2.3 Rights of First Refusal.

(a) Offering Notice. Subject to Section 2.1, if, at any time prior to the Initial Public Offering, any holder of Shares wishes to transfer all or any portion of its, his or her Shares (a “Selling Shareholder”) to any Person other than to a Permitted Transferee (a “Third Party Purchaser”) and other than in a transaction described above in Section 2.2, such Selling Shareholder shall offer such Shares first to each holder of Shares other than the Selling Shareholder (collectively, the “Non-Selling Shareholders”), by sending written notice (an “Offering Notice”) to the Company and each Non-Selling Shareholder, which shall state: (a) the name and address of the proposed purchaser; (b) the number of Shares of Capital Stock proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Securities”); (c) the proposed purchase price per Share for the Offered Securities (the “Offer Price”); and (d) the other terms and conditions of such sale. Upon delivery of the Offering Notice, such offer shall be irrevocable unless and until the rights of first refusal provided for herein shall have been waived or shall have expired.

(b) Non-Selling Shareholder Option; Exercise. For a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of the Offering Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) (the “Non-Selling Shareholder Option Period”), each Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right (hereby granted by each holder of Shares of Capital Stock) (the “Non-Selling Shareholder Option”) but not the obligation to purchase its, his or her pro rata share (based on each Non-Selling Shareholder’s percentage ownership of Shares of Capital Stock of the Company then outstanding (excepting therefrom the percentage owned by the Selling Shareholder)) of the Offered Securities at a purchase price equal to the Offer Price; provided, however, that if the Offer Price is not to be paid in cash, the Non-Selling Shareholders shall have the right to substitute cash in the amount of the Offer Price (based on the fair market value of the consideration constituting the Offer Price, as determined in good faith by a majority of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors (i.e.,

excluding any Board member(s) who is the Selling Shareholder or who is designated by the Selling Shareholder)) and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice. The right of each Non-Selling Shareholder to purchase the Offered Securities under this Section 2.3 (b) shall be exercisable by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof, prior to the expiration of the Non-Selling Shareholder Option Period, to the Selling Shareholder with a copy to the Company. The failure of any Non-Selling Shareholder to respond within the Non-Selling Shareholder Option Period to the Selling Shareholder shall be deemed to be a waiver of that Non-Selling Shareholder’s rights under this Section 2.3(b).

(c) Company Option; Exercise. If the Non-Selling Shareholders do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Securities pursuant to Section 2.3(b), then, for a period of thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Non-Selling Shareholder Option Period pursuant to Section 2.3(b) (the “Company Option Period”), the Company shall have the right (hereby granted by each holder of Shares of Capital Stock) (the “Company Option”) but not the obligation to purchase any or all of the remaining Offered Securities at a purchase price equal to the Offer Price; provided, however, that if the Offer Price is not to be paid in cash, the Company shall have the right to substitute cash in the amount of the Offer Price (based on the fair market value of the consideration constituting the Offer Price, as determined in good faith by a majority of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors, including the Walnut Directors (unless Walnut is the Selling Shareholder) (i.e., excluding any Board member(s) who is the Selling Shareholder or who is designated by the Selling Shareholder)), and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice. The right of the Company to purchase any or all of the remaining Offered Securities under this Section 2.3(c) shall be exercisable by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof, prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day Company Option Period, to the Selling Shareholder with a copy to all Non-Selling Shareholders, which notice shall state the number of Offered Securities proposed to be purchased by the Company. The failure of the Company to respond within such thirty (30) day Company Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Company’s rights under this Section 2.3(c).

(d) Closing. Subject to Section 2.3(e), the closing of the purchases of Offered Securities subscribed for by the Non-Selling Shareholders and/or the Company under this Section 2.3 shall be held at the executive offices of the Company at 11:00 a.m., local time, on the seventy-fifth (75^th) day after the giving of the Offering Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. At such closing, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver certificates representing the Offered Securities, duly endorsed for transfer or with executed stock powers attached, and payment of all requisite transfer taxes, if any. The Offered Securities shall be free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to actions by the purchasers thereof) and the Selling Shareholder shall so represent and warrant, and shall further represent and warrant that it, he or she is the sole beneficial and record owner of such Offered Securities. The Non-Selling Shareholders and/or the Company, as the case may be, purchasing Offered Securities shall deliver at the closing payment in full in immediately available funds for the Offered Securities purchased by it, him or her. At such closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as are otherwise necessary.

(e) Sale to a Third Party Purchaser. Unless the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities under Sections

2.3(b) and 2.3(c), but in any event subject to Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement, the Selling Shareholder may sell all, but not less than all, of the remaining Offered Securities to the Third Party Purchaser and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice; provided, however, that such sale is bona fide and made pursuant to a contract entered into within sixty (60) days after the earlier to occur of: (i) the waiver by all of the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company of their options to purchase the Offered Securities; and (ii) the expiration of the Company Option Period (the “Contract Date”); and provided further, that such sale shall not be consummated unless and until such Third Party Purchaser complies with Sections 2.2 and 4.2 hereof. If such sale is not consummated within thirty (30) days after the Contract Date for any reason, then the restrictions provided for herein shall again become effective, and no transfer of such Offered Securities may be made thereafter by the Selling Shareholder without again offering the same to the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company in accordance with this Section 2.3.

ARTICLE 3.
TAG-ALONG RIGHTS

3.1 Tag Along Rights With Respect to Sales of Common Stock. If: (x) any Shareholder beneficially owning five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding New Class A Preferred (of all Series, taken together), New Class B Preferred (of all Series, taken together) or Common Stock, calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis, desires to Transfer not less than ten percent (10%) of such holder’s New Class A Preferred, New Class B Preferred or Common Stock (a “Selling Article 3 Shareholder”) to a Third Party Purchaser and other than in a transaction described above in Section 2.2; and (y) the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company do not exercise its, his, her or their options to purchase all of the shares of Capital Stock offered by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder (the “Tag-Along Offered Securities”) in accordance with Section 2.3, then each of the Class B Shareholders (each, a “Tag-Along Rightholder”), but specifically excluding the holders of shares of Common Stock or of any other Capital Stock, shall have the right (hereby granted by each Shareholder) to “tag-along” on any such Transfer as set forth in this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Selling Article 3 Shareholder may consummate any transaction described in the sentence immediately preceding without complying with the provisions of this Article 3. Each Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall notify the Company and each Tag-Along Rightholder of its desire to Transfer such Shares by sending written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) in accordance with Section 3.2. Each Tag-Along Rightholder shall have the right to sell to such Third Party Purchaser, upon the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, that number of Shares of Common Stock then held by such Tag-Along Rightholder or which will be held by such Tag-Along Rightholder immediately after conversion of all or a portion of its New Class B Preferred, in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Tag-Along Rightholder Securities”) equal to that percentage of the Tag-Along Offered Securities determined by dividing: (A) the total number of Tag-Along Rightholder Securities then owned by such Tag-Along Rightholder by (B) the sum of: (x) the total number of Tag-Along Rightholder Securities then owned by all such Tag-Along Rightholders exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 3.1; and (y) the total number of shares of New Class A Preferred, New Class B Preferred and Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted basis, if applicable) proposed to be sold by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder. Subject to the proviso below, the Selling Article 3 Shareholder and the Tag-Along Rightholder(s) exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall effect the sale of the Tag-Along Offered

Securities and such Tag-Along Rightholder Securities respectively, with the number of Tag-Along Offered Securities to be Transferred to such Third Party Purchaser by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder reduced accordingly; provided, however, that if the Third Party Purchaser wishes to purchase some but not all of the total amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities (including the Tag-Along Rightholder Securities requested to be sold by such Tag-Along Rightholder(s)), then the amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities and Tag-Along Rightholders Securities to be sold to the Third Party Purchaser shall be sold in accordance with the ratio of the amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities requested to be sold by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder and each Tag-Along Rightholder, respectively, to the total number of Tag-Along Offered Securities and Tag-Along Rightholders Securities requested to be sold.

3.2 Notice of Sale. The Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall give notice to each Tag-Along Rightholder of each proposed sale by it of shares of Capital Stock that gives rise to the rights of the Tag-Along Rightholders set forth in Section 3.1, at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed consummation of such Transfer, setting forth the name of such Selling Article 3 Shareholder, the number of shares of Capital Stock proposed to be transferred (the “Tag-Along Offered Securities”), the name and address of the proposed Third Party Purchaser, the proposed amount and form of consideration (the “Tag-Along Offer Price”), the terms and conditions of payment offered by such Third Party Purchaser, the estimated number of the shares of Capital Stock that such Tag-Along Rightholder may Transfer to such Third Party Purchaser (determined in accordance with Section 3.1 and assuming that all Tag-Along Rightholders exercise their rights under this Section 3.1), and a representation that such Third Party Purchaser has been informed of the “tag-along” rights provided for in Section 3.1 and has agreed to purchase shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof. The tag-along rights provided by Section 3.1 must be exercised by any Tag-Along Rightholder wishing to sell its shares of Capital Stock within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice required by the preceding sentence, by delivery of a written notice to the Selling Article 3 Shareholder indicating such Tag-Along Rightholder’s wish to exercise its rights and specifying the number of shares of Capital Stock (up to the maximum number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Tag-Along Rightholder required to be purchased by such Third Party Purchaser) it wishes to sell; provided, however, that any Tag-Along Rightholder may waive its rights under Section 3.1 prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period by giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company. The failure of a Tag-Along Rightholder to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Tag-Along Rightholder’s rights under Section 3.1. If a Third Party Purchaser fails to purchase shares of Capital Stock from any Tag-Along Rightholder that has properly exercised its tag-along rights pursuant to Section 3.1, then the Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall not be permitted to consummate the proposed sale of the Tag-Along Offered Securities, and any such attempted sale or proposed sale shall be null and void ab initio.
