The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been, and for so long as the Senior Note remains outstanding will continue to be, afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company regarding its business and affairs.

7.6.            Each Buyer understands that (i) the sale or resale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (a) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 7.6 and who is an Accredited Investor, (d) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule 144 and further, if said Rule 144 is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case).

ANNEX A TO SECTION 12.6

(a)               Transfer of Shares. No Founder shall directly or indirectly sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) any interest in his shares (a “Transfer”), except pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.6; provided that in no event shall any Transfer of Founder’s shares (“Shares”) pursuant to this Section 12.6be made for any consideration other than cash payable upon consummation of such Transfer or in installments over time and no Shares may be pledged. No Founder shall consummate any Transfer until 20 days after the later of the delivery to the Company and the Buyers of such Founder’s Offer Notice or Sale Notice (if any), unless the parties to the Transfer have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 12.6prior to the expiration of such 20-day period (the “Election Period”).

(b)              First Offer Right. At least ten days prior to making any Transfer of any Shares, the transferring Founder (the “Transferring Founder”) shall deliver a written notice (an “Offer Notice”) to the Company and the Buyers, disclosing in reasonable detail the proposed number of Shares to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (if known). Company shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Founder and the Buyers as soon as practical but in any event within ten days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If Company elects not to purchase all of the Offered Shares within such ten-day period, each of the Buyers may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of his Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Founder as soon as practical but in any event within 20 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. Any Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the end of such 20-day period shall be reoffered for the ten-day period prior to the expiration of the Election Period by the Transferring Founder on a pro rata basis to the Buyers who have elected to purchase their Pro Rata Share and, if there are any Offered Shares remaining after such allocation, Company shall have the right to purchase such remaining Offered Shares. If Company or any Buyers have elected to purchase Offered Shares from the Transferring Founder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Founder, but in any event within ten days after the expiration of the Election Period. To the extent that Company and the Buyers have not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Transferring Founder may, within 90 days after the expiration of the Election Period and subject to the provisions of subsection (c) and (d) below, transfer all of the Offered Shares to one or more third parties at a price no less than the price per share specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable to the transferees thereof than offered to Company and the Buyers in the Offer Notice. Any Offered Shares not transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to Company and the Buyers under this Section 12.6) prior to any subsequent Transfer. The purchase price specified in any Offer Notice shall be payable solely in cash at the closing of the transaction or in installments over time, and no Offered Shares may be pledged except on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Buyers. Each Buyer’s “Pro Rata Share” shall be based upon such Buyer’s proportionate ownership of all Senior Notes acquired hereunder. By way of illustration, if a Buyer acquired twenty five percent (25%) of the Senior Notes Buyer’s Pro Rata Share would equal twenty five percent (25%) of the Offered Shares

(c)               Right to Co-Sale.

 

(i) To the extent Company and the Buyers do not exercise their respective purchase options as to all of the Offered Shares hereunder, then each of the Buyers (each a “Co-selling Buyer” for purposes of this subsection (c)) who notifies the Transferring Founder in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Offer Notice referred to in Section (b) above, shall have the right to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Offer Notice. Such Co-selling Buyer’s notice to the Transferring Founder shall indicate the number of Shares the Co-selling Buyer wishes to sell under his or its right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Buyers exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Shares that the Transferring Founder may sell shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

(ii) Each Co-selling Buyer may sell all or any part of that number of Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Shares covered by the Offering Notice by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares same in the class as the Offered Shares owned by the Transferring Founder on the date of the Offer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares of that Class.

 

(iii) Each Co-selling Buyer shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Transferring Founder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the number of Shares which such Co-selling Buyer elects to sell.

 

(iv) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-selling Buyer delivers to the Transferring Founder pursuant to Section (c)(iii) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, and the Transferring Founder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-selling Buyer that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-selling Buyer is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares or other securities from a Co-selling Buyer exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Transferring Founder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferring Founder shall purchase such Shares or other securities from such Co-selling Buyer for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Offer Notice.
