Related to Transfer Sale Rights

• 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.

• 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:

• Resale Rights In the event that an Investor elects to request a Registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Investor.

• 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.

• 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 Section 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 Section 2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 2.2(d)(i) and the first sentence of Section 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 Section 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 Section 2.2.

• Sale and Transfer of Shares Closing Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the following will occur:

• Drag-Along Rights If a person or entity (the “Offeror”) offers to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares in any Acquisition Transaction (as defined in Article 124 of the Restated Articles) or Sale of Assets (as defined in Article 124 of the Restated Articles) and Shareholders holding at least (i) a majority of the aggregate number of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares and (ii) a majority of the aggregate number of the Company’s outstanding Preference Shares, with such Preference Shares voting together on as-converted basis and not as a separate series, (the “Accepting Shareholders”) accept such offer, the Accepting Shareholders are entitled to give all (but not less than all) of the remaining shareholders (“Remaining Shareholders”) a written notice (“Drag-Along Notice”) and require each Remaining Shareholder to sell to the Offeror all of the Ordinary Share and/or Preference Shares held by each such Remaining Shareholder at the same price and on the same terms and conditions specified in the Drag-Along Notice. The Drag-Along Notice shall specify (i) the identity of the Offeror; (ii) the price payable for each class or series of the Company’s shares; and (iii) all other material terms and conditions of the offer made by the Offeror. Such Drag-Along Notices shall be delivered by the Accepting Shareholders to the Company to the attention of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, and the Company shall thereupon cause such notices to be transmitted to each Remaining Shareholders at its registered address maintained with the Company. Charges for such transmittal shall be against the account of the Accepting Shareholders, who will be required to indicate the method of transmission to be used by the Company in this regard (e.g., regular post, express courier, etc.). The Company may require advance payment of funds from the Accepting Shareholders to cover the costs of transmitting such notices. In furtherance of a sale of the shares of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 and Article 31 of the Restated Articles, the Company is authorized to sell the Ordinary Shares and/or Preference Shares held by the Remaining Shareholders on behalf of the Remaining Shareholders, and pursuant to such authorization, may execute all documents necessary to effectuate the sale and transfer of such shares on behalf of the Remaining Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, the Remaining Shareholders shall not be obligated to sell their Ordinary Shares and/or Preference Shares, and the Company shall not be authorized to sell the Ordinary Shares and/or Preference Shares held by the Remaining Shareholders in accordance with the preceding sentence, if the Accepting Shareholders do not complete the sale of all of their Ordinary Shares and/or Preference Shares to the Offeror on the same terms and conditions specified in the Drag-Along Notice. This Section 5.1 shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the Company’s IPO; or (ii) a Merger.

• 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.

• Sale and Transfer of Shares Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser all the issued and outstanding Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for any Encumbrance arising under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept the Shares from Seller.

• 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.
