrevocable offer to acquire all share capital or assets of the Company (a “Drag-Along Sale”) with a valuation of the Company of more than US$600,000,000 with any Person (such Person, a “Drag-Along Purchaser”) upon such terms and conditions as agreed to with the Drag-Along Seller, and such Drag-Along Sale is agreed by a majority vote of the other Investors and a majority vote of the Founders, each other Investor (an “Other Investor”) agrees, at the request of the Drag-Along Seller, to participate in such Drag-Along Sale as set forth in this Section 9.1.
(b) If the Drag-Along Sale is structured as a sale of Shares, each Other Investor shall sell to the Drag-Along Purchaser all Shares then held by such Other Investor on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Drag-Along Seller, including the same per-share consideration with respect to a specific class of Shares, and shall execute the necessary transfer forms in favor of the Drag-Along Purchaser; provided that the proceeds from such sale of any Round C Investors shall not be less than the higher of (i) the Series A Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles) or (ii) the purchase price as stated in the offer of the Drag-Along Purchaser pro rata based on the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Round C Investors (on an as-converted basis); provided, further, that except with respect to any liability incurred by such Other Investor individually, such Other Investor shall not be liable to a Drag-Along Purchaser for an amount greater than the proceeds from such sale.
(c) If the Drag-Along Sale is structured as a merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement of the Company or other transaction that requires the approval of the Investors, each Investor shall vote its respective Shares (or execute and deliver any written consents in lieu thereof) in favor of any Drag-Along Sale and all actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Drag-Along Seller in connection with the Drag-Along Sale, and against any action or proposal that may prevent, hinder or impede the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale.
(d) The Drag-Along Seller shall provide written notice of a proposed Drag-Along Sale to the Other Investors (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) not later than ten (10) days prior to such proposed Drag-Along Sale. The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall identify the Drag-Along Purchaser, the per-Ordinary Share consideration for which a transfer is proposed to be made (the “Drag-Along Sale Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale. Each Other Investor shall be required to participate in the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Sale Notice and to tender its Shares. The price and form of consideration payable in such transfer shall be the Drag-Along Sale Price.
(e) The Drag-Along Seller shall have a period of 180 days from the date of receipt of the Drag-Along Sale Notice to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Drag-Along Sale Notice, which Drag-Along Sale shall be promptly consummated, subject to fulfilling any closing conditions and obtaining any required regulatory approvals. If the Drag-Along Seller has not entered into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale within such 180-day period and the Drag-Along Seller proposes to effect a Drag-Along Sale after such 180-day period, the Drag-Along Seller shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.1(e).
(f) In connection with a Drag-Along Sale, each Other Investor shall (i) make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such definitive agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Drag-Along Sale, (ii) benefit from and be subject to all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as are applicable to the Drag-Along Seller, (iii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in respect of the purchase price or indemnification obligations; provided that an Other Investor shall only be obligated to indemnify any other Person in connection with such Drag-Along Sale severally; provided, further, that no Other Investor shall be obligated to indemnify any other shareholder for any breach or misrepresentation by such other shareholder with respect to title in such other shareholder’s equity securities, (iv) be required to bear its proportionate share of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company and the Investors in connection with the proposed transaction (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions (including, if requested by the Drag-Along Seller, an investment banking firm selected by the Drag-Along Seller and engaged, on customary terms (including customary indemnification from the Company)), to the extent not paid by the Company, and (v) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, not exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights to which they may be entitled in connection with a Drag-Along Sale.
Preemptive Rights (a) In the event that the Purchaser Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock then outstanding, if NewCo engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities by NewCo and such sale or issuance would cause the Purchaser to Beneficially Own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance, the Purchaser will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from NewCo, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, up to an amount (the “Amount”) necessary to enable the Purchaser to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance; provided, that, if the transaction at issue is an acquisition, merger or other business combination involving a Third Party by NewCo in which NewCo issues or sells Covered Securities as consideration for the transaction, such Covered Securities shall be deemed to be offered at the per share purchase price implied from the transaction terms as of the time of entry into the agreement for such transaction; provided, further, that, if such per share purchase price is not reasonably ascertainable, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be the trading price of the NewCo Common Stock at the close of the business on the day immediately prior to the public disclosure or announcement of such transaction.
(b) If NewCo proposes to engage in a transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities described in Section 8.12(a) above, NewCo will first submit written notice (the “Notice of Preemptive Rights”) to the Purchaser disclosing the terms of the proposed sale or issuance transaction (which notice will set forth all material terms, including price, number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, and the type of securities to be sold or issued). The Notice of Preemptive Rights will include an offer to the Purchaser to purchase up to the Purchaser’s Amount of such Covered Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Purchaser than those on which NewCo proposes to sell such Covered Securities to the third party or parties. Such offer as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights will remain open for a period of at least 15 Business Days after the Notice of Preemptive Rights is delivered, prior to the expiration of which period the Purchaser may accept such offer by written notice to NewCo setting forth the number of Covered Securities that the Purchaser intends to purchase. The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time.
(c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.
First Right of Refusal If any Partner shall enter into an agreement to sell their ownership interest in the Partnership with an individual or entity that is not a current Partner, the following parties must be given a first right of refusal before such a transaction can take place:
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.
Co-Sale Rights (a) In the event any Member (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Selling Member”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Co-Sale Units”) other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, the Selling Member shall deliver a written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to each other Member (each, a “Co-Sale Offeree”) at least thirty (30) days prior to making such Transfer describing the general terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the purchase price for the Co-Sale Units, the proposed purchaser(s), the closing date for the sale and the portion of the Selling Member’s Units to be Transferred (the “Co-Sale Participation Percentage”). Each Co-Sale Offeree may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer at the same price and on the same terms and conditions by delivering written notice to the Selling Member within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Co-Sale Notice, which notice shall specify the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree desires to include in such proposed Transfer, provided that such percentage shall not exceed the Co-Sale Participation Percentage. If a Co-Sale Offeree does not give such notice prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15)-day period for giving such notice, then the Selling Member may Transfer the Co-Sale Units to any Person on terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Co-Sale Notice at any time within ninety (90) days after expiration of such fifteen (15)-day period for giving notice (provided, that if any governmental or other third party approval is required with respect to such Transfer, then such period shall be extended until a reasonable time after such approvals are obtained). Any Co-Sale Units not Transferred by the Selling Member during such ninety (90)-day period (as such period may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.15 prior to any subsequent Transfer.
(b) To the extent that one or more Co-Sale Offerees exercises its right of participation pursuant to Section 11.15(a), then, at the Selling Member’s option, either the percentage of Units that the Selling Member and each other participating Co-Sale Offeree may sell in the transaction shall be reduced below the applicable Co-Sale Participation Percentage to a percentage equal to the Selling Member’s or the participating Co-Sale Offeree’s (as applicable) pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer, or the aggregate Units to be sold in the transaction shall be increased to accommodate the Units of those participating Co-Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 11.15.
(c) The Selling Member shall not Transfer any Co-Sale Units to any prospective transferee if such prospective transferee declines to purchase Units from participating Co-Sale Offerees, unless the Selling Member acquires from each such participating Co-Sale Offeree (on the terms set forth in the Co-Sale Notice) its pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer (or, if less, the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree requested to Transfer to such transferee) on the same price, terms and conditions as would be applicable in a direct sale of such Units to the proposed transferee. The Selling Member will endeavor to facilitate the purchase by any prospective transferee of Units held by a Co-Sale Offeree which are not eligible for co-sale pursuant to this Section 11.15 if and to the extent such Co-Sale Offeree wishes to include such interests in the Transfer, but neither the Selling Member nor any other Person shall be liable if the prospective transferee declines to do so.
Preemptive Right The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) any other equity security of the Company, including without limitation, Preferred Stock, (iii) any debt security of the Company (other than debt with no equity feature) including without limitation, any debt security which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the Company, (iv) any security of the Company that is a combination of debt and equity, or (v) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such equity security or any debt security of the Company specified in (i)-(iv) above, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell a portion of such securities (the “Offered Securities”) to each Investor who holds at least 5% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (each an “Offeree” and collectively, the “Offerees”) as follows: each Offeree shall have the right (but not an obligation) to purchase (x) up to that portion of the Offered Securities as the number of shares of capital stock then held by such Offeree (assuming for such purposes exercise, conversion and exchange of all outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities of the Company exercisable, convertible and/or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock) bears to the total number of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (assuming for such purposes exercise, conversion and exchange of all outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities of the Company exercisable, convertible and/or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock) (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such Offeree shall indicate it will purchase should the other Offerees subscribe for less than their respective Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to such Offeree (the “Offer”), which Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt thereof. The Offer shall disclose the identity of the proposed transferee, the Offered Securities proposed to be sold, and the terms and conditions (including price) of the proposed sale.
Put Rights The Warrantholder shall have the following Put Rights:
(a) At the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) a Change of Control, the Warrantholder may notify the Company in writing (the "PUT NOTICE") of the Warrantholder's desire to cause the Company to repurchase, in the case of clause (i) above, all (but not less than all) of the Warrant Shares (issued or represented by the Warrant) at a price per share equal to the Repurchase Price (the "Five-Year Put"), or, in the case of clause (ii) above, the Warrant at the Change of Control Repurchase Price (the "Change of Control Put").
(b) If the Company receives a Put Notice pursuant to Section 7(a), it shall deliver to the Warrantholder, by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as soon as practicable and if possible within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Company of the Put Notice, a notice stating: (i) the date as of which such repurchase shall occur (which date (the "Put Closing") shall be not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, but in any event prior to the Expiration Date); (ii) in the case of a Five-Year Put, the number of Warrant Shares (issued or represented by this Warrant) to be purchased from the Warrantholder and the Repurchase Price (which shall be calculated as of the date of the Put Notice) or, in the case of a Change of Control Put, the Change of Control Repurchase Price; and (iii) the place or places where certificate or certificates representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares are to be surrendered for payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall have no obligation to send the notice set forth above or to repurchase the Warrants and Warrant Shares following the exercise of the Five Year Put (and the provisions of paragraph (c) below shall not be applicable to any failure by the Company to repurchase the Warrants and the Warrant Shares following the exercise of the Five Year Put), unless the holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants (the "Investor Warrant Shares") shall also have exercised the "five year put" provided for in the Investor Warrants.
(c) With respect to Warrants and Warrant Shares properly tendered for repurchase, if the Company fails to pay the Repurchase Price or the Change of Control Repurchase Price on the date fixed for repurchase, the Corporation shall also pay interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded on a quarterly basis, until such time as such satisfaction shall have occurred.
(d) At the Put Closing, the Warrantholder shall deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the Warrantholder's Warrant or Warrant Shares and the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder an amount equal to, in the case of a Five-Year Put, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of such Warrant Shares (issued or represented by this Warrant) by (ii) the Repurchase Price or, in the case of a Change of Control Put, the Change of Control Repurchase Price, by cashier's or certified check payable to the Warrantholder or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Warrantholder.
(e) The Company shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate of the Company to) enter into any contract or other consensual arrangement that by its terms restricts the Company's ability to honor the Put.
Drag Along If the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s voting stock then-outstanding (the “Majority Holders”) propose to sell, assign or transfer, directly or indirectly, all of their shares of capital stock of the Company to any third party (a “Drag-Along Transfer”), the Majority Holders may exercise drag-along rights in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 9 (“Drag-Along Rights”).
(a) The Majority Holders shall give written notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such proposed Drag-Along Transfer to Participant of any election by the Majority Holders to exercise their Drag-Along Rights hereunder, setting forth (i) the shares proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such shares, (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee, and (iv) any other material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. Such notice shall also specify the aggregate number of shares Participant shall be required to transfer. Any transfer of shares by Participant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be for the same amount and form of consideration per share as the Majority Holders will receive in such Drag-Along Transfer, as specified in the Drag-Along Notice.
(b) Within seven (7) days of delivery of the Drag-Along Notice, Participant shall deliver to the Majority Holders such instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders or the prospective transferee, including, as applicable, one or more stock certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the transferee, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Majority Holders to transfer such Shares on the terms set forth in the Drag-Along Notice.
(c) In the event that any transfer pursuant to this Section 9 is structured as a merger, consolidation or business combination, or any sale of all or substantially all assets, Participant must further agree to (i) vote or provide a written consent in favor of the transaction, (ii) take such other action within its power, at no cost to it (other than fees and expenses payable to its advisors, which shall be paid by Participant), as may be required to effect such transaction, and (iii) take all action to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights with respect thereto.
(d) If the Drag-Along Transfer is not consummated within one hundred and eighty (180) days after delivery of the Drag-Along Notice, the Majority Holders shall (i) return to each Drag-Along Holder the limited power-of-attorney and all certificates representing the shares that Participant delivered pursuant to this Section 9 and any other documents in the possession of the Majority Holders executed by Participant in connection with the proposed Drag-Along Transfer.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Drag-Along Holder will not be required to comply with this Section 9 in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Transfer, unless:
(i) Any representations and warranties to be made by Participant in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to the Shares, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties that (i) Participant holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares that Participant purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of Participant in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by Participant have been duly executed by Participant and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against Participant in accordance with their respective terms; and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of Participant’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;
(ii) Participant shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other person in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of the identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders);
(iii) the liability for indemnification, if any, of Participant in the Drag-Along Transfer and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company, the Majority Holders or the Purchaser in connection with such Drag-Along Transfer, is several and not joint (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of the identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders), and subject to any provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, related to the allocation of the escrow, is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to Participant in connection with such Drag-Along Transfer; and
(iv) upon the consummation of the Drag-Along Transfer, Participant will receive the same amount and form of consideration per share for Participant’s shares as is received by the Majority Holders.
(f) All costs and expenses incurred by Participant in connection with any Drag-Along Transfer, including, without limitation, transfer taxes and legal, accounting and investment banking fees, shall be borne by Participant.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of the Majority Holders to Participant if a Drag-Along Transfer is not consummated for any reason, and the Majority Holders shall not be obligated to consummate the proposed Drag-Along Transfer, regardless of whether the Majority Holders have delivered a Drag-Along Notice in respect of such Proposed Drag-Along Transfer.
