The Co-Sale Right shall be exercisable upon written notice (the “Co-Sale Acceptance Notice”) to the Selling Stockholder and the Buyer within 20 days after receipt by such Co-Sale Offeree of the Co-Sale Notice. The Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall indicate the number and type of Voting Securities that such Co-Sale Offeree wishes to sell at the Co-Sale Price. The obligation of any Co-Sale Offeree to sell Voting Securities as to which such Co-Sale Offeree has exercised the Co-Sale Right, and the obligation of any Buyer to purchase and pay for such Voting Securities, shall be subject to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer.

(c) Each Co-Sale Offeree electing to sell Voting Securities to a Buyer pursuant to this Section 2 shall, on the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the type and number of Voting Securities that such Co-Sale Offeree so elects to sell. If the Buyer fails or refuses to accept, purchase and pay for any Voting Securities delivered by a Co-Sale Offeree who has elected to sell such Voting Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section 2, then the Selling Stockholder shall not transfer to such Buyer or to any Affiliate of such Buyer any Voting Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of Voting Securities by a Selling Stockholder that has failed to deliver a Co-Sale Notice in compliance with the terms of this Section 2 or to a Buyer or an Affiliate of a Buyer that has failed or refused to accept, purchase or pay for any Voting Securities delivered by a Co-Sale Offeree who has elected to sell such Voting Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section 2 shall be void ab initio and the Company shall refuse to register or otherwise recognize any such transfer or purported transfer.

Voting Securities after the Effective Date, whether as a result of the acquisition of Stockholder Shares from an Original Holder or another Stockholder or the acquisition of any Voting Securities issued by the Company after the Effective Date. The Company shall not register or otherwise recognize the transfer of any Voting Securities to any Person who is not then a Party (including any Buyer) or issue any Voting Securities to any Person who is not then a Party unless such Person executes and delivers an Adoption Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon such execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any Person who is not an Original Holder, such Person shall be deemed to be a Stockholder and shall be Party as if such Person’s signature appeared on the signature pages hereto.

6. Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured Party for the breach of this Agreement by any other Party, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each Party waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

7. Covenants of the Company. The Company will cause all certificates representing any Voting Securities issued to any Person during the term of this Agreement to bear the legend required by Section 5, and will supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Voting Securities upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The Parties agree, however, that the failure to cause any certificates representing Voting Securities to bear the legend required by Section 5 and/or failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement, as provided in this Section 7, shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

8. Captions. The captions, headings and table of contents used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions hereof.

10. Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until, but be of no further force or effect upon, the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering.

11. Amendments and Waivers.

12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
