A copy of the offer (or a summary of the terms thereof) shall be attached to the Stockholder’s Notice.
7
(ii) If, at the time of receipt of the Stockholder Notice, the Company is contractually restricted from fully exercising its rights to purchase pursuant to this Section 3(c) (and the Company does not reasonably believe it can obtain a waiver or the Company does not intend to seek a waiver of such restrictions) or the Company is legally restricted under the Delaware General Corporation Law from fully exercising its rights under this Section 3(c), the Company shall promptly so notify the Selling Stockholder in writing. Otherwise, upon receipt of the Stockholder’s Notice, the Company shall, subject to Section 3(c)(iii) below, have the irrevocable and exclusive option to purchase all or any portion of the First Refusal Shares by delivery of a written notice to the Selling Stockholder, within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Stockholder’s Notice, of its election to exercise its option under this Section 3(c)(ii) and the number of shares it is willing to purchase. To the extent the Company does not elect to purchase all of the First Refusal Shares or the Company does not respond to the Stockholder’s Notice within such ten (10) business day period or the Selling Stockholder receives the notice from the Company referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3(c)(ii), the Selling Stockholder shall notify the Preferred Stockholders of the number of First Refusal Shares that remain eligible for purchase, and the Preferred Stockholders shall, subject to Section 3(c)(iii) below, have the irrevocable and exclusive option to purchase all or any portion of the remaining First Refusal Shares at the Sale Price by delivery of written notice to the Selling Stockholder and the Company of their election to exercise their option under this Section 3(c)(ii) (any such holder exercising this election, a “First Refusal Participant”) and the maximum number of shares (up to that portion of such First Refusal Shares that equals the proportion that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and/or are issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by a First Refusal Participant (plus the aggregate number of other shares of Common Stock held by such holder if the First Refusal Participant is West Central or a member of the USBG Group) bears to the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued or are issuable upon conversion of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the number of other shares of Common Stock held by West Central and the members of the USBG Group, in each case excluding any such shares held by the Selling Stockholder) that they are willing to purchase, as well as the number of additional shares that such holder desires to purchase in the event all of the remaining First Refusal Shares not elected to be purchased by the other Preferred Stockholders which shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated in a similar manner as described in the preceding sentence, and continuing in a like manner until the First Refusal Participants have purchased all of the First Refusal Shares as they may elect). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Stockholder’s Notice, the First Refusal Participants shall deliver to the Selling Stockholder a written notice of their election to purchase any remaining First Refusal Shares.
8
(iii) The Company and the First Refusal Participants shall deliver the Sale Price for any First Refusal Shares that any such party elects to purchase to the Selling Stockholder no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the Stockholder’s Notice, unless the Stockholder’s Notice contemplated a later closing with the Proposed Transferee. In the event the Company and the First Refusal Participants, taken together, do not elect to purchase all of the First Refusal Shares pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), then the Selling Stockholder shall be free for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the Stockholder’s Notice, to sell the remaining First Refusal Shares to the Proposed Transferee, at a price equal to or greater than the Sale Price and upon other terms no more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those specified in the Stockholder’s Notice. Any transfer of the First Refusal Shares by the Selling Stockholder after the end of such 120-day period or at a price lower than the Sale Price or on more favorable terms of the sale than set forth in the Stockholder’s Notice shall require a new notice of intent to transfer to be delivered to the Company and the Preferred Stockholders and shall give rise anew to the rights provided in the preceding paragraphs.
(iv) If the Company and/or the First Refusal Participants elect to purchase First Refusal Shares mentioned in the Stockholder’s Notice, the Company and/or the First Refusal Participants, as applicable, shall have the right to purchase the First Refusal Shares for cash consideration whether or not part or all of the consideration specified in the Stockholder’s Notice is other than cash. If part or all of the consideration to be paid for the First Refusal Shares as stated in the Stockholder’s Notice is other than cash, the price stated in such Stockholder’s Notice shall be deemed to be the sum of the cash consideration, if any, specified in such Stockholder’s Notice, plus the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. The fair market value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by an independent appraiser agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Stockholder if the Company exercised and if the Company did not exercise by the Board of the Company (excluding those members of the Board designated by or affiliated with any First Refusal Participant), and its judgment as to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be binding on the Selling Stockholder and the First Refusal Participants.
(d) Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights.
(i) Tag-Along Rights. If a Selling Stockholder intends to Transfer any or all of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock owned by him (excluding any Transfer in connection with a bona fide offer from a Proposed Transferee to purchase all of the stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company which shall be governed solely by Section 3(d)(ii)), and the Company and the Preferred Stockholders do not elect to purchase all First Refusal Shares pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the Selling Stockholder shall cause any third party Proposed Transferee to offer in writing (the “Purchase Offer”) to purchase from each Preferred Stockholder a pro rata share of the Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock of each of the Preferred Stockholders, such pro rata portion based on that
9
number of shares of Common Stock issued to and/or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by such Preferred Stockholder bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued to and/or issuable upon conversion of all the Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding, in each case including any such shares held by the Selling Stockholder. Any such purchase shall be made in accordance with the following:
(A) the purchase of Preferred Stock and /or Common Stock from each Preferred Stockholder shall be made at (1) the highest price per share and on such other terms and conditions as the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder or (2) the highest price per share, on an as converted basis, and on such other terms and conditions as the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder;
(B) each Preferred Stockholder shall have no more than twenty (20) days from the receipt of the Purchase Offer in which to accept such Purchase Offer, in whole or in part;
(C) to the extent that a Preferred Stockholder accepts such Purchase Offer, the Preferred Stock to be sold to the Proposed Transferee by the Selling Stockholder shall be proportionately reduced to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 3(d)(i); and

(ii) Drag-Along Rights.
(A) At any time on or after August 1, 2011, if a Preferred Supermajority, only including in such calculation those Preferred Stockholders then entitled to exercise rights under this Section 3(d)(ii), approve (the “Approving Stockholders”) a bona fide offer from a Proposed Transferee (who is unaffiliated with the holders of such Preferred Stock approving such offer) to purchase all of the stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (which offer must not value the Series A Preferred Stock at a value exceeding the Series A Accreted Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock), and otherwise treats the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock identically), the provisions of Section 3(c) and (d)(i) shall not apply and the Company shall have forty-five (45) days to elect to purchase the Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Approving Stockholders on substantially the same terms, or their substantial economic equivalent in cash, as the Approving Stockholders would have received (taking into account tax consequences) as a result of the
10
transaction contemplated by such bona fide offer. If the Company does not elect to purchase the Approving Stockholders’ shares, the other Preferred Stockholders and Common Stockholders (the “Drag-Along Owners”) shall have forty-five (45) days to elect to purchase the Preferred Stock and Common Stock on substantially the same terms, or their substantial economic equivalent in cash, as the Approving Stockholders would have received (taking into account tax consequences) as a result of the transaction contemplated by such bona fide offer. If the Drag-Along Owners do not so elect to purchase, then the Approving Stockholders shall have the right to require the Drag-Along Owners to sell to the Proposed Transferee all of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock of such Drag-Along Owner, or to vote to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to the Proposed Transferee on the same terms offered to the Approving Stockholders.
(B) If such transaction is structured as a merger or consolidation of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, each Drag-Along Owner shall take all actions necessary (at both the Board and the stockholder level, assuming compliance with any applicable fiduciary duties) to approve the transaction and cause the transaction to be consummated, including but not limited to: (i) voting the shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock then beneficially held by such Drag-Along Owner in favor of such transaction at any meeting of the Company’s Stockholders called to vote on the transaction or, in the alternative, approve such transaction by written consent of the Company’s Stockholders and raise no objections to the transaction or the process pursuant to which the transaction was arranged, (ii) voting the shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock then beneficially held by such Drag-Along Owner in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such transaction, (iii) waiving any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such transaction, (iv) not depositing any shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock held by such Drag-Along Owner in a voting trust or subjecting any such shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the Proposed Transferee in connection with such transaction, and (v) taking all other necessary and desirable actions reasonably requested by the Approving Stockholders to cause such transaction to be consummated, including executing and delivering all related documents.

The provisions of Sections 3(c) and 3(d)(i) above do not apply to any Transfer by a Stockholder of such Stockholders’ Preferred Stock or Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act.
Section 4. Indirect Transfers.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Indirect Transfer of the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock held by a Stockholder (any such Stockholder is hereinafter referred to as a “Indirect Transferee”), the Indirect Transferee shall give written notice (the “Indirect Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Preferred Stockholders stating that an Indirect Transfer has occurred and specifying the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock held by the Indirect Transferee (the “Indirect Transfer Shares”). Within twenty (20) business days following its receipt of the Indirect Transfer Notice, the Company shall determine the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of each share of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as applicable, covered by the Indirect Transfer Notice and notify the Indirect Transferee and the Preferred Stockholders of its determination.
(b) For purposes of calculating the Fair Market Value of the Indirect Transfer Shares, the “Fair Market Value” per share shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (other than those directors, if any, affiliated with or nominated by the Indirect Transferee) as of the date of the Indirect Transfer and in making such determination it shall not give consideration to any discount related to shares representing minority interest or related to any illiquidity or lack of marketability of shares arising from restrictions on transfer under applicable federal or state securities laws, but shall take into consideration the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as applicable, held by such Indirect Transferee. If the Indirect Transferee disagrees with such determination of Fair Market Value for either or both of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock (each, a “Value Dispute”), the Indirect Transferee shall provide written notice to the Company thereof within five (5) business days after delivery of the Company’s determination, and the Fair Market Value per share of the Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, shall be determined by the following procedures. Each of the Company and the Indirect Transferee shall appoint an independent appraiser, each of whom shall independently determine the Fair Market Value per share of the Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as the case may be (the “Appraised Values”). If the higher of the Appraised Values with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock is not more than 25% higher than the
12
lower of the Appraised Values for the Preferred Stock and/or the Common Stock, as applicable, then the Fair Market Value per share will be the average of the two Appraised Values for the Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as applicable. If the higher of the Appraised Values is more than 25% higher than the lower of the Appraised Values, than the parties shall appoint a third independent appraiser who shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Appraised Values, select one of the two Appraised Values as the Fair Market Value per share which is closest to the Fair Market Value per share determined by such third party appraiser (the “Third Party Determination”). The Third Party Determination shall be binding on and non-appealable by the Company, the Indirect Transferee and the Preferred Stockholders. All costs of the appraisers pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be borne by the Indirect Transferee.
(c) Within five (5) business days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the time period provided in Section 4(b) above to submit a Value Dispute if the Indirect Transferee does not submit a Value Dispute or, if earlier, acceptance of the Company’s determination of Fair Market Value, and (ii) determination of the Fair Market Value in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b) above in the event of a Value Dispute, the Company shall, subject to Section 4(d) below, have the irrevocable and exclusive option to purchase all or any portion of the Indirect Transfer Shares by delivery of a written notice to the Indirect Transferee of its election to exercise its option under this Section 4 and the number and type of Indirect Transfer Shares it is electing to purchase. To the extent the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Indirect Transfer Shares or does not make any election within such five (5) business day period, the Indirect Transferee shall notify the Preferred Stockholders of the number of Indirect Transfer Shares that remain eligible for purchase, and the Preferred Stockholders, excluding the Indirect Transferee, shall, subject to Section 4(d) below, have the irrevocable and exclusive option for ten (10) business days following receipt of such notice to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Indirect Transfer Shares at the Fair Market Value by delivery of written notice to the Indirect Transferee and the Company of their election to exercise their option under this Section 4(c) (any such holder exercising this election, a “Indirect Transfer Participant”) and the maximum number of shares (up to that portion of such Indirect Transfer Shares that equals the proportion that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and/or are issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by an Indirect Transfer Participant plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to such holder if the Indirect Transfer Participant is West Central bears to the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued or are issuable upon conversion of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issued to West Central, in each case excluding any such shares held by the Indirect Transferee) that they are willing to purchase, as well as the number of additional shares that such holder desires to purchase in the event all of the remaining Indirect Transfer Shares are not elected to be purchased by the other Preferred Stockholders which shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated in a similar manner as described in the preceding sentence, and continuing in a like manner until the Indirect Transfer Participants have purchased all of the Indirect Transfer Shares as they may elect). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Indirect Transfer Notice, the Indirect Transfer Participants shall deliver to the Indirect Transferee a written notice of their election to purchase any remaining Indirect Transfer Shares.
13
(d) The Company and the Indirect Transfer Participants shall deliver the aggregate Fair Market Value for any Indirect Transfer Shares that any such party elects to purchase to the Indirect Transferee no later than the later of sixty (60) days after receipt of the Indirect Transfer Notice and fifteen (15) business days after the determination of the Fair Market Value in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b) above in the event of a Value Dispute. In the event the Company and the Indirect Transfer Participants, taken together, do not elect to purchase all of the Indirect Transfer Shares pursuant to Section, then any subsequent Transfer or Indirect Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 5. Enforcement; Legends. No Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be transferred on the books of the Company, nor shall any Transfer be effective, unless and until the terms and provisions of this Agreement are first complied with and, in case of violation of this Agreement by the attempted Transfer of Preferred Stock or Common Stock without compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, such Transfer shall be invalid and of no effect. The Stockholders will cause the Company to imprint a legend on any certificates evidencing Preferred Stock or Common Stock which are subject to this Agreement referring to the voting rights and the restrictions on Transfer imposed hereunder.
Section 6. Preemptive Rights.
(a) Each Preferred Stockholder (the “Preemptive Participants”) shall have a preemptive right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share (as defined in this Section 6(a)) of future sales by the Company of its equity securities issued for cash other than as provided in Section 6(c) below (“New Securities”). For each Preemptive Participant, “Pro Rata Share” equals the ratio that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by the Preemptive Participant (plus the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Preemptive Participant if the Preemptive Participant is West Central or a member of the USBG Group), immediately prior to the sale of the New Securities bears to (ii) the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding and the total number of shares of Common Stock held by West Central and members of the USBG Group, immediately prior to the sale of the New Securities. Each time the Company proposes to offer any of its securities, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Preemptive Participants stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such securities, (ii) the number of such securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to offer such securities (the “Offer Notice”). By written notification received by the Company within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Offer Notice, a Preemptive Participant may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to such holder’s Pro Rata Share and stating therein the quantity of such securities to be purchased. To the extent any Preemptive Participant elects not to purchase such holder’s Pro Rata Share of New Securities, then such holder’s Pro Rata Share shall be allocated pro rata among the Preemptive Participants electing to purchase their Pro Rata Share of New Securities in a similar “as converted” basis to the extent such holders wish to purchase more than their full
14
Pro Rata Share. The closing date of the transactions contemplated by this Section 6(a) shall be as mutually agreed by the Company and the purchasing Preemptive Participants, but no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Offer Notice.
(b) In the event the Preemptive Participants do not elect to purchase all of the securities pursuant to Section 6(a), the Company may sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such securities at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable in the aggregate than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If for any reason the Company does not consummate the sale of such securities within the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the date of the Offer Notice, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Preemptive Participants in accordance herewith.
(c) The preemptive rights in this Section 6 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, directors and consultants for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services in an amount not to exceed 2,600,000 shares, (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock, registered under the Securities Act, (iii) the issuance of warrants or the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities (including without limitation shares of capital stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued or committed to be issued by the Company as of the date of this Agreement at the exercise price stated in such warrants (subject to anti-dilution adjustments as provided therein)), (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, (v) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or other securities in connection with any borrowings by the Company, direct or indirect, from financial institutions, whether or not presently authorized, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by any type of debt instrument, provided that such issuances are approved by a majority of the directors nominated by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, (vi) securities issued to vendors, lenders, equipment lessors or in connection with strategic or licensing transactions, joint ventures or similar transactions, provided that such issuances are approved by a majority of the directors nominated by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, (vii) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization of the Company, and (viii) any right, option or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities excluded from the preemptive rights pursuant to this subsection (i) through (vii) of this Section 6(c). In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 6 shall not be applicable with respect to any Preemptive Participant in any subsequent offering of securities if, at the time of such offering, the Preemptive Participant is not qualified to participate in the offering based on the applicable exemption from registration pursuant to which the offering is being made.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights of the Preemptive Participants to purchase any securities of the Company as set forth in this Section 6 may be waived, in whole or in part, prospectively or retroactively, by the written consent or
15
affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the outstanding shares held by the Preemptive Participants (which must also include the written consent or affirmative vote of a Preferred Supermajority) immediately prior to the issuance of such securities by the Company.
Section 7. Information, Inspection and Observer Rights.
(a) Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Preferred Stockholder, within the time periods specified below unless such period is extended by unanimous vote of the Preferred Stockholders:

Such observers shall receive advance notice of all such meetings and all materials provided to the directors before and during such meetings. The Company may remove or exclude such observers from any meeting of the Board and of any committees of the Board when such observers’ presence would reasonably be expected to compromise attorney-client confidentiality, would be reasonably necessary to protect highly confidential information or for other similar bona fide corporate reasons. The decision of the Board with respect to the privileged or confidential nature of such information shall be final and binding.
(d) Confidentiality. Each Preferred Stockholder hereby agrees, and each board observer, as a condition to observing or participating in meetings of the Board or its committees shall agree, that such Preferred Stockholder or board observer shall hold all Confidential Information in confidence and shall not use any Confidential Information so provided for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Company or disclose any such Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company, except that each Preferred Stockholder may disclose Confidential Information without the Company’s consent to: (i) its attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors as necessary each of who shall be bound by this obligation of confidentiality and for whose breach thereof the disclosing Preferred Stockholder shall be liable, (ii) any Person who is a permitted transferee of such Preferred Stockholder under this Agreement each of who shall be bound by this obligation of confidentiality, and (iii) any other Preferred Stockholder. For purposes of this Section 7(d), the term “Confidential Information” shall mean the financial statements described in Section 7(a) above, any confidential or proprietary information of the Company provided to a Preferred Stockholder or designee pursuant to the inspection rights in Section 7(b) and any confidential or proprietary information of the Company provided to an observer pursuant to such observer’s rights in Section 7(c); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include (a) information which is in the public domain through no act or omission of such Preferred Stockholder or board observer in violation of this Agreement, (b) is lawfully acquired by such Preferred Stockholder or board observer from a third party not bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Company or (c) information required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable law, rule or regulation or legal process.
