The failure of a Pre-emptive Stockholder to deliver a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by the end of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section 3.01(c) with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.

In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Pre-emptive Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01.
(e) Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase by the Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver the New Securities in certificated form, free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to such purchasers and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

(a) Offered Stock. At any time prior to the consummation of a Public offering, and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, this Section 4.03 and Section 4.04, the Company, first, and the Investor and each Stockholder holding Capital Stock (collectively with the Investor, the “ROFR Rightholders”), second, shall have a right of first refusal if any other Stockholder (the “Offering Stockholder”) receives a bona fide offer from any Person (a “Prospective Transferee”) that the Offering Stockholder desires to accept (a “Transfer Offer”) to Transfer all or any portion of any Shares (or applicable Stock Equivalents) it owns (the “Offered Stock”). Each time an Offering Stockholder receives a Transfer Offer for any Offered Stock from a Prospective Transferee, the Offering Stockholder shall first make an offering of the Offered Stock to the Company, first, and each ROFR Rightholder other than the Offering Stockholder (the “Applicable ROFR Rightholders”), second, all in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.03, prior to Transferring such Offered Stock to the Prospective Transferee.

| (D) | the name of the Prospective Transferee who has offered to purchase such Offered Stock. |

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Transfer Offer involving more than one class or series of Offered Stock, the Offering Stockholder may deliver a single ROFR Notice to the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder.
(ii) The ROFR Notice shall constitute the Offering Stockholder’s offer to Transfer all of the Offered Stock to the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.03, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period described in Section 4.03(d)(iii).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders may only exercise their right to purchase the Offered Stock if, after giving effect to all elections made under this Section 4.03(d), no less than all of each class or series of Offered Stock will be purchased by the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders.
(ii) The initial right of the Company to purchase any Offered Stock shall be exercisable with the delivery of a written notice (the “Company ROFR Exercise Notice”) by the Company to the Offering Stockholder and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders within twenty (20) Business Day of receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Company Option Period”), stating the applicable number(s) (including where such number is zero) and type(s) of Offered Stock the Company elects to purchase on the terms and purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice.

(iii) If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Stock, the Applicable ROFR Rightholders shall have the right to purchase the remaining Offered Stock not elected to be purchased by the Company. For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of a Company ROFR Exercise Notice in which the Company has elected to purchase less than all the Offered Stock (such period, the “Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Stockholder (an “Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice”) specifying its desire to purchase its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock, on the terms and applicable purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Applicable ROFR Rightholder.
(iv) If the Applicable ROFR Rightholders pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) do not, in the aggregate, elect to purchase all of the remaining Offered Stock not purchased by the Company, each Applicable ROFR Rightholder electing pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) to purchase its entire ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock (each, an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder”) shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of any class or series of remaining Offered Stock not elected to be purchased by the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders. As promptly as practicable following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver a written notice to each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice”) stating the number(s) and type(s) of remaining Offered Stock available for purchase following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period. For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice (such period, the “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all or any portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Stockholder (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice”) specifying the number(s) and type(s) of additional remaining Offered Stock it desires to purchase on the terms and applicable purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder.
(v) The failure of the Company or any Applicable ROFR Rightholder to deliver a Company ROFR Exercise Notice or an Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice, respectively, by the end of the Company Option Period or the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, respectively, shall constitute a waiver of the applicable rights of first refusal under this Section 4.03 with respect to the Transfer of the Offered Stock, but shall not affect their respective rights with respect to any future Transfers.
| Stockholders Agreement | Page 17 |
(e) Allocation of Offered Stock. Upon the expiration of the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period or, if applicable, the expiration of the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, each class or series of remaining Offered Stock not selected for purchase in its entirety by the Company pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii) shall be allocated for purchase among the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders, as follows:
(i) First, to each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder having elected pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) to purchase its entire ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock, such Applicable ROFR Rightholder’s ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of such remaining Offered Stock; and

(A) the number of such class or series of remaining Offered Stock that such Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder elected to purchase in excess of its applicable ROFR Pro Rata Portion; and
