(a)Each Stockholder represents and warrants that it is the sole legal and beneficial owner of its Seller Shares and, subject to any restrictions imposed under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) or bylaws, that no other person or entity has any interest (other than a community property interest) in such Seller Shares. Before a Seller may Transfer any Seller Shares, Seller must comply with the provisions of this Section 2.2.

(i)For a period of thirty (30) days (the “Initial Exercise Period”) after the date on which the Transfer Notice is, pursuant to Section 6.1, deemed to have been delivered to the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2.

-7-
(d)Initial Exercise by the Senior Preferred Holders.
(i)Subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2(d), during the Initial Exercise Period, the Senior Preferred Holders and the Note Holders shall have the right to purchase, in the aggregate, all or any part of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (the “Remaining Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2. In order to exercise its rights hereunder, such Senior Preferred Holder or Note Holder must provide written notice delivered to Seller within the Initial Exercise Period.

(ii)To the extent the aggregate number of shares that the Senior Preferred Holders and Note Holders desire to purchase (as evidenced in the written notices delivered to Seller) exceeds the Remaining Shares, each Senior Preferred Holder and Note Holder so exercising will be entitled to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares, which shall be equal to that number of the Remaining Shares that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Remaining Shares by (y) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and other Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held by such Senior Preferred Holder or Note Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and other Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by all Senior Preferred Holders and Note Holders exercising their Rights of First Refusal (“Pro Rata ROFR Share”).
(iii)Within five (5) days after the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period, Seller will give written notice to the Company and each Senior Preferred Holder and Note Holder specifying the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company and each Senior Preferred Holder and Note Holder exercising its Right of First Refusal (the “ROFR Confirmation Notice”). The ROFR Confirmation Notice shall also specify the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company, the Senior Preferred Holders or the Note Holders, if any, pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d) (“Unsubscribed Shares”) and shall list each Participating Holder’s (as defined in Section 2.2(e)) Subsequent Pro Rata Share (as described in Section 2.2(e)) of any such Unsubscribed Shares.

To the extent that there remain any Unsubscribed Shares, each Senior Preferred Holder and Note Holder electing to exercise its right to purchase at least its full Pro Rata ROFR Share of the Remaining Shares under Section 2.2(d) (a “Participating Holder”) shall have a right to purchase all or any part of the Unsubscribed Shares; however, to the extent the aggregate number of shares that the Participating Holders desire to purchase (as evidenced in written notices delivered to the Seller) exceeds the remaining Unsubscribed Shares, each Participating Holder so exercising (an “Electing Participating Holder”) will be entitled to purchase that number of the Unsubscribed Shares that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Unsubscribed Shares by (y) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by such Electing Participating Holder and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities into Common Stock) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by all Electing Participating Holders (“Subsequent Pro Rata Share”). In order to exercise its rights hereunder, such Electing Participating Holder must provide written notice to Seller with
-8-
a copy to the Company, each Senior Preferred Holder and each Note Holder within seven (7) days after the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period (the “Subsequent Exercise Period”).
(f)The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company, a Senior Preferred Holder or a Note Holder exercising its Right of First Refusal pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be the Offered Price. 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 Seller, the Company and/or each Senior Preferred Holder and/or each Note Holder exercising its Right of First Refusal pursuant to this Section 2.2, absent fraud or error.
(g)Subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, the Company, a Senior Preferred Holder or a Note Holder exercising its Right of First Refusal pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall effect the purchase of all or any portion of the Offered Shares, including the payment of the purchase price, within ten (10) days after the later of (i) delivery of the ROFR Confirmation Notice or (ii) expiration of the Subsequent Exercise Period. Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the option of the party exercising its Right of First Refusal, (i) in cash (by check), (ii) by wire transfer, (iii) by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Seller to the Company, as applicable, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. Upon payment of the purchase price, Seller shall deliver to each of the Company, the Senior Preferred Holders and the Note Holders exercising their Rights of First Refusal, one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing such Offered Shares so purchased.
(h)Any Seller Shares not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal hereunder will continue to be subject to all other restrictions imposed upon such Seller Shares under this Agreement and by law, including any restrictions imposed under the Restated Certificate or the Company’s bylaws, or by agreement.

-9-
Preferred Holder or Note Holder shall not be deemed to apply to all Senior Preferred Holders and Note Holders in the same fashion).
(k)If any of the Offered Shares remain available after the exercise of all Rights of First Refusal, then the Seller shall be free to Transfer, subject to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, any such remaining shares to the Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or a higher price in accordance with the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice; provided, however, that if the Offered Shares are not so Transferred during the 70-day period following the deemed delivery of the Transfer Notice, then Seller may not Transfer any of such remaining Offered Shares without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement.
2.3Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Stockholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Stockholder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred and eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with the second legend set forth in Section 2.1(c) with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. To the extent that this Section 2.3 conflicts with a provision of any other agreement to which the Stockholder is party, this Section 2.3 shall govern. Each Stockholder agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3.

Each Stockholder’s and Note Holder’s pro rata share, for purposes of this Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal, is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Stockholder or Note Holder immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities (assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock and full conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, including but not limited to the Notes, held by such Stockholder or Note Holder) to (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities (assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock and full conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, including but not limited to the Notes).
-10-
3.2Other Terms. The Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal set forth in this Section 3 shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a)“New Securities” shall mean Additional Shares of Common (as defined in Article V, Section 4(d) of the Restated Certificate, as amended from time to time). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the written consent of (w) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by all the Common Holders, (x) the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, (y) for purposes of the Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal held by the Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock only, the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and (z) for purposes of the Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal held by the Note Holders only, the Investor Majority (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), either before or after the issuance of the New Securities, any and all securities of the Company to be sold in an equity financing of the Company after the date of this Agreement may be excluded from the definition of New Securities. Any such waiver and exclusion shall bind all Stockholders.
(b)In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Stockholder and Note Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Stockholder and Note Holder shall have ten (10) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered (the “Election Period”) to agree to purchase such Stockholder’s or Note Holder’s pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(c)In the event the Stockholders and Note Holders fail to exercise fully the Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal and over-allotment rights, if any, within the Election Period, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of said agreement) to sell that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Stockholders’ Right of First Refusal option set forth in this Section 3 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to Stockholders and Note Holders delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

-15-
subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(ii)As soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of the first, second, and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such quarterly period, and unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such period, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, subject to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments.
(iii)The Company will afford to each Investor and to such Investor’s accountants and counsel, reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the Company’s respective properties, books and records and written materials previously delivered to the Company’s board of directors. Each such Investor shall have such other access to management and information as is necessary for it to comply with applicable laws and regulations and reporting obligations. The Company shall not be required to disclose details of contracts with or work performed for specific customers and other business partners where to do so would violate confidentiality obligations to those parties. An Investor may exercise its rights under this Section 5.1(a)(iii) only for purposes reasonably related to its interests under this agreement and related agreements.

5.2Confidentiality. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Investor by reason of this Agreement shall have access to any trade secrets or classified information of the Company.

Each Investor acknowledges that the information received by it pursuant to this Agreement may be confidential and for its use only, and it will not use such confidential information in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other person (other than its employees or agents having a need to know the contents of such information, and its attorneys), except in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, unless the Company has made such information available to the public generally.
5.3Registration Rights.
(a)If, in connection with the Company’s sale of its equity securities following the date hereof (“Subsequent Financing”), the Company grants to the investors participating in such Subsequent Financing (“Subsequent Purchasers”) the right to cause the Company to register Company securities with the Commission under the Securities Act (“Registration Rights”), the Company shall enter into an agreement with the Investors to provide such Registration Rights to the Investors on the same terms as those granted to the Subsequent Purchasers; provided, however, that such Registration Rights shall be subject to all limitations which apply to the Registration Rights of the Subsequent Purchasers, including the ownership thresholds for recipients or transferees of Registration Rights and timing and offering size requirements which limit the exercise of such Registration Rights.
-16-
(b)If, in connection with a SPAC Transaction, the Company (or any successor entity thereto resulting from the consummation of such SPAC Transaction) grants to investors in any related “private investment in public equity” or “PIPE” offering (such investors, the “PIPE Investors”) Registration Rights, the Company shall, with respect to the securities received as consideration by an Investor in connection with a SPAC Transaction, enter into an agreement with the Investors to provide such Registration Rights to the Investors on the same terms as those granted to the PIPE Investors; provided, however, that such Registration Rights shall be subject to all limitations which apply to the Registration Rights of the PIPE Investors, including the ownership thresholds for recipients or transferees of Registration Rights and timing and offering size requirements which limit the exercise of such Registration Rights.

(a)Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Agreement and signed by the Company, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by all the Common Holders and the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that (i) any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement or any term hereof that affects the Notes or Note Holders shall require the prior written consent of the Investor Majority (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement or any term hereof that affects the Note Stockholders shall require the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the Note Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sections 1.1(x)(viii), 2.1(b)(iii), 4.9(a), 5.3(b) and the
-19-
second sentence of this Section 6.11(a) may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Agreement and signed by the Company and KDT.
(b)Purchasers of Notes in a closing after the Initial Closing (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) may become parties to this Agreement, by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement without any amendment of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph or any consent or approval of the Company, any Common Holder, any Note Holder or any other Holder. If any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination operates in a manner that treats any Note Holder or Holder different from other Note Holders or Holders, the consent of such Note Holder or Holder shall also be required for such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. Any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Note Holder and Holder and each future holder of all such securities of a Note Holder and Holder. Each Note Holder and Holder acknowledges that by the operation of this paragraph, the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of such Note Holder or Holder under this Agreement subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.11 (including the proviso in Section 6.11(a)). The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination.
6.12No Waiver. The failure or delay by a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted to the parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of a party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.
6.13Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereby submits and consents irrevocably to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement. Each of the parties also agrees that the jurisdiction over the person of such parties and the subject matter of such dispute shall be effected by the mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action in the manner provided for in Section 6.1 or in such other manner as may be lawful and that service in such manner shall constitute valid and sufficient service of process.
6.14Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party such reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants in connection with any such suit or action instituted to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
6.15Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
6.16Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.
