2. Agreement
Among the Company, the Investors and the Key Holders
2.1 Right
of First Refusal.
(a) Grant. Subject
to the terms of Section 3 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a Right of
First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of Transfer Stock that such Key Holder may propose to transfer in a Proposed Key Holder
Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.
(b) Notice. Each
Key Holder proposing to make a Proposed Key Holder Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company and the Investors
not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Key
Holder Transfer. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration)
of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer, the identity of the Prospective Transferee and the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder
Transfer. To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 2, the Company must deliver a Company Notice to the
selling Key Holder within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice. In the event of a conflict between
this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Key Holder with the Company that contains a preexisting
right of first refusal, the Company and the Key Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and
the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with Subsection 2.1(a) and this Subsection
2.1(b).
(c) Grant
of Secondary Refusal Right to Investors. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Key Holder hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Investors a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer
Stock not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Subsection 2.1(c). If the
Company does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder
Transfer, the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Key Holder and to each Investor to that effect no later than
fifteen (15) days after the selling Key Holder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company. To exercise its Secondary
Refusal Right, an Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after
the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.
(d) Undersubscription
of Transfer Stock. If options to purchase have been exercised by the Company and the Investors with respect to some
but not all of the Transfer Stock by the end of the ten (10) day period specified in the last sentence of Subsection 2.1(c)
(the “Investor Notice Period”), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice
Period, send written notice (the “Company Undersubscription Notice”) to those Investors who fully exercised
their Secondary Refusal Right within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Investors”). Each Exercising
Investor shall, subject to the provisions of this Subsection 2.1(d), have an additional option to purchase all or any part
of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed
Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Investor must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Key Holder
and the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period. In the event there are two (2) or more
such Exercising Investors that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of
the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Subsection 2.1(d) shall be allocated to such
Exercising Investors pro rata based on the number of shares of Transfer Stock such Exercising Investors have elected to purchase
pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right (without giving effect to any shares of Transfer Stock that any such Exercising Investor
has elected to purchase pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice). If the options to purchase the remaining shares are
exercised in full by the Exercising Investors, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Investors and the selling
Key Holder of that fact.
(e) Forfeiture
of Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of shares of Transfer Stock that the Company and the
Investors have agreed to purchase in the Company Notice, Investor Notices, and Undersubscription Notices is less than the total
number of shares of Transfer Stock, then the Company and the Investors shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase
such Transfer Stock, and the selling Key Holder shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Stock to the
Prospective Transferee on terms and conditions substantially similar to (and in no event more favorable than) the terms and conditions
set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice, it being understood and agreed that: (i) any such sale or transfer shall be subject
to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms and restrictions set forth in Subsections
2.2 and 5.9(b); (ii) any future Proposed Key Holder Transfer shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including this Section 2; and (iii) such sale shall be consummated within forty-five (45) days after receipt
of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company and, if such sale is not consummated within such forty-five (45) day period, such
sale shall again become subject to the Right of First Refusal and Secondary Refusal Right on the terms set forth herein.
(f) Consideration;
Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration,
the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and as
set forth in the Company Notice. If the Company or any Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form
of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors and as set forth in the Company Notice. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Company
and the Investors shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Investors shall have been delivered to the selling
Key Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder
Transfer; and (ii) sixty (60) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
2.2 Right
of Co-Sale.
(a) Exercise
of Right. If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not purchased pursuant to Subsection
2.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Investor may elect to exercise its Right
of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer as set forth in Subsection 2.2(b) below
and, subject to Subsection 2.2(d), otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice.
Each Investor who elects to exercise its Right of Co-Sale (each a “Participating Investor”) must give the selling
Key Holder written notice thereof within fifteen (15) days after the deadline for delivery of the Secondary Notice described in
Subsection 2.1(c) above, and upon giving such notice such Participating Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised
the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Shares
Includable. Each Participating Investor may include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer all or any part of such
Participating Investor’s Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares
of Transfer Stock subject to the Proposed Key Holder Transfer (excluding shares purchased by the Company or the Participating Investors
pursuant to the Right of First Refusal or the Secondary Refusal Right) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Participating Investor immediately before consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer
(including any shares that such Participating Investor has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right) and the
denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Participating Investors immediately
prior to the consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer (including any shares that all Participating Investors have collectively
agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right), plus the number of shares of Transfer Stock held by the selling Key
Holder. To the extent one (1) or more of the Participating Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the selling Key Holder may sell in the Proposed
Key Holder Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.
(c) Purchase
and Sale Agreement. The Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder agree that the terms and conditions of
any Proposed Key Holder Transfer in accordance with Subsection 2.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase
and sale agreement with the Prospective Transferee (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with customary terms
and provisions for such a transaction, and the Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder further covenant and agree to
enter into such Purchase and Sale Agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer in accordance with this Subsection
2.2.
(d) Allocation
of Consideration.
(i) Subject
to Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), the aggregate consideration payable to the Participating Investors and the selling
Key Holder shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Capital Stock sold to the Prospective Transferee by the Investor
and the selling Key Holder as provided in Subsection 2.2(b), provided that if a Participating Investor wishes to
sell Preferred Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion
ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
(ii) In
the event that the Proposed Key Holder Transfer constitutes a Change of Control, the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall
provide that the aggregate consideration from such transfer shall be allocated to the Participating Investors and the selling Key
Holder in accordance with Subsections 2.1 through 2.3 of Article Four, Section (B) of the Restated Charter as if
(A) such transfer were a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Charter), and (B) the Capital Stock sold in accordance
with the Purchase and Sale Agreement were the only Capital Stock outstanding.
(e) Purchase
by Selling Key Holder; Deliveries. Notwithstanding Subsection 2.2(c) above, if any Prospective Transferee or Transferees
refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Participating Investor or Investors or upon the failure
to negotiate in good faith a Purchase and Sale Agreement satisfactory to the Participating Investors, no Key Holder may sell any
Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder purchases
all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from the Participating Investor or Investors on the same terms and conditions (including
the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice and as provided in Subsection 2.2(d)(i); provided,
however, if such sale constitutes a Change of Control, the portion of the aggregate consideration paid by the selling
Key Holder to the Participating Investor or Investors shall be made in accordance with the first sentence of Subsection 2.2(d)(ii).
In connection with such purchase by the selling Key Holder, the Participating Investor or Investors shall deliver to the selling
Key Holder any stock certificate or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Capital Stock being purchased
by the selling Key Holder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of the selling Key Holder). Any such shares
transferred to the selling Key Holder will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation
of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice, and the selling
Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Participating Investor the portion of the aggregate consideration
to which such Participating Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale as provided in this Subsection
2.2(e).
(f) Additional
Compliance. If any Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not consummated within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Proposed
Transfer Notice by the Company, the Key Holders proposing the Proposed Key Holder Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless
they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any
Investor shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Subsection 2.2.
2.3 Effect
of Failure to Comply.
(a) Transfer
Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Key Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement
shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized
by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to
the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally
and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other
remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases,
sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).
(b) Violation
of First Refusal Right. If any Key Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to the Company or any Investor
under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or
such Investor may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Key Holder the purchase price for
such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company
effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books any certificates, instruments, or book entry representing
the Transfer Stock to be sold.
(c) Violation
of Co-Sale Right. If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale
(a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Subsection 2.2,
may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from
such Investor the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Investor would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective
Transferee had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms of Subsection 2.2. The sale will be made
on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Subsection 2.2(d)(i) and the first sentence of Subsection
2.2(d)(ii), as applicable, and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited
Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90)
days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Subsection 2.2.
Such Key Holder shall also reimburse such Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights
under Subsection 2.2.
3. Exempt
Transfers
3.1 Exempted
Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Subsections 2.1
and 2.2 shall not apply (a) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key Holder to its stockholders,
members, partners or other equity holders, (b) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no
greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Stock and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or
repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, (c) to a pledge of Transfer Stock that creates a mere security
interest in the pledged Transfer Stock, provided that the pledgee thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and
comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Key Holder making such pledge, or
(d) upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her
lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant
of such Key Holder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any
other relative approved by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, or any custodian or trustee of any trust,
partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by such Key Holder
or any such family members; provided that in the case of clause(s) (a), (c), or (d), the Key Holder shall deliver prior
written notice to the Investors of such pledge, gift or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject
to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement as a Key Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations
of a Key Holder with respect to Proposed Key Holder Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 2; and provided
further in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (d) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction
in which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer.
3.2 Exempted
Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2
shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Stock (a) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Public Offering”); or (b) pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation
Event (as defined in the Company’s Restated Charter).
3.3 Prohibited
Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Key Holder shall transfer any Transfer Stock to (a) any Person which,
in the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, directly or indirectly competes with the Company; or (b) any customer,
distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Company’s Board of Directors should determine that such transfer would result
in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with
respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.
4. Legend. Each
certificate, instrument, or book entry representing shares of Transfer Stock held by the Key Holders or issued to any permitted
transferee in connection with a transfer permitted by Subsection 3.1 hereof shall be notated with the following legend:
THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE STOCKHOLDER, THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OTHER HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION.

Each Key Holder agrees that the Company

4 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed
upon termination of this Agreement at the request of the holder.

5.3 Ownership. Each
Key Holder represents and warrants that such Key Holder is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the shares of Transfer Stock
subject to this Agreement and that no other Person has any interest in such shares (other than a community property interest as
to which the holder thereof has acknowledged and agreed in writing to the restrictions and obligations hereunder).

located in the Xxxxxx County, Georgia, and (c) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise,
in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts,
that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the subject
matter hereof and thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject
matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly canceled.
5.7 Delays
or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement,
upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching
or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or
of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver
of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character

or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

or prospectively) only by a written instrument executed by (a) the Company, (b) the Key Holders, and (c) Investors holding a majority
of the Series A Preferred Stock. Any amendment, modification, termination or waiver so effected shall be binding upon the Company,
the Investors, the Key Holders and all of their respective successors and permitted assigns whether or not such party, assignee
or other shareholder entered into or approved such amendment, modification, termination or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Schedule A hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time in accordance with Subsection 5.11 to add information
regarding Additional Investors without the consent of the other parties hereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition
or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver
of any such term, condition or provision.
5.9 Assignment
of Rights.
(a) The
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted

such successor or permitted assignee.
(c) The
rights of the Investors hereunder are not assignable without the Company’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably

the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) shall be subject to and conditioned upon any such assignee’s delivery to the Company and
the other Investors of a counterpart signature page hereto pursuant to which such assignee shall confirm their agreement to be
subject to and bound by all of the provisions set forth in this Agreement that were applicable to the assignor of such assignee.

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal, and enforceable to
the maximum extent permitted by law.
5.11 Additional
