3. Tag-Along Rights.
3.1. If any Founder, directly or indirectly, at any time or from time to time wishes to Transfer (in a single transaction or series of transactions) any Stock, then such Founder (a “Tag-Along Selling Person”) shall notify the Special Holders (in such context, a “Tag-Along Stockholder”) in writing (the “Tag-Along Notice”) of such proposed Transfer and its terms and conditions (including the identity of the buyer (the “Tag-Along Buyer”) and the total shares of Stock to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Selling Person subject to the Tag-Along Right (as defined below).
3.2. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Tag-Along Notice, each Tag-Along Stockholder shall notify the Tag-Along Selling Person if it elects to participate in such Transfer (“Tag-Along Right”) and shall state the shares of Stock that the Tag-Along Stockholder elects to Transfer. Each Tag-Along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer Stock held by such Tag-Along Stockholder determined by multiplying (a) the total shares of Stock held by such Tag-Along Stockholder by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total shares of Stock then proposed to be Transferred directly or indirectly by the Tag-Along Selling Person(s) and the denominator of which is the total shares of Stock then held by the Tag-Along Stockholder and the Tag-Along Selling Person, directly or indirectly.
(a) No Tag-Along Selling Person shall complete or permit the Transfer of Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Selling Person unless the Tag-Along Buyer contemporaneously purchases the shares of Stock the Tag-Along Stockholder has elected to sell in accordance with Section 3.2.
(b) If any Person transfers any shares of Stock in contravention of the Tag-Along Right set forth in this Section 3.2, or if the Tag-Along Buyer is unwilling to purchase the full number of shares of Stock proposed to be sold by a Tag-Along Stockholder, as required hereunder (collectively, a “Prohibited Transfer”), such Stockholder may, by delivery of written notice to the Tag-Along Selling Person (a “Put Notice”) within ten (10) days after the date on which all other Members become aware of the Prohibited Transfer, require the Tag-Along Selling Person to purchase from all other Stockholders for cash or such other consideration as the Tag-Along Selling Person received in the Prohibited Transfer that number of shares of Stock held by all other Stockholders having a purchase price equal to the aggregate purchase price that all other Stockholders would have received in the closing of such Prohibited Transfer if all other Stockholders have exercised his, her or its Tag Along Right with respect thereto. The closing of such sale between all other Stockholders and the Tag-Along Selling Person shall occur within seven (7) days after the date of receipt of the Put Notice by the Tag-Along Selling Person.
3.3. Upon electing to participate, each Tag-Along Stockholder shall be obligated to Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms as the Tag-Along Selling Person, the portion of its Stock determined in accordance with Section 3.2; provided, however, that the sale of the Stock contained in the Tag-Along Notice is completed within ninety (90) days of delivery of the latest notice by a Tag-Along Stockholder evidencing such Stockholder’s election to exercise its Tag-Along Right. Each participating Tag-Along Stockholder shall enter into a purchase agreement substantially in the same form as the Tag-Along Selling Person pursuant to which the Tag-Along Stockholder shall be required only to make customary representations as to its ownership of its Stock to be purchased and the absence of liens or encumbrances thereon. If the sale is not consummated within such ninety (90) day period, then each Tag-Along Stockholder shall no longer be obligated but shall continue to have the right to sell its Stock pursuant to such Tag-Along Right and shall have the rights under, and remain subject to, the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to any subsequent proposed transfer described in this Section 3.2. If any sale by the Tag-Along Selling Person is not consummated within such ninety (90) day period, then the restrictions provided for herein shall again become effective, and no transfer of Stock may be made thereafter by the Tag-Along Selling Person without first complying with this Section 3.2.
4. Drag-Along Right.
4.1. Definitions. A “Sale of the Company” shall mean either: (a) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from Stockholders shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a “Stock Sale”); or (b) a transaction that qualifies as a “Liquidation Transaction” as defined in the Restated Certificate.
4.2. Actions to be Taken. In the event that (i) the holders of more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock then issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock (as defined in the Restated Certificate), excluding shares of Stock held by the Special Holders and (ii) the Special Holders (collectively, the “Electing Holders”) approve a Sale of the Company, then each Stockholder and the Company hereby agree:
(a) if such transaction requires Stockholder approval, with respect to all shares that such Stockholder owns or over which such Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, to
vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all such shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company (together with any related amendment to the Restated Certificate required in order to implement such Sale of the Company) and to vote in opposition to 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;
(b) if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Stockholder as is being sold by the Electing Holders to the Person to whom the Electing Holders propose to sell their shares, and, except as permitted in Section 4.3 below, on the same terms and conditions as the Electing Holders;
(c) 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 or the Electing Holders in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 4, including, without limitation, executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances), and any similar or related documents;
(d) not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any shares of the Company owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company;
(e) 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;
(f) if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the shares pursuant to this Section 4 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities; or (y) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the shares; and
(g) in the event that the Electing Holders, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint a stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) with respect to matters affecting the Stockholders under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (x) to consent to (i) the appointment of such Stockholder Representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of such Stockholder’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Stockholder Representative in connection with such Stockholder Representative’s services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the Stockholders, and (y) not to assert any claim or commence any suit against the Stockholder Representative or any other Stockholder with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its service as the Stockholder Representative, absent fraud or willful misconduct.
4.3. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder will not be required to comply with Section 4.2 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”), unless:
(a) any representations and warranties to be made by such Stockholder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such shares, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties that (i) the Stockholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the shares such Stockholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Stockholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Stockholder have been duly executed by the Stockholder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Stockholder 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 the Stockholder’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;
(b) the Stockholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, 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 identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Stockholders);
(c) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Stockholders in connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person (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 identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Stockholders), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale;
(d) liability shall be limited to such Stockholder’s applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Stockholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Stockholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Stockholder;
(e) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale (i) each holder of each class or series of Stock will receive the same form of consideration for their shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same class or series of Stock, (ii) each holder of a series of Preferred Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same series, (iii) each holder of Common Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, and (iv) the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Liquidation Transaction (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a
Liquidation Transaction) in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale; and
(f) subject to clause (e) above, requiring the same form of consideration to be available to the holders of any single class or series of Stock, if any holders of any Stock of the Company are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such Stock will be given the same option; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3(f) shall entitle any holder to receive any form of consideration that such holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of such holder’s failure to satisfy any condition, requirement or limitation that is generally applicable to the Stockholders.
5. Pre-Emptive Rights.
5.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any new Stock (other than with respect to issuances described in Section 5.6, below) (the “New Securities”), the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each of the Founders and the Special Holders (each, a “Pre-Emptive Stockholder”).

5.2. The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Pre-Emptive Stockholder, stating (a) its bona fide intention to offer New Securities, (b) the number of New Securities to be offered, and (c) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

5.4. At the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 5.3, the Company shall promptly notify each Pre-Emptive Stockholder that elects to purchase or acquire all the New Securities available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Stockholder”) of any other Pre-Emptive Stockholder’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Stockholder may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares of New Securities specified above, up to such Fully Exercising Stockholders Overallotment Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities for which Pre-Emptive Stockholders were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Pre-Emptive Stockholders. For purposes hereof, a Fully Exercising Stockholder’s “Overallotment Pro Rata Portion” is equal to the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by such Fully Exercising Stockholder, by (ii) the number of shares of Stock then held by all Fully Exercising Stockholders who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares of Stock. The closing of any sale pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given.
5.5. If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons, at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if
such agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Pre-Emptive Stockholders in accordance with this Section 5.
5.6. The provisions of Section 5, above, shall not apply to the securities excluded from the definition of “Additional Stock,” as set forth in Section 4(d)(i)(B) of Article IV(B) of the Restated Certificate.

The undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Lock-Up Securities even if the Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.
