the price and on the terms specified in the Sale Notice, in an amount up to the Investor’s First Refusal Pro Rata Share of the Available Shares.

 

2.4                                  Upon the expiration of the twenty (20)-day period after the Sale Notice Date, the Offeror shall promptly send a Notice (the “ Second Sale Notice ”) to the Company and the Investors that agreed to purchase their full Pro Rata Shares of the Offered Shares (the “ Electing Investors ”) of any other Investors’ failure to do likewise, stating the number of Available Shares that the Investors have not elected to purchase (the “ Refused Shares ”).

 

2.5                                  By Notice delivered to the Offeror and the Company within ten (10) days after delivery by the Offeror of the Second Sale Notice, each Electing Investor may elect to purchase Refused Shares, at the price and on the terms specified in the Sale Notice, in an amount up to the total number of Refused Shares.  If the Electing Investors elect to purchase a total number of shares in excess of the Refused Shares, the Refused Shares shall be allocated among the holders so electing on a pro rata basis, based on the relative number of Conversion Shares held by or issuable to each Electing Investor, up to the full amount of Refused Shares each Electing Investor has elected to purchase, until all Offered Shares have been allocated.

3.2                                  Any Investor who fails to notify the Company and Offeror within twenty (20) days after the Sale Notice of the exercise of the Investor’s Co-Sale Right (or who has exercised purchase rights under Section 2), shall have thereby waived Co-Sale Rights with respect to the Offered Shares.

 

3.3                                  If any Investor has made a timely exercise of a Co-Sale Right, to the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from an Investor exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder (a “ Co-Selling Investor ”), the Offeror shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases such Co-Sale Shares from such Co-Selling Investor for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sale Notice.

3.4                                  Each Co-Selling Investor shall, promptly after exercising a Co-Sale Right, deliver to the Offeror for transfer to the prospective purchaser or purchasers one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, evidencing the Co-Sale Shares, Series A-1 Shares convertible into Co-Sale Shares or any combination of the two (and, if the Offered Shares included Series A Shares, the number of Series A Shares comprising Co-Sale Shares).  If a prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of preferred stock in lieu of Common Stock, any Co-Selling Investor shall convert the Series A-1 Shares into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above.  The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual sale of such shares to the proposed purchaser.  Series A Shares may not be delivered to exercise a Co-Sale Right with respect to offered Common Stock or offered Series A-1 Shares.

If the Offeror does not enter into an agreement for the sale of any of the Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of its execution, the right provided under Sections 2 and 3 shall be revived as to the unsold Offered Shares, which shall not be sold unless first reoffered to the Company and the Investors in accordance with Sections 2 and 3.  Any partial sale of Shares made pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares.
