---

transferee or Affiliate, as the case may be, shall furnish the Company and each Investor with an executed counterpart copy of this Agreement and agree to become bound thereby as was the Seller. Such transferred Stock shall remain “Stock” hereunder, and the transferee shall be treated as was the Seller of such Stock hereunder, and shall assume all rights and obligations of such Seller hereunder.

2. Notice of Proposed Transfer. Before any Seller may effect any Transfer of Stock, the Seller must give at the same time to the Company and to each Investor a written notice signed by the Seller (the “Seller’s Notice”) stating (a) the Seller’s bona fide intention to Transfer such Offered Stock and the name and address of the proposed transferee (the “Transferee”); (b) the number of shares of the Offered Stock; and (c) the bona fide cash price or, in reasonable detail, other consideration, per share for which the Seller proposes to Transfer such Offered Stock (the “Offered Price”). Upon the request of the Company or any of such Investors, the Seller will promptly furnish information to the Company and to the Investors as may be reasonably requested to establish that the offer and Transferee are bona fide.

3. Right of First Refusal.

(a) The Right.

(i) Company’s Initial Right. The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase any or all of the Offered Stock, if the Company gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the Seller within fifteen (15) days after the date of its receipt of the Seller’s Notice to the Company (the “Company’s Refusal Period”). If the Company does not desire to purchase all of the Offered Stock, within ten (10) days after expiration of the Company’s Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice to each Investor, specifying the number of shares of Offered Stock not subscribed for by the Company through exercise of its Right of First Refusal (the “Company’s Notice”).

(ii) Investors’ Right. If the Company does not desire to purchase any or all of the Offered Stock, the Investors shall have the right of first refusal to purchase all or none of the Offered Stock; provided, that each such Investor gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the Seller within fifteen (15) days after the date of mailing or other transmission of the Company’s Notice to such Investor (the “Investors’ Refusal Period”). To the extent the aggregate number of shares such Investors desire to purchase exceeds the Offered Stock available, each such Investor will be entitled to purchase a fraction of the Offered Stock, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock (assuming the Conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock) held by such Investor and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Stock (assuming the conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock) held by all Investors exercising their Right of First Refusal (and if any shares of Offered Stock remain unallocated after application of the foregoing, such shares shall be allocated through successive applications thereof). Within ten (10) days after expiration of the Investors’ Refusal Period, the Seller will give written notice to the Company and each Investor, specifying the number of shares of Offered Stock that were subscribed for by the Investors exercising their Rights of First Refusal (the “Confirmation Notice”).

 

-3-

---

(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Stock to be purchased by the Company or by any Investor exercising its Right of First Refusal under this Agreement will be the Offered Price, and will be payable as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company, each Investor and the Seller, absent fraud or error.

(c) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Stock purchased by the Company or by an Investor exercising its Right of First Refusal will be made within fifteen (15) days after the later of (i) the end of the Company’s Refusal Period, or (ii) the delivery of the Company’s Notice and the end of the Investors’ Refusal Period. Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the option of the Company or the exercising Investor, (i) in cash (by check or wire transfer at the option of the purchaser), (ii) by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Seller to the Company or the Investor, as the case may be, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.

(d) Rights as an Investor. If the Company or any Investor exercises its Right of First Refusal to purchase the Offered Stock, then, upon the date the notice of such exercise is given by the Company or any Investor, the Seller will have no further rights as a holder of the Offered Stock except the right to receive payment for the Offered Stock from the Company or the Investors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Seller will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Stock to be surrendered for transfer to the Company or the Investor, as the case may be.

4. Right of Co-Sale.

(a) Right of Co-Sale. If the Company and the Investors have waived or failed to timely exercise their Rights of First Refusal under paragraph 3 with respect to any portion of the Offered Stock, then, subject to the Investors’ Right of Co-Sale, the Seller may Transfer to the Transferee such remaining portion of the Offered Stock as was specified in the Seller’s Notice, by giving written notice to each Investor within five (5) days after the date of the expiration of the Investors’ Refusal Period (the “Right of Co-Sale Notice”), specifying the date of the Transfer of the Offered Stock to such Transferee which shall not occur earlier than fifteen (15) days nor later than thirty (30) days after the date of mailing or other transmission of the Right of Co-Sale Notice (the “Closing”), and the number of shares and type of Stock that the Seller desires to Transfer to the Transferee. If the Seller desires to Transfer to the Transferee such Offered Stock, each Investor shall have the right to require, as a condition to such sale or transfer, that the Transferee agree to purchase from such Investor, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as involved in such sale or disposition by the Seller, a number of shares of such Investor’s Stock (regardless of the class and series thereof) equal to a percentage of the Offered Stock equivalent to the Investor’s Share. The amount of Offered Stock the Seller may actually Transfer to the Transferee (after the application of this Section 4) shall be reduced by the number of shares of Investors’ Stock that the Transferee purchases pursuant to this Section 4(a). This Right of Co-Sale shall not apply with respect to Offered Stock sold or to be sold to Investors or the Company under their Right of First Refusal.

 

-4-

---

(b) Consummation of Co-Sale. An Investor may exercise the Right of Co-Sale by delivering to the Seller five (5) days before the Closing, a notice (the “Co-Sale Confirmation Notice”) setting forth the number of shares, not to exceed such Investor’s Share, and one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, representing a number of shares (not to exceed such Investor’s Share) of such Stock to be Transferred by the Seller on behalf of such Investor exercising his or her Right of Co-Sale. At the Closing, one or more certificates or other instruments, properly endorsed for Transfer, representing the Stock listed on the Co-Sale Confirmation Notice, will be Transferred and delivered to the Transferee by the Seller as set forth in the Right of Co-Sale Notice, in consummation of the Transfer of the Offered Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Right of Co-Sale Notice, and the Seller will remit, or will cause to be remitted, to each participating Investor, within ten (10) days after such Closing, that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to which each participating Investor is entitled by reason of each Investor’s participation in such Transfer pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale. After the Closing, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate for the remaining balance of the securities held by each participating Investor, if any, to each such participating Investor.

(c) Seller’s Right To Transfer. If the Company and each Investor have not elected to purchase all of the Offered Stock under their Right of First Refusal, and to the extent that the Investors have not exercised their Right of Co-Sale, the Seller may Transfer that portion of the Offered Stock permitted to be sold, to any person named as a purchaser or other Transferee in the Seller’s Notice, at the Offered Price, provided that such Transfer (i) is consummated within thirty (30) days after the date of the Right of Co-Sale Notice, (ii) is on terms no more favorable to the Seller than the terms proposed in the Seller’s Notice and (iii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement. If the Offered Stock is not so Transferred during such thirty (30) day period, then the Seller may not Transfer any of such Offered Stock without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement.

5. Multiple Series, Classes or Types of Stock. If the Offered Stock consists of more than one series, class or type of Stock, the Seller has the right to Transfer hereunder each such series, class or type; provided, however, that if an Investor exercising the Right of Co-Sale does not hold any of such series class or type, or any other security convertible at the Investor’s option into shares of such series class or type, and the proposed Transferee is not willing, at the Closing, to purchase some other series, class or type of Stock from such Investor, or is unwilling to purchase any Stock from such Investor at the Closing, then such Investor will have the put right (the “Put Right”) set forth in Section 6(b) hereof.

6. Refusal to Transfer; Put Right.

(a) Refusal to Transfer. Any attempt by any Seller to Transfer any Stock in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Stock that has been sold, gifted or otherwise Transferred in violation of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Stock, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser, donee or other Transferee to whom such Stock may have been so Transferred.

 

-5-

---

(b) Put Right. If a Seller Transfers any Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale under this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), or if the proposed Transferee of Offered Stock desires to purchase a class, series or type of stock offered by the Seller, and an Investor exercising the Right of Co-Sale does not hold any shares of such class, series or type, or any other security convertible at the Investor’s option into shares of such series class or type, or the proposed Transferee is unwilling to purchase any Stock from an Investor, such Investor may, by delivery of written notice to such Seller (a “Put Notice”) within ten (10) days after (i) the Closing as defined in subsection 4(a) above, or (ii) the date on which such Investor becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer or the terms thereof, require such Seller to purchase from such Investor, for cash or such other consideration as the Seller received in the Prohibited Transfer or at the Closing, a number of shares of Stock (of the same class or type as transferred in the Prohibited Transfer or at the Closing if such Investor then owns Stock of such class or type; otherwise of Preferred Stock or Common Stock at the election of the Investor) having a purchase price equal to the aggregate purchase price the Investor would have received in the closing of such Prohibited Transfer if such Investor had elected to exercise its Right of Co-Sale with respect thereto or in the Closing if the Transferee had been willing to purchase the Stock of the Investor. The closing of such sale to the Seller will occur within ten (10) days after the date of such Investor’s Put Notice to such Seller.

7. Board of Directors; Voting. So long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares occurring after the date hereof) remain outstanding, each Initial Stockholder and Investor hereby agrees to vote all shares of the Company’s capital stock now or hereafter directly or indirectly owned (of record or beneficially) by such Initial Stockholder or Investor and otherwise to take such action as shall be necessary to:

(a) elect and appoint to the Board of Directors of the Company the following persons:

(“ARCH”) to have an observer attend all meetings of the Board of Directors for so long as ARCH and its Affiliates hold not less than 700,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the aggregate (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares occurring after the date hereof); provided that such observer shall first enter into a standard nondisclosure agreement with the Company; and
