(a) to maintain the size of the Board of Directors of the Company at no more than nine (9) directors;

(f) to cause to be removed forthwith from the Board of Directors any director when removal is requested for any reason, with or without cause, by the Stockholder or group of Stockholders designating the election of such director (the “Designating Stockholder”), and not to remove any director for any other reason other than cause; and

-2-

(g) in case of the death, resignation, or other removal as herein provided of any director, to elect another person designated by the Designating Stockholder (subject to the approval rights set forth above) to fill the vacancy created thereby.

2.2. Board Meetings

Each of the Company and each Stockholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause the Board of Directors to take, all such actions necessary to hold meetings of the Board of Directors at least once each calendar quarter in accordance with the By-Laws.

2.3 Board Observer Rights

Each of (a) GEF and Thunderclap, acting together, and (b) COPLP (but, with respect to COPLP, only at such times that COPLP does not have a representative on the Board of Directors) shall be entitled to appoint one individual (in each case, the “Observer”) to attend, or have one individual attend on its behalf, all meetings of the Board of Directors, and the Observer shall be permitted to attend all meetings of committees thereof to the extent practicable, in each case as an observer, and the Company shall provide the Observer with all information provided to its Board of Directors; provided that the Observer shall agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of all information which he or she learns of as a result of the rights provided by this Section 2.3 and to use the information only for the purposes reasonably related to the Company’s business; provided, further, that the Company reserves the right to exclude the Observer from a meeting or from receiving any information if the Observer’s presence at the meeting or receipt of the information would jeopardize any privilege of the Company or involve highly confidential or sensitive information of the Company or otherwise be deemed by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company to be detrimental to the Company or the Board of Directors’ deliberations. GEF and Thunderclap hereby appoint as their Observer, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxx.

-3-

3. TRANSFER OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Until the earlier of (i) the closing of the first Qualified Public Offering or (ii) at the time as none of the Stockholders hold any Equity Securities, the following restrictions shall apply to the transfer of Equity Securities:

3.1.

Restrictions on Transfer of Shares of Common Stock by the Stockholders

No Stockholder shall Transfer any Equity Securities except pursuant to this Section 3 other than transfers in connection with a public offering under the Act or a Transfer pursuant to a sale of the Company. No Transfer of Equity Securities in violation of this Agreement shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company, and any such attempted Transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

3.2.

Rights of First Refusal

3.2.1. First Refusal Rights

No Stockholder shall Transfer any Equity Securities now or hereafter held or acquired by that Stockholder to any individual or entity except upon receipt of a bona fide Third Party Offer and after any such Stockholder desiring to make the Transfer (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall first deliver a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and to each other Stockholder specifying (i) the name and address of the individual or entity making the Third Party Offer, (ii) the number and class or series of Equity Securities which the Selling Stockholder wishes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), (iii) the cash or other purchase price offered for the Offered Shares (the “Offer Price”), (iv) any other material terms and conditions of the Transfer and (v) a copy of the Third Party Offer. The Transfer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Selling Stockholder to sell to the Company and to each other Stockholder (a “Non-Transferring Stockholder”) the Offered Shares at the price under the same terms and conditions contained in the Transfer Notice.

3.2.2. Company Rights

Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Company shall notify each Non-Transferring Stockholder and the Selling Stockholder as to the number of the Offered Shares, if any, that the Company is electing to purchase (each such notice being a “Company Acceptance”). Each Company Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Stockholder that number of the Offered Shares which the Company has elected to purchase pursuant to its Company Acceptance.

-4-

3.2.3. Stockholder Rights

If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares (or fails to give a Company Acceptance within the time period set forth in Section 3.2.2), the Non-Transferring Stockholders shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remaining Offered Shares that the Company has not agreed to purchase (the “Remaining Offered Shares”). Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Company Acceptance or the expiration of the Company’s period in which to elect to purchase the Offered Shares, as the case may be, each Non-Transferring Stockholder shall notify the Company and the Selling Stockholder as to the number of Remaining Offered Shares, if any, that the Non-Transferring Stockholder is electing to purchase (each such notice being an “Investor Acceptance”). If the number of Remaining Offered Shares is less than the total number included in all Investor Acceptances (as verified by the Company), then the number of Remaining Offered Shares shall be allocated among each Non-Transferring Stockholder who elected to purchase Remaining Offered Shares in the proportion that the number of issued and outstanding Equity Securities owned by such Non-Transferring Stockholder (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis) represents to all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis) owned by all Non-Transferring Stockholders electing to purchase Remaining Offered Shares. Each Investor Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to purchase from the Selling Stockholder that number of the Remaining Offered Shares which the notifying Non-Transferring Stockholder has elected to purchase pursuant to its Investor Acceptance plus any additional Remaining Offered Shares allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence.

3.2.4. Sale by Selling Stockholder

If the Company and/or Non-Transferring Stockholders fail to deliver to the Selling Stockholder a Company Acceptance and/or an Investor Acceptance to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the time frames set forth in Sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 above, the Selling Stockholder (a) shall be under no obligation to sell any of the Offered Shares to the Company or the Non-Transferring Stockholders, unless the Selling Stockholder so elects, and (b) may, within a period of 120 days from the date of the Transfer Notice, sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to one or more Third Parties identified in the Transfer Notice (each a “Third Party Transferee”) for cash or other consideration substantially on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice; provided that if there is more than one Third Party Transferee, the Selling Stockholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts obtain binding and definitive commitments to purchase all the Offered Shares within the 120-day period before any sale to a Third Party Transferee of the Offered Shares may take place. Any Third Party Transferee to whom Offered Shares are Transferred pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 3.2 shall, upon consummation of such Transfer, and as a condition to such Transfer, execute and deliver to the Company and, if requested, to each other Stockholder, a Counterpart and Joinder to this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Joinder”). Upon such execution and delivery, Exhibit B hereto shall be deemed to be amended to include the name of such Third Party Transferee and such transferee shall be joined as a Party to this Agreement as a “Stockholder” for all purposes hereof. If the Selling Stockholder does not complete the sale of the Offered Shares within the 120-day period, the provisions of this Section 3.2 shall again apply, and no Transfer of Equity Securities held by the Selling Stockholder shall be made otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-5-

3.2.5. Closing

The closing of purchases of Offered Shares by the Company (or its designee) and the Remaining Offered Shares by the Non-Transferring Stockholders (or their designees) pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall take place within sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice at 11:00 A.M. local time at the principal offices of the Company (as may reasonably be extended if an appraisal of non-cash consideration is required), or at such other date, time or place as the parties to the sale may agree. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the closing, the Company shall notify the Selling Stockholder(s) in writing of the name and number of purchasers and the portion of the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company and the Remaining Offered Shares to be purchased by the Non-Transferring Stockholders. At the closing, the Selling Stockholder(s) shall sell, transfer and deliver to the Company and the Non-Transferring Stockholders full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares or the Remaining Offered Shares so purchased, free and clear of all liens, security interests or adverse claims of any kind and nature (except as otherwise set forth in the Charter and this Agreement and applicable securities laws) and shall deliver to the Company or the Non-Transferring Stockholders, as applicable, a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares and the Remaining Offered Shares sold, in each case duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly endorsed with signatures guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company or registered broker dealer. Simultaneously with delivery of the certificates, the Company or the Non-Transferring Stockholders, as applicable, shall deliver to the Selling Stockholder(s), in full payment of the purchase price of the Offered Shares and the Remaining Offered Shares purchased, (a) any cash consideration for the shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank and the account designated by the Selling Stockholder(s) and/or (b) any non-cash consideration for the shares to the Selling Stockholder(s) at closing in accordance with the Transfer Notice. The Company and the Non-Transferring Stockholders shall have the absolute right to substitute cash consideration of equal value to any non-cash consideration proposed to be paid by the Third Party Transferee for such non-cash consideration. The parties shall agree on the value of the non-cash consideration within ten (10) Business Days of the date required for delivery of the Investor Acceptance. If the Selling Stockholder and the parties who have delivered Investor Acceptances are unable to agree on the value of the non-cash consideration within such ten (10) Business Day period, the parties shall select an appraiser of recognized national standing to conduct an independent appraisal of the non-cash consideration. Any appraisal conducted pursuant to this section shall be completed no later than thirty (30) Business Days after request therefor and costs related to the appraisal shall be borne equally among the Selling Stockholder and the parties who have delivered acceptance notices.

4. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

4.1. The Company hereby grants to the Preemptive Stockholders the right (but not the obligation) to purchase up to its pro rata share of any New Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A pro rata share of any New Securities is the portion of the New Securities obtained by multiplying the total New Securities proposed to be issued by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then held by the Preemptive Stockholder (assuming the conversion and exercise into Common Stock of all Equity Securities then held by the Preemptive Stockholder), and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming the conversion and exercise into Common Stock of all Equity Securities outstanding on such date). Each Preemptive Stockholder shall have a right of over allotment such that if any Preemptive Stockholder fails to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, the other Preemptive Stockholders may elect to purchase such non-purchasing Preemptive Stockholder’s allotment on a pro rata basis.

-6-

4.2. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each of the Preemptive Stockholders written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. A Preemptive Stockholder shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to notify the Company of its intent to purchase all or a portion of its pro rata share of the New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

4.3. In the event and to the extent a Preemptive Stockholder does not notify the Company of its decision to exercise the rights granted hereunder within the fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Company shall notify any Preemptive Stockholders that have elected to exercise their rights and such Preemptive Stockholders shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such further notice to notify the Company of their intent to exercise their respective over allotment rights with respect to the New Securities that the other Preemptive Stockholders have declined to purchase. In the event and to the extent that the Preemptive Stockholders do not exercise the rights granted hereunder with respect to the New Securities, the Company shall have ninety (90) days from the date notice is provided to the Preemptive Stockholders pursuant to Section 4.2 to effect the sale of the New Securities at a price and on terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Preemptive Stockholders. In the event the sale is not effected within the ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not issue or sell the New Securities without first offering the New Securities to the Preemptive Stockholders in the manner provided in this Section 4.

4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to sell any New Securities to a Stockholder that is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under the Act at the time of such proposed sale.

5. DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS

5.1.

Rights Generally

In the event that (a) a majority of the Board of Directors and (b) Stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities, voting together as a single class (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis, if applicable), then held by all Company Stockholders (collectively, the “Initiating Stockholders”), approve either:

-7-

(A) a transaction in which a Third Party would acquire from Stockholders shares representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company, including for these purposes shares acquired by such Third Party in a Related Transaction, or

(B) a transaction with a Third Party that qualifies as a Liquidation (such events described in subsections (A) and (B) are referred to in this Agreement as a “Sale of the Company”),

each Stockholder agrees with respect to all Equity Securities that such Stockholder holds:

(i) in the event such transaction requires the approval of Stockholders, (a) if the matter is to be brought to a vote at a stockholder meeting, after receiving proper notice of any meeting of Stockholders, to vote on the approval of a Sale of the Company, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of Equity Securities (to the extent such Equity Securities grant such right to the holder thereof), at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings and (b) to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Equity Securities (to the extent such Equity Securities grant such right to the holder thereof) in favor of such Sale of the Company and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;

(ii) in the event that the Sale of the Company is to be effected by the sale of Equity Securities held by the Stockholders without the need for Stockholder approval, to sell all Equity Securities beneficially held by such Stockholder (or in the event that the Initiating Stockholders are selling fewer than all of their Equity Securities, Equity Securities in the same proportion as the Initiating Stockholders are selling) to the Third Party to whom the Initiating Stockholders propose to sell their Equity Securities, on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Stockholders (subject to Section 5.2(ii) below), except that Stockholders will not be required to sell their shares unless (A) the liability for indemnification, if any, of each Stockholder in such Sale of the Company is several, not joint, and is pro rata in accordance with such Stockholder’s relative stock ownership of the Company, and will not exceed the consideration payable to such Stockholder, if any, in such transaction (except in the case of potential liability for fraud or willful misconduct by such Stockholder) and (B) the Stockholders are required to make only representations and warranties that are equivalent to those made by the Initiating Stockholders;

(iii) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;

(iv) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company; and

(v) not to deposit, and to use diligent efforts to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any voting securities owned by such Party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any such voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer in connection with a Sale of the Company.

-8-

5.2. Conditions

The obligations of the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 5 are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) all Stockholders shall participate in the Sale of the Company on a pro rata basis;

(ii) the consideration to be received by each Stockholder shall be the same amount of consideration per share to be received by the Initiating Stockholders for the corresponding class or series of stock (on an-as converted into Common Stock basis) after taking into account the rights, privileges and preferences of any class of Equity Securities outstanding and treating the Stockholders as if a Liquidation had occurred, but not taking into account any discount for illiquidity or lack of control;

(iii) if any Initiating Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received with respect to a class or series of securities it holds, all Stockholders will be given the same option; and

(iv) no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company and no Stockholder shall be obligated to pay more than its pro rata share (based upon the amount of consideration received) of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a consummated Sale of the Company to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the purchaser (costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for its sole benefit will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder).

6. TAG-ALONG RIGHTS

6.1. Subject to Section 3.2, in the event that one or more of the Stockholders (the “Selling Investors”) receives a bona fide Third Party Offer to purchase fifty percent (50%) or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Company in a single transaction (or a transaction preceded by one or more Related Transactions within a 12-month period), the Selling Investors shall deliver a written notice (the “Investor Transfer Notice”) to the Company (such Investor Transfer Notice, in the event of a single transaction, to be delivered in connection with such transaction, and such Investor Transfer Notice, in connection with a transaction preceded by one or more Related Transactions, to be delivered in connection with the transaction pursuant to which the prospective transferee (the “Purchase Offeror”) shall acquire 50% or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities). The Investor Transfer Notice will state (i) the Selling Investors’ bona fide intention to Transfer, (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Equity Securities to be Transferred to the Purchase Offeror (taking into account any preceding Related Transactions) (the “Investor Shares”), (iii) the expected closing date of the transaction, and (iv) confirmation that the Purchase Offeror has been informed of the provisions of this Section 6. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Investor Transfer Notice, deliver a copy of such Investor Transfer Notice to the other Stockholders (each a “Non-Recipient Stockholder”).

-9-

6.2. Any Non-Recipient Stockholder may elect to participate in the Transfer contemplated by Section 6.1 above by delivering a written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Selling Investors and the Company within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Investor Transfer Notice, and each such Non-Recipient Stockholder (each a “Co-Seller”) may elect to Transfer in such contemplated Transfer up to that number of shares of the Company (referred to herein as “Tag-Along Shares”) that is equal to the product of (a) the aggregate number of Investor Shares sold or proposed to be sold by the Selling Investors (taking into account any preceding related transactions) multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Equity Securities owned by such Co-Seller, on an as-converted into Common Stock basis, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Equity Securities, on an as-converted into Common Stock basis, issued and/or issuable to the Selling Investors and to all Co-Sellers after taking into account the rights, privileges and preferences of the Investor Shares as if a Liquidation with respect to all of the Investor Shares and Tag-Along Shares had occurred but not taking into account any discount for illiquidity or lack of control. If any Non-Recipient Stockholder fails to deliver a Tag-Along Notice by the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt of an Investor Transfer Notice, such Stockholder shall be deemed to have elected not to participate in the Transfer covered by such Investor Transfer Notice.

6.3. Each Co-Seller participating in a Transfer shall deliver to the Purchase Offeror at a closing to be held at the offices of the Company (or such other place as the parties agree), one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, which represent the number of Tag-Along Shares which the Co-Seller elects to Transfer, and may Transfer, pursuant to this Section 6. Such certificates shall be transferred by the Co-Seller to the Purchase Offeror simultaneously with the consummation of the Transfer of the Investor Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Investor Transfer Notice against receipt by the Co-Sellers of the proceeds of the Transfer of their respective Tag-Along Shares. If there is to be an agreement of sale or similar instrument with respect to the proposed Transfer (a “Sale Agreement”), the Selling Investors will furnish a copy of the Sale Agreement in its then current form to the Company with the Investor Transfer Notice, and the Company shall furnish a copy thereof to the Non-Recipient Stockholders. As promptly as practicable after receipt of a Tag-Along Notice, if the Sale Agreement has not previously been executed, the Selling Investors shall furnish the Co-Sellers with successive drafts of the Sale Agreement, if any, as they become available. As a condition to making a Co-Sale Notice and being eligible to participate in a Transfer, each Co-Seller shall represent and warrant to the Purchase Offeror with respect to the Tag-Along Shares being disposed of by such Co-Seller that the transferee of the Tag-Along Shares (or interests therein) is receiving such Tag-Along Shares (or interests therein), free and clear of all pledges, security interests or other liens created by such Co-Seller. Each Co-Seller shall accept a proportionate delegation of any duties of the Selling Investors under any Sale Agreement (including any indemnification obligation); provided, however, that (a) no Co-Seller need accept joint liability with respect to representations, warranties or covenants (including without limitation indemnification obligations) of the Selling Investors or any other Co-Sellers, it being agreed that such Sale Agreement shall provide that the liability of such Co-Seller in connection with the sale shall be several only and shall not in any event exceed such Co-Seller’s pro rata share of any net proceeds received in such sale and (b) each Co-Seller shall be required only to make representations or warranties to, or enter into indemnification or contribution arrangements with, the Purchase Offeror relating to the Sale Agreement which are reasonable in the context of the proposed sale including, without limitation, a representation and warranty with respect to the shares or other equity interests being disposed of by such Co-Seller that the transferee of the shares or other equity interests evidenced thereby is receiving such shares or other equity interests, free and clear of all pledges, security interests or other liens. In the event that any prospective transferee or transferees prohibit assignment and delegation of such Sale Agreement or otherwise refuse to purchase any Tag-Along Shares from a Co-Seller, the Selling Investors shall purchase the Tag-Along Shares from each Co-Seller on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Investor Transfer Notice in an amount sufficient to allow the full exercise by the Co-Sellers of the right of co-sale granted hereby; provided, however, that such obligation shall not apply in the event that the Selling Investors fail to consummate the transaction described in the Investor Transfer Notice.

-10-

6.4. Any Transfer made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be consummated on the terms set forth in the Investor Transfer Notice. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to aid such closing, including, but not limited to, exchanging the Co-Seller’s certificates for new certificates in requested denominations.

7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

7.1 At any time when shares of Equity Securities are held by Stockholders, the Company shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Charter) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Stockholders holding a majority of the Equity Securities (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis) then held by all of the Stockholders, which vote must include the affirmative votes of both (a) COPT, but only to the extent it then holds at least 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock it purchased on the date of this Agreement and (b) a Stockholder designated by the holders of a majority of the Equity Securities (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis) then held by GEF, the Xxxxxx Family, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Thunderclap, such designee to initially be Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, but only to the extent that GEF, the Xxxxxx Family, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Thunderclap, as a group, then hold at least 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock they purchased on the date of this Agreement:

(ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company;

(iii) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue any New Securities, or increase the authorized number of shares of Equity Securities;

-11-
