RESTRICTION ON SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

5.1

Transfers Generally.

(a)

The Principal Shareholders shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber (in each case, a “Transfer”), any of their Securities unless such Transfer shall have been previously approved by the express written consent of the Investor. Any purported Transfer or other disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void. The restrictions on Transfer contained in this Section 5 are in addition to and separate from any prohibitions on the Transfer of Securities contained in the Pledge Agreement.

(b)

The Investor (or any direct or indirect transferee of the Investor) may Transfer any of its Securities, together with, to the extent of the number of Securities being transferred, its rights and interests under this Agreement, to any Person.

(c)

In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 5.1 in respect of the transfer of Securities by a Principal Shareholder, until the earlier of (i) the first date that the Investor or any of its Affiliates fails to own any of the Investor Shares and there is no longer any principal amount outstanding on the Notes, and (ii) an Exchange Listing, any purported Transfer of Securities by a Principal Shareholder must also satisfy the requirements set forth below in Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 prior to effecting any Transfer of Securities.

5.2

Right of First Refusal.

(a)

Sale Notice. If at any time a Principal Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to Transfer its Securities to one or more Persons (the “Proposed Transferee”) pursuant to an understanding with such Transferee (a “Proposed Transfer”), the Selling Shareholder shall first deliver written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Investor, which notice shall specify (i) the Proposed Transferee, (ii) the class and number of Securities to be sold or disposed of (collectively, the “Relevant Shares”), (iii) the consideration to be paid for each Relevant Share (the “Sale Price”), and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the Proposed Transfer is to be made (including a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the Proposed Transfer).

(b)

Investor’s Option. The Investor shall have the opportunity to purchase all or any part of the Relevant Shares. If the Investor desires to purchase all or any part of the Relevant Shares, the Investor must, within the fifteen (15)-day period (the “Investor Refusal Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of the Sale Notice by the Investor, give written notice to the Selling Shareholder of the Investor’s election to purchase the Relevant Shares at a price per share equal to the Sale Price. A failure by the Investor to exercise its right of first refusal within the Investor Refusal Period shall be deemed a waiver of such right; however, such failure shall not affect the Investor’s tag-along right as set forth in Section 5.3 below.

(c)

Valuation of Property. Should the Sale Price specified in the Sale Notice be payable in whole or in part in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board (including the consent of at least one (1) Investor Director, if any) in good faith, which determination shall be binding upon the Transferor, absent fraud or error.

(d)

The closing of any purchase of Securities pursuant to the Investor’s right of first refusal in this Section 5.2 shall take place on the next Business Day following the day falling twenty (20) days after the end of the fifteen-day period referred to in Section 5.2(b).

5.3

Tag-Along.

(a)

If the Selling Shareholder intends to Transfer Shares to a Proposed Transferee, to the extent the Investor does not exercise its rights of first refusal as to all of the Relevant Shares pursuant to Section 5.2, the Investor shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) days from the end of the Investor Refusal Period to participate in such sale of Securities on terms no less favorable than those being offered to the Proposed Transferee. If Investor gives no such notice with respect to its tag-along rights within such fifteen-day period, it shall be deemed to have waived its entitlement to participate in the Proposed Transfer.

(b)

The Investor shall send notice to the Transferor indicating the number of Securities the Investor wishes to sell under its right to participate. The Investor may elect to sell up to such number of Securities equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Securities proposed to be sold to the Transferee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of Common Shares that would be issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any of such Securities) by (ii) the fraction that represents the Fully Diluted Percentage Ownership of the Investor on the date of the Sale Notice.

(c)

The Investor shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for transfer to the Proposed Transferee one or more certificates and instruments of transfer, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the type and number of Securities which Investor elects to sell; provided, however, that if the Proposed Transferee objects to the delivery of non-Common Share Securities in lieu of Common Shares, the Investor shall convert such non-Common Share Securities into Common Shares and deliver certificates and instruments of transfer corresponding to such Common Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion of Securities concurrent with the actual transfer of Common Shares to the Proposed Transferee and contingent on such transfer.

The share certificate or certificates that the Investor delivers to the Transferor pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be transferred to the Proposed Transferee in consummation of the sale of the Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Sale Notice, and the Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to the Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale.

To the extent that any Proposed Transferee prohibits the participation of the Investor exercising its tag-along rights hereunder in a Proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to purchase Securities from the Investor exercising its tag-along rights hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such Proposed Transferee any Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such Common Shares or other Securities from the Investor for the same consideration and on terms no less favorable than described in the Sale Notice.

(b)

The Parties agree that each Proposed Transferee shall, prior to the consummation of any Proposed Transfer, have executed documents assuming the obligations of such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Common Shares. In the event the Proposed Transferor does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Relevant Shares within forty-five (45) days from the expiration of such rights, the Investor’s first refusal rights and tag-along rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Securities by the Selling Shareholder until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)

The exercise or non-exercise under Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 of the rights of the Investor to purchase Securities from a Selling Shareholder or the Investor to participate in the sale of Securities by a Selling Shareholder shall not adversely affect the Investor’s rights to make subsequent purchases of Securities from the Selling Shareholder or subsequently participate in sales of Securities by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to its rights hereunder.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any attempt by a Principal Shareholder to transfer Securities in violation of this Section 5 shall be void, and the Company agrees it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged Transferee as the holder of such shares without the written consent of the Investor.
