2.	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

2.1. With Respect to Ordinary Shares and Series A Preference Shares Owned by Founders and Series A Holders:

(a) Security Holder Notice of Sale. If a Founder or a Series A Holder (the “Selling Security Holder”) proposes to sell or transfer any Ordinary Shares or Series A Preference Shares held by such Selling Security Holder (the “Security Holder Transfer Shares”), then the Selling Security Holder may not sell or transfer any such Security Holder Transfer Shares unless it complies with this Section 2.1, Section 3 and Section 4.2. The Selling Security Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Security Holder Notice”) to the Company and to each of the other Security Holders (the “Non-Selling Security Holders”) describing in reasonable detail the proposed sale or transfer including, without limitation, the number of Security Holder Transfer Shares, the nature of such sale or transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and the address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

(b) Notice of Purchase. Each of the Non-Selling Security Holders shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Security Holder Notice to agree to purchase all or any part of the Non-Selling Security Holder’s Pro Rata ROFR Share of the Security Holder Transfer Shares for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Security Holder Notice (or the actual terms of the proposed transfer, if more favorable to the proposed transferee), by giving written notice to the Selling Security Holder stating therein the number of Security Holder Transfer Shares to be purchased (the “Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amount”). A failure by the Non-Selling Security Holder to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by such Security Holder not to exercise its right to purchase all or any of the Security Holder Transfer Shares as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, each Non-Selling Security Holder may specify in its notice a Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amount higher or lower than its Pro Rata ROFR Share of the Security Holder Transfer Shares. The Security Holder Transfer Shares shall be allocated among each Non-Selling Security Holder exercising the right of first refusal (with rounding to avoid fractional shares) in proportion to its respective Pro Rata ROFR Share of the Security Holder Transfer Shares and on the same material terms and conditions as specified in the Security Holder Notice provided that in no event shall an amount greater than such Non-Selling Security Holder’s Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amount be allocated to such Non-Selling Security Holder.

(c) Excess Security Holder Transfer Shares. Any Security Holder Transfer Shares not yet allocated to the Non-Selling Security Holders after employing the procedures set out in Section 2.1(b) (“Excess Security Holder Transfer Shares”) shall be allocated, among all Non-Selling Security Holders exercising their right of first refusal whose Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amounts have not yet been satisfied, in proportion to each such Non-Selling Security Holder’s respective Security Holder Transfer Excess Pro Rata ROFR Share of the Excess Security Holder Transfer Shares (with rounding to avoid fractional shares) PROVIDED THAT in no event shall a Non-Selling Security Holder be required to purchase more Security Holder Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) than the Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amount specified by such Non-Selling Security Holder in its reply notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The procedures set out in this Section 2.1(c) shall be repeatedly employed until the Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amounts of all Non-Selling Security Holder exercising their right of first refusal shall have been satisfied or until the total number of the Security Holder Transfer Shares shall have been fully allocated to the Non-Selling Security Holders exercising their right of first refusal after employing the procedures set out herein, whichever to occur first.

(d) Security Holder Transfer Excess Pro Rata ROFR Share. A “Security Holder Transfer Excess Pro Rata ROFR Share” of a Non-Selling Security Holder exercising its right of first refusal equals a fraction, the numerator of which shall be such Non-Selling Security Holders’ Pro Rata ROFR Share and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the Pro Rata ROFR Shares of all Non-Selling Security Holders exercising their right of first refusal whose Security Holder Transfer Exercise Amounts have not yet been satisfied after employing the procedures set out herein.

(e) Closing. The closing of any purchase of Security Holder Transfer Shares by the Non-Selling Security Holders shall be held at the principal office of the Company at 11:00 a.m. on the 45th day after the giving of the Security Holder Notice or at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. The said period shall be extended if necessary to obtain any governmental approvals required for such purchase and payment. At such closing, the Selling Security Holder shall deliver certificates representing the Security Holder Transfer Shares, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer (in the name of the Non-Selling Security Holders or their designated respective Affiliates). Such Security Holder Transfer Shares shall be free and clear of any encumbrance, and the Selling Security Holder shall be deemed to so represent and warrant and shall further be deemed to represent and warrant that it is the beneficial and registered owner of such Security Holder Transfer Shares. Each Non-Selling Security Holder purchasing Security Holder Transfer Shares shall deliver at such closing (or on such later date or dates as may be provided in the Security Holder Notice with respect to payment of consideration by the proposed transferee) payment in full of the purchase price. At such closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Security Holder Transfer Shares to the Non-Selling Security Holders. Any stamp duty or transfer taxes or fees payable on the transfer of any Security Holder Transfer Shares shall be borne and paid equally by the Selling Security Holder and the relevant Non-Selling Security Holders.

(f) Non-Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Section 3, in the event the Non-Selling Security Holder(s) fail to agree to purchase all of the Security Holder Transfer Shares within the respective periods given above, the Selling Security Holder shall have ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the Security Holder Notice to the Company and each of the Non-Selling Security Holders to sell the Security Holder Transfer Shares not so purchased at the price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee than specified in the original Security Holder Notice. In the event that the Selling Security Holder has not sold the Security Holder Transfer Shares within this ninety (90) day period, the Selling Security Holder shall not thereafter sell any Securities without first offering such shares to the Non-Selling Security Holders in the manner provided in Section 2.1(a) above.

2.2. Right of First Refusal With Respect to Series B Preference Shares Owned by Series B Holders and Convertible Notes owned by Note Holders.

(a) Holder Notice of Sale. If any Holder (the “Selling Holder”) proposes to sell or transfer any Series B Preference Shares or Convertible Notes held by such Holder (the “Holder Transfer Securities”), then the Selling Holder may not sell or transfer any such Holder Transfer Securities unless it complies with this Section 2.2, Section 3 and Section 4.2. The Selling Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Holder Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Series A Holders and the other Holders (together the “Non-Selling Holders”), describing in reasonable detail the proposed sale or transfer including, without limitation, the amount of Holder Transfer Securities, the nature of such sale or transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and the address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

(b) Reply Notice. Each Non-Selling Holder who wishes to purchase Holder Transfer Securities (an “Exercising Holder”) shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Holder Transfer Notice to provide the Selling Holder and the Company with a written notice (a “Reply Notice”) specifying the maximum amount of any Holder Transfer Securities which it irrevocably commits to purchase (the “Exercise Amount”). A failure by such Non-Selling Holder to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by such Non-Selling Holder not to exercise its right to purchase all or any of the Holder Transfer Securities as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, each Exercising Holder may specify in its Reply Notice an Exercise Amount higher or lower than its Proportionate Amount (as defined below in 2.2(d)). The Holder Transfer Securities shall be allocated among each Exercising Holder (with rounding to avoid fractional shares) in proportion to its respective Proportionate Amount and on the same material terms and conditions as specified in the Holder Transfer Notice provided that in no event shall an amount greater than such Exercising Holder’s Exercise Amount be allocated to such Exercising Holder.

(c) Excess Holder Transfer Securities. Any Holder Transfer Securities not yet allocated to the Exercising Holders after employing the procedures set out in Section 2.2(b) (“Excess Holder Transfer Securities”) shall be allocated, among all such Exercising Holders whose Exercise Amounts have not yet been satisfied, in proportion to each such Exercising Holder’s respective Excess Proportionate Amount (with rounding to avoid fractional shares) PROVIDED THAT in no event shall an Exercising Holder be required to purchase more Holder Transfer Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) than the Exercise Amount specified by such Exercising Holder in its Reply Notice. The procedures set out in this Section 2.2(c) shall be repeatedly employed until the Exercise Amounts of all such Exercising Holders shall have been satisfied or until the total number of the Holder Transfer Securities shall have been fully allocated to the Exercising Holders after employing the procedures set out herein, whichever to occur first.

(d) Proportionate Amount. An Exercising Holder’s “Proportionate Amount” is equal to the product obtainable by multiplying (x) the total amount of Holder Transfer Securities, by (y) such Exercising Holder’s Proportionate Share. An Exercising Holder’s “Proportionate Share” shall be a fraction equal to (i) the total number of Ordinary Shares then held by such Exercising Holder (on an as converted basis) on the date of the Holder Transfer Notice, divided by (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by all Series A Holders and the Holders with the right of first refusal with respect to the Holder Transfer Securities on the date of the Holder Transfer Notice, on an as converted basis; provided that, for purpose of this calculation only, prior to the completion of an IPO, the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all of the outstanding Convertible Notes shall be deemed to equal to 8% of all of the outstanding Securities and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a Convertible Note shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount. As used in this definition, the phrase “on an as converted basis” shall mean assuming conversion of all Series B Preference Shares and Convertible Notes but not assuming exercise or conversion of Series A Preference Shares, any other outstanding option, warrants, or other convertible securities.

(e) Excess Proportionate Amount. An Exercising Holder’s “Excess Proportionate Amount” is equal to the product obtainable by multiplying (x) the total number of Excess Holder Transfer Securities, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be such Exercising Holder’s Proportionate Share and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the Proportionate Shares of all Exercising Holders exercising their right of first refusal with respect to the Holder Transfer Securities whose Exercise Amounts have not yet been satisfied after employing the procedures set out herein.

(f) Second Holder Transfer Notice. In the event the Non-Selling Holders fail to agree to purchase all of the Holder Transfer Securities within the respective period given above, the Selling Holder shall then promptly give written notice (the “Second Holder Transfer Notice”) to each of the Founders, with a copy to the Company, setting forth the amount of Holder Transfer Securities the Non-Selling Holders have elected not to purchase pursuant to their right of first refusal. Within ten (10) days following receipt of such Second Holder Transfer Notice, each such Founder (the “Exercising Founder”) shall deliver a written notice to the Selling Holder, with a copy to the Company, setting forth its acceptance of the offer to purchase the remainder of the Holder Transfer Securities on a pro-rata basis; provided, however, that all such Holder Transfer Securities purchased by any Exercising Founder that are Series B Preference Shares shall be converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the transfer to the Exercising Founder. For the purposes of this Section 2.2(f), when calculating the “pro rata” portion that a Exercising Founder may purchase from the Selling Holder if the Non-Selling Holders elect not to exercise their right of first refusal in full, “pro rata” shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Exercising Founder as a percentage of the total number of the Ordinary Shares held by all Founders.

(g) Closing. The closing of any purchase of Holder Transfer Securities by the Exercising Holders and the Exercising Founders shall be held at the principal office of the Company at 11:00 a.m. on the 45th day after the giving of the Holder Transfer Notice or at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. The said period shall be extended if necessary to obtain any governmental approvals required for such purchase and payment. At such closing, the Selling Holder shall deliver certificates representing the Holder Transfer Securities, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer (in the name of the Exercising Holders or the Exercising Founders or their designated respective Affiliates). Such Holder Transfer Securities shall be free and clear of any encumbrance, and the Selling Holder shall be deemed to so represent and warrant and shall further be deemed to represent and warrant that it is the beneficial and registered owner of such Holder Transfer Securities. Each Exercising Holder or Exercising Founder purchasing Holder Transfer Securities shall deliver at such closing (or on such later date or dates as may be provided in the Holder Notice with respect to payment of consideration by the proposed transferee) payment of the purchase price in full. At such closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Holder Transfer Securities to the Exercising Holders or the Exercising Founders. Any stamp duty or transfer taxes or fees payable on the transfer of any Holder Transfer Securities shall be borne and paid equally by the Selling Holder, on the one hand, and the relevant Exercising Holders and the Exercising Founders, on the other hand.

(h) Subject to the provisions of Section 3, in the event the Non-Selling Holders and/or the Founders fail to agree to purchase all of the Holder Transfer Securities within the respective periods given above, the Selling Holder shall have ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the Holder Transfer Notice to sell the Holder Transfer Securities not so purchased at the price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee than specified in the original Holder Transfer Notice. In the event that the Selling Holder has not sold the Holder Transfer Securities within this ninety (90) day period, the Selling Holder shall not thereafter sell any Securities without first offering such shares to the Non-Selling Holders and Founders in the manner provided in this Section 2.2 above.

A failure by the Series B Holder, Series A Holder or Note Holder to respond within such thirty (30) day period pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be deemed to constitute a decision by such Series B Holder, Series A Holder or Note Holder not to exercise its right of co-sale as provided herein.

The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.

3.2. Procedure at Closing. The share certificates or notes that such Security Holder delivers to the Selling Security Holder or the Selling Holder pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii), Section 3.1(d)(ii) or Section 3.1(e)(ii), as the case may be, shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the correspondingly reduced amount of the sale of the Security Holder Transfer Shares or the Holder Transfer Securities, as applicable, pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Security Holder Notice or Holder Transfer Notice (or the actual terms of the proposed transfer, if more favorable to the Security Holder), and the Selling Security Holder or the Selling Holder, as applicable, shall concurrently therewith remit to such Security Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Security Holder 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 Security Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Selling Security Holder and the Selling Holder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Security Holder Transfer Shares or any Holder Transfer Securities, unless and until, simultaneously with such sales, the Selling Security Holder or the Selling Holder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Security Holder. In selling their Securities pursuant to their co-sale right hereunder, the Security Holders shall not be required to give any representations or warranties with respect to their Securities to be sold except to confirm their good title over the Securities.

3.3. Company IPO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that in the event that any Shareholder shall be permitted to sell any Shares at the Company’s IPO, such Shareholder, the Company and the Note Holders that then qualifies as a Major Investor (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement) shall discuss and agree, with the consultation of the applicable underwriter(s) of the IPO, the allocation of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares to be sold by the Shareholder and the Note Holders in the IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, if the only Shares offered for sale at the IPO are for the account of the Company and no Shareholder may sell any Shares at the IPO, then the Company shall not be obligated to allocate any portion of such Shares to any Shareholder or Note Holder solely by reason of this Section 3.3.

4.	TRANSFER RESTRICTION AND EXEMPT TRANSFERS.

Each Corporate Founder shall not enter into any arrangement to issue and shall not issue any new securities of the Corporate Founder or options therefor of any kind to any person for any reason in any form, and except as exempted under Section 4.1(b) below, give effect to any changes to its shareholding or its share capital in anyway without the prior written consent of the Series A Holders holding at least a majority of the outstanding Series A Preference Shares and the prior written consent of the Series B Holders holding at least a majority of the outstanding Series B Preference Shares and the prior written consent of the Majority Note Holders, voting as separate classes.

No Corporate Founder shall give effect to transfer of Corporate Founder Securities by its shareholders/members made in violation of this Section 4.1. Except as exempted under Section 4.2, in the event the Investors consent to any proposed transfer of Corporate Founder Securities by a Founder in accordance with terms of this Agreement, such transfer shall be subject to the right of first-refusal and right of co-sale set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any transfers of any Corporate Founder Securities in violation of this Section 4.1, the Company shall have the right to repurchase up to all of the Securities of the Company owned by the applicable Corporate Founder at par value.

(b) Any transfer by any natural Person of any issued and outstanding shares (or any record or direct or indirect beneficial ownership) in a Corporate Founder shall be exempt from the consent requirements set forth in the Subsection 4.1(a) (but will remain subject to the right of first refusal and co-sale rights of the Security Holders in this Agreement) so long as the transfer is (i) to a legal representative of such transferor upon death of such transferor or after such transferor becomes incapacitated; (ii) by will, intestacy laws or the laws of descent or survivorship; or (iii) pursuant to a court order upon the termination of a marital relationship of such transferor.

4.2. Permitted Transfers. None of the restrictions and/or requirements contained in Section 2 or Section 3 in this Agreement with respect to the Securities shall apply to (i) any transfer of Securities by any Security Holder to its Affiliates, its fund manager, any person controlled by its fund manager, or to its general partner, and in case of Fidelity, transfers of its Securities to any Fidelity Persons or charitable organization, (ii) to the parents, children or spouse, siblings or to trusts for the benefit of such persons, of such Individual Founders or employees for bona fide estate planning purposes with the prior approval of the Board, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, (iii) any transfer of Securities from Tekventure or UIL to the Company at the repurchase price as set forth in the Ordinary Shares Purchase Agreements pursuant to the terms of the Ordinary Shares Purchase Agreements, (iv) other sale or transfer of Securities to the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or right of first refusal held by the Company in the event of a termination of employment or consulting relationship and (v) any sale or transfer of Securities by and between employees and/or by and between Founders and an employee, subject to the approval of the board of Directors ; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that in the case of any such transfer described herein (any such transfer shall be referred to hereinafter as a “Permitted Transfer” and any such transferee being referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”), each Permitted Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the other Security Holders a Transfer Joinder Agreement (if such Permitted Transferee is not already a party) as a condition precedent to any such Permitted Transfer or acquisition of the Securities. Each Security Holder hereby waives its right of first refusal, co-sale rights and any other pre-emption rights, if any, in respect of all Permitted Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement for the consents of the Investors contained in Section 4.1(a) shall apply to the Permitted Transfers described in this Section 4.2(iii), 4.2(v), for which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
