(a) In the event that the Transferor is a Key Holder and the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Key Holder Shares available pursuant to its rights under Section 3.2 within the period set forth therein, the Transferor shall promptly give written notice (the “Second Notice”) to each of the Preferred Holders and any Key Executives (other than the Key Executive who is the Transferor or whose Permitted Transferee (as defined pursuant to the Holdings LLC Agreement) is the Transferor) (each, a “Non-Transferring Key Executive”), which shall set forth the number of shares of the Key Holder Shares not purchased by the Company and which shall include the terms of the Notice set forth in Section 3.1.

3.4 RIGHT OF CO-SALE.
(a) In the event the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives fail to exercise their respective rights to purchase all of the Key Holder Shares subject to Section 3.3 hereof, following the exercise or expiration of the rights of purchase set forth in Section 3.3, then the Key Holder Transferor shall deliver to the Company, each Preferred Holder and each Non-Transferring Key Executive written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) that each Preferred Holder and Non-Transferring Key Executive shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to such Key Holder Transferor with a copy to the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such Transfer of Key Holder Shares on the same terms and conditions. Such notice shall indicate the number of shares of Preferred Holder Shares or Key Holder Shares up to that number of shares determined under Section 2.4(b) such Preferred Holder or Non-Transferring Key Executive wishes to sell under his or her right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Key Holder Shares that such Key Holder Transferor may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.
(b) Each Preferred Holder and each Non-Transferring Key Executive may sell all or any part of that number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of the Key Holder Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice and not purchased by the Company, the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of the Common Shares owned (or deemed to be owned upon conversion of the Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred) by such Preferred Holder or Non-Transferring Key Executive at the time of the Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of the Common Shares owned (or deemed to be owned upon conversion of the Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred) by such Key Holder Transferor (excluding shares purchased by the Company and/or Preferred Holders pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3) and the Preferred Holders and Non-Transferring Key Executives at the time of the Transfer (with the number of shares owned by any Non-Transferring Key Executive for the purposes of this Section 3.4 to include only the shares actually owned by such Key Executive, and not any Key Executive Indirect Shares). If not all of the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives elect to sell their shares of capital stock proposed to be transferred within said fifteen (15) day period, then the Key Holder Transferor shall promptly notify in writing the Preferred Holders and Non- Transferring Key Executives who do so elect and shall offer such Preferred Holders and Non- Transferring Key Executives the additional right to participate in the sale of such additional shares of Key Holder Shares proposed to be transferred on the same percentage basis as set forth above in this subsection 3.4(b). The Preferred Holders and Non-Transferring Key Executives shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Key Holder Transferor in writing with a copy to the Company of its election to sell all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares.
(c) Each Preferred Holder and Non-Transferring Key Executive who elects to participate in the Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.4 (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall effect its
participation in the Transfer by promptly delivering to such Key Holder Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:
(i) the type and number of shares of the Common Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; or
(ii) that number of shares of the Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred which is at such time convertible into the number of shares of the Common Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of the Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred in lieu of shares of the Common Shares, such Co-Sale Participant shall convert such Series A Preferred and/or Series B Preferred into shares of the Common Shares and deliver shares of the Common Shares as provided in Section 3.4(c)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.
In the event that a Preferred Holder or Non-Transferring Key Executive does not comply with and/or exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Co-Sale Notice, such Preferred Holder’s or Non-Transferring Key Executive’s right to participate in the Transfer shall be deemed to have expired.
(d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant delivers to such Key Holder Transferor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Key Holder Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co- Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, such Key Holder Transferor shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Key Holder Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder Transferor shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice.
(e) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Preferred Holders or Non- Transferring Key Executives hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of the Key Holder Shares made by such Key Holder Transferor shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent Transfers of Key Holder Shares subject to Section 2.
(f) To the extent that the Preferred Holders or Non-Transferring Key Executives do not elect to participate in the sale of the Key Holder Shares subject to the Co-Sale Notice, such Key Holder Transferor may, not later than sixty (60) days following delivery to the Company of the Co-Sale Notice, enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the Transfer of such Key Holder Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice within thirty (30) days of such agreement on terms and conditions not more materially favorable to the transferor than those described in the Co-Sale Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions materially more favorable than those described in the Co-Sale Notice, as well as any subsequent
proposed Transfer of any of the Key Holder Shares by a Key Holder Transferor, shall again be subject to the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Company, Preferred Holders and/or Non- Transferring Key Executives and shall require compliance by a Key Holder Transferor with the procedures described in this Section 3.
