Any Disposition in violation of this Section 3.1 shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

3.2 Rights of First Refusal. The Company and the Shareholders not proposing to Dispose of their Shares shall have rights of first refusal to purchase any Shares proposed to be Disposed of by the Offering Shareholder as provided below, unless the Board waives the application of this Section 3.2 to any such Disposition:

(a) Notice of Intent to Dispose. If an Offering Shareholder wishes to Dispose of any of his, her, or its Shares, the Offering Shareholder must first give written notice of such intent to the Company (the “Disposition Notice”). The Disposition Notice shall be accompanied by a signed copy of any proposed Disposition agreement and must name the proposed transferee, describe his, her, or its business background, and specify the number of Offered Shares, the price per Share, and the payment terms.

(b) Company Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares. Promptly on receipt of the Disposition Notice, the secretary of the Company shall forward a copy of the Disposition Notice to each member of the Board.

(c) Company Option to Purchase. For 20 days following delivery of the Disposition Notice to the Company, the Company shall have the option to purchase the Offered Shares. The purchase price and terms on which Company may purchase the Offered Shares shall be the price and financial terms stated in the Disposition Notice. If the Company exercises the option within the 20-day period, as to all or part of the Offered Shares, the secretary of the Company shall give notice of that fact to the Offering Shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability of the Company to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the restrictions governing the rights of a Company to purchase its own stock as contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law, and any restrictions under an agreement with the Company’s lenders, to which the Company is now or hereafter may become subject.

(d) Shareholders’ Right of First Refusal. If the option is not exercised by the Company as to all Offered Shares within the 20-day period, then any Shareholder other than the Offering Shareholder (the “Remaining Shareholders”) shall have a similar right of first refusal for any unpurchased Shares, provided that the Board may waive this purchase option to the Remaining Shareholders in its sole and absolute discretion.

(i) Notice. A copy of the Disposition Notice shall be given by the Company to the Remaining Shareholders promptly, and in any event no less than seven days following the earlier of: (a) the day following the Company’s election not to exercise its option as to all of the offered Shares; or (b) the expiration of the Company’s option period. The Remaining Shareholders shall have the option to purchase any Offered Shares not purchased by the Company at the price and on the terms stated in the Disposition Notice.

(ii) Exercise. Within 20 days after the delivery of the Disposition Notice to the Remaining Shareholders, any Remaining Shareholder desiring to acquire any part or all of the Offered Shares shall deliver to the secretary of the Company a written election to purchase the Offered Shares or a specified number of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if more than one Remaining Shareholder wishes to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then each Remaining Shareholder shall have the option to purchase the Offered Shares in an amount equal to the number represented by the ratio such Remaining Shareholder’s Shares has to the total number of Shares held by all Shareholders desiring to exercise the option (or in such amounts as the Remaining Shareholders may otherwise agree among themselves), at the price and upon the terms contained in the Disposition Notice. Within 30 days after the delivery of the Disposition Notice to the Remaining Shareholders, an officer of the Company shall notify each Remaining Shareholder of the number of the Offered Shares as to which his, her, or its election was effective.

(e) All Shares Purchased. If all of the Offered Shares are subscribed for, the buyer(s) shall then complete the purchase of the Offered Shares as if it or they were the transferee named in the Disposition Notice.

(f) Not All Shares Purchased. If not all of the Offered Shares are subscribed for, the Offering Shareholder is free to Dispose all of the Offered Shares to the transferee named in the Disposition Notice, subject to any such Disposition satisfying the other requirements respecting any transfer of shares set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (e.g., the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Section 3), including, but not limited to, the consent of the Board to any such Disposition in its sole and absolute discretion. This Disposition may occur at any time within 45 days following the expiration of the Shareholders’ 30-day option period and shall be made at the price and on the terms stated in the Disposition Notice. The Offering Shareholder shall not be entitled to Dispose of the Shares without again complying with this Section unless the Offered Shares are actually Disposed of within such 45-day period to the proposed transferee named, and on the same terms specified, in the Disposition Notice.

3.3 Dispositions Not Subject To Right Of First Refusal. The following Dispositions shall not be subject to the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 3.2 or require any action by the Board (except as specifically provided below):

(a) Inter Vivos Transfers. Any Shareholder may transfer, by inter vivos transfer, any or all of his or her Shares to a trust primarily for his or her (and/or his or her immediately family’s) benefit so long as such Shareholder is and remains a trustee of the trust and, as such, has sole voting and disposition control on behalf of the trust with respect to such Shares, and provided that all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply to such Shares as if still held by such Shareholder. Any Shares transferred pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) subsequently may be transferred back to the transferring Shareholder, in which case the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall also apply.

(b) Other Exceptions. A Disposition may be effected pursuant to the exercise of the drag-along right set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the tag-along right set forth in Section 3.7, or pursuant to a purchase upon any event specified in Section 3.6 (Transfers upon Trigger Event) or Section 3.5 (Transfers upon a divorce or legal separation).

(b) Prior to making the Transfer, the Company shall first send a written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each Drag-Along Shareholder no more than ten (10) days after the execution and delivery by all of the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Drag-Along Sale and, in any event, no later than twenty (20) days prior to the closing date of such Drag-Along Sale.

In addition, each Drag-Along Shareholder and the Company shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other in order to effect the Change of Control Transaction, and each Drag-Along Shareholder shall provide reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with the preparation of disclosure schedules relating to representations and warranties to be made to the proposed transferee in connection with such Change of Control Transaction and in the determination of the appropriate scope of, or limitations or exceptions to, such representations and warranties. If any Drag-Along Shareholder should fail to deliver such certificates and instruments of transfer to the Company, the Company shall cause its books and records to show that such shares of Shares are bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4 and that such Shares shall have been transferred to the proposed transferee, and all certificates or other evidence of ownership of the Shares subject to this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to be cancelled.

(iv) No Drag-Along Shareholder shall be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other person in connection with the Drag-Along Sale other than representations and warranties made with respect to the Company; and

(a) Grant. The Company shall have the right (such right to be exercised by the Board) (the “Special Purchase Right”), exercisable at any time during the 45-day period following the Company’s receipt of the required Dissolution Notice under Section 3.5(b), to purchase from the Shareholder’s spouse, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5(c), any or all of the Shareholder’s Shares which would otherwise be awarded to such spouse incident to the dissolution of marriage or legal separation in settlement of any community property or other marital property rights such spouse may have or obtain in the Shareholder’s Shares. The Special Purchase Right shall not apply to any Shares retained by the Shareholder.

(b) Notice of Decree or Agreement. Each Shareholder shall promptly provide the Company with written notice (the “Dissolution Notice”) of (i) the entry of any judicial decree or order resolving the property rights of the Shareholder and the Shareholder’s spouse in connection with their marital dissolution or legal separation, or (ii) the execution of any contract or agreement relating to the distribution or division of such property rights. The Dissolution Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the actual decree of dissolution or settlement agreement between Shareholder and the Shareholder’s spouse, which provides for the award to the spouse of any Shares in settlement of any community property or other marital property rights such spouse may have in such Shares.

(c) Exercise of Special Purchase Right. The Special Purchase Right shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (the “Special Purchase Notice”) to the Shareholder and the Shareholder’s spouse within 45 days after the Company’s receipt of the Dissolution Notice. The Special Purchase Notice shall indicate the date the purchase is to be effected (such date to be not less than 10 days, nor more than 45 days, after the date of the Special Purchase Notice), and the amount that the Company proposes to pay for the Shares. If the Shareholder’s spouse does not agree to the amount proposed to be paid by the Company, then the price to be paid shall be the Fair Market Value of such Shares as reasonably determined by the Board. The purchase price shall be payable in all cash at closing.

3.6 Trigger Event.

(a) Notification of Trigger Event. Within 30 days from the occurrence of a Trigger Event with respect to any Shareholder, the Person for whom a Trigger Event has occurred (for these purposes, the “Triggered Shareholder”) (or the Triggered Shareholder’s personal representative or other successor if applicable) shall provide the Company with written notice (“Trigger Notice”) of the Trigger Event. If a Trigger Notice is not sent as contemplated herein, then notice shall be deemed given 30 days from the date the Company is made aware of such Trigger Event.

(b) Company’s Option to Purchase. For the 90-day period (the “Company’s Option Period”) commencing with the Company’s receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Trigger Notice, the Company (as determined by the Board) shall have the option (the “Company’s Trigger-Related Purchase Option”) to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares. The Company’s Trigger- Related Purchase Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of written notice (the “Company’s Notice of Trigger-Related Exercise”) to the Triggered Shareholder (or the Triggered Shareholder’s personal representative or other successor if applicable) prior to the expiration of the Company’s Option Period.

(c) Remaining Shareholders’ Option to Purchase. If the Company does not exercise the Company’s Trigger-Related Purchase Option (as contemplated in Section 3.6(b)), then for the 30 day period (the “Remaining Shareholders’ Option Period”) commencing upon the expiration of the Company’s Option Period, any remaining Shareholder (other than the Triggered Shareholder) (the “Remaining Shareholders’ Trigger-Related Purchase Option”) to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares. The Remaining Shareholders’ Option Period shall commence sooner if the Company notifies such remaining Shareholders, in writing, prior to the expiration of the Company’s Option Period that the Company does not intend to exercise the Company’s Trigger-Related Purchase Option. If more than one Shareholder wishes to exercise the Remaining Shareholders’ Trigger-Related Purchase Option, then each such remaining Shareholder shall be entitled to purchase a portion of the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares on a pro rata basis, based on the relative Percentage Interests of the remaining Shareholders wishing to purchase the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares (or more or less, as such remaining Shareholders may agree). If such remaining Shareholders agree, then the Company, at its election, may also participate in the acquisition of Shares pursuant to the Remaining Shareholders’ Trigger- Related Purchase Option. The Remaining Shareholders’ Trigger-Related Purchase Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of written notice (the “Remaining Shareholders’ Notice of Trigger-Related Exercise”) to the Triggered Shareholder prior to the expiration of the Remaining Shareholders’ Option Period. Each such remaining Shareholder (and the Company, if applicable) wishing to exercise the Remaining Shareholders’ Trigger-Related Purchase Option shall indicate in its written notice what portion of the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares it is willing to purchase.

(d) Purchase Consideration. The purchase price for the Triggered Shareholder’s Shares shall be payable in cash or, at the option of each of the purchaser(s), in the form of a 5-year nonnegotiable promissory note bearing interest at the Default Interest Rate compounded annually on each anniversary of the note. For purposes of clarification, some purchasers may pay in cash, while others pay in the form of a note; and if more than one purchaser pays in the form of a note, then there shall be one note from each such purchaser, each note exclusive of the other. The note(s) shall be payable in annual installments of principal and interest accrued to date, with payments determined necessary to fully amortize the note with equal payments of principal and interest over the term of the note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a computational year of 360 days of equal 30-day months. The purchaser(s) shall be permitted to prepay the principal, in part or in whole, without penalty. If the note is made by one or more Shareholder(s), then the note shall be secured by the Shares acquired. All other terms of the note shall be reasonably determined by the parties to such note, or, if they cannot agree, by the Board.

(e) Purchase Price and Closing. The applicable notice of exercise shall indicate (i) the date the purchase is to be effected, provided such date is not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than sixty (60) Business Days, after the date of the expiration of the applicable option period, and (ii) the amount which the Company or the Shareholder(s), as applicable, proposes to pay for the Shares. If the Triggered Shareholder (or the Triggered Shareholder’s personal representative or other successor if applicable) does not agree to the amount proposed to be paid, the price to be paid shall be the Fair Market Value of such Shares as reasonably determined by the Board.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the purchase price for the Shares to be paid shall be offset by any indebtedness or other amounts outstanding owed to the purchaser(s) by the Triggered Shareholder.

3.7 Tag-Along Sale.

(a) If the Company wants to consummate a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Transaction”) other than pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company must first give written notice of such intent to the other Shareholders of such proposed Change of Control Transaction by a date which shall not be later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Company entering into any definitive binding agreement in respect thereof (the “Sale Notice”). Thereafter, each other Shareholder (a “Tag-Along Shareholder”) may cause the Company to effect a Disposition of such other Shareholder’s Shares; in each case, only pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 3.7:

(b) The Tag-Along Shareholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the proposed Change of Control Transaction on the terms and conditions herein stated (the “Tag-Along Option”) which right shall be exercisable upon such written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Company within ten (10) days of receipt of the Sale Notice. Each Acceptance Notice shall indicate the maximum number of Shares that the Tag-Along Shareholder wishes to sell on the terms and conditions stated in the Sale Notice.

4.	Participation Right.

4.1 Participation Right. Each of the Shareholders has the right to co-invest and to purchase such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (including common stock being sold to the public in the IPO) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Participation Right”), provided, however, that a Shareholder shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities and exercise such Participation Right if such New Securities are being issued in a private placement pursuant to Regulation 506(b) under the Securities Act and such Shareholder cannot demonstrate to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such Shareholder is, at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities, an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A Shareholder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this participation and co-investment right is a percentage of any New Securities (including common stock sold in the IPO) equal to such Shareholder’s relative percentage ownership of the Company’s common stock.

4.2 Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Shareholder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “Participation Right Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Shareholder shall have twenty (20) days from the date such Participation Right Notice is given, to agree in writing to purchase such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Participation Right Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share).

4.3 Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Shareholders fail to exercise in full their Participation Rights within such twenty (20) day period, then the Company shall have one hundred twenty

(120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Shareholders’ Participation Rights were not exercised, at a price not more favorable and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Participation Right Notice to the Shareholders. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering the Participation Right in such New Securities to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 4.

5.	Confidentiality.

5.1 Each Shareholder shall keep confidential and not divulge any information (including all client lists, business plans, and analyses) concerning the Company, including its client information, assets, business, operations, financial condition, or prospects (“Information”), and to use such Information only in connection with the operation of the Company; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Shareholder from disclosing such Information (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Shareholder, (iii) to the extent compelled by legal process or required or requested pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories, or other discovery requests, (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (v) to other Shareholders, (vi) to such Shareholder’s legal and accounting advisors that in the reasonable judgment of such Shareholder need to know such Information or (vii) to the extent necessary in connection with such Shareholder’s performance of duties to the Company as an employee or otherwise, provided, further, that in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), such Shareholder shall notify the Company of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment, when and if available.

5.2 The restrictions of this Section 5 shall not apply to information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Shareholder in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to a Shareholder on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the receiving Shareholder, (iii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Shareholder without use of the Company’s Information as demonstrated by contemporaneous written evidence, or (iv) becomes available to the receiving Shareholder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any other Shareholder, provided, that such source is not known by the recipient of the information to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any disclosing Shareholder or any of their representatives.

5.3 As a violation by any Party of this Section 5 would cause irreparable injury to the Company, and there is no adequate remedy at law for such violation, the Company shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, have the right in addition to any other remedies available, at law or equity, to equitable relief against the Shareholder from violating such provisions. The Parties hereby waive any and all defenses they may have on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant an injunction or other equitable relief, or otherwise. The existence of this right shall not preclude any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that the Company may have.
