AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows, with the effect of amending and restating the Original Agreement in full (except as otherwise specifically provided herein):

ARTICLE I
The Merger

Section 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the New Jersey Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLCA”) and the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “BCA”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Catapult. As a result of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Catapult shall continue as the entity surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”).

Section 1.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place on the first Business Day following the deadline for filing dissents to the Merger set forth in Section 2.1(e) below (the “Closing Date”).

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Catapult, Cerberus and Merger Sub shall cause articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of New Jersey in accordance with the relevant provisions of the LLCA and the BCA and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the LLCA and the BCA. The Merger will become effective at such time as a certificate of merger has been duly issued by the Secretary of State of New Jersey (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the LLCA and the BCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of Catapult and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Entity, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of Catapult and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Entity. At the Effective Time, the Catapult Shareholders shall execute and deliver the Shareholders Agreement, attached hereto as Annex 2 (the “Shareholders Agreement”).

Section 1.5 Managers and Officers. The managers and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the managers and officers of the Surviving Entity, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity.

ARTICLE II
Conversion of Securities

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Cerberus, Catapult, Merger Sub, or any of their equity holders, directors, officers or managers, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion Generally. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Catapult (“Catapult Shares”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of up to 2,566,778 shares of common stock of Cerberus, par value $0.00001 (the “Cerberus Stock”, and collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). Certificates and book-entries previously representing Catapult Shares (other than any Catapult Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration, less the Holdback, in book-entry format, without interest, upon the surrender of such Catapult Shares and execution and delivery of any other document reasonably requested by Cerberus, including a letter of transmittal and accredited investor questionnaire. All of the membership interests of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one thousand issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Entity.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each Catapult Share held by Catapult immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Further Rights in Catapult Shares. All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Catapult Shares.

(d) Holdback. At the Closing, Cerberus shall hold back and retain from the Merger Consideration an aggregate of 256,678 shares of Cerberus Stock (the “Holdback”) as a source of satisfaction of any amounts owing by the Catapult Shareholders pursuant to the terms hereof, including their indemnification obligations pursuant to ARTICLE VI hereof. The Cerberus Stock included in the Holdback, less any shares subject to offset by Cerberus in satisfaction of any amounts owing by the Catapult Shareholders pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be distributed to the Catapult Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VI.

(e) Shareholder Notice. Catapult represents that it has provided a notification to each holder of Catapult Shares who is not a signatory to this Agreement which notification included (a) a summary description of the Articles of Merger, (b) a statement that the shareholder has a right to dissent to the Merger, (c) the deadline, no less than 20 days after the date of the notification, for the shareholder submitting either a consent to the Merger or a dissent, (d) a summary, complete in all material respects, of the procedures that must be followed by the shareholder in order to assert and enforce a dissenter’s rights, and (e) any additional information which would be material to the shareholder in deciding whether to consent or dissent.

(f) Dissenters Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the BCA (but only to the extent required thereby), Catapult Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders thereof who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to demand and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 14A:11.1 et seq. of the BCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Section 14A:11.1 et seq. of the BCA unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the BCA. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and Cerberus shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 14A:11.1 et seq. of the BCA and as provided in this Section 2.1(f). Catapult will give Cerberus (i) prompt notice of any demands received by Catapult for appraisals of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the BCA and received by Catapult relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. Catapult shall not, except with the prior written consent of Cerberus, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle, or offer to agree to settle, any such demands.

(g) Debt. At or prior to the Closing, Cerberus shall (i) pay off the Catapult debts attributable to the Small Business Administration Loan Number PLP 86744050-07 issued to Catapult by TD Bank NA and dated as of August 31, 2016 (the “SBA Loan”) and shall thereafter take or cause Catapult to take such actions as may be necessary or desirable to assist Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Major, Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (collectively the “Guarantors”) in obtaining releases of their personal guaranties of the SBA Loan and releases of any liens on any of the property owned by the Guarantors and securing payment of the SBA Loan. The debts attributable to the SBA Loan shall mean the then outstanding balance of principal and interest due and owing under the SBA Loan itself (the “SBA Payoff Amount”) and the debt owed by Catapult to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx as a result of the pay down of the SBA loan he was required to make as a Guarantor. The total payoff amount for those debts shall be the loan payoff amount calculated in accordance with the process set forth in the June 29, 2021 payoff letter from TD Bank NA to Catapult regarding “Payoff for TD Bank Business loan account number: 0000000-9001” with the payoff of those debts consisting of the SBA Payoff Amount being paid to TD Bank NA and the balance of said total payoff amount being paid to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx.

(h) Options. After the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Catapult Common Stock granted under Catapult’s stock option plan (a “Catapult Stock Option”), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be adjusted as necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Catapult Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Catapult Stock Option (including terms regarding vesting) a share of Cerberus Common Stock at a price per share of Cerberus Common Stock equal to $1.3955, with the aggregate purchase price for any block of options exercised at any one time by a holder thereof rounded up to the nearest cent; provided that, for any Catapult Stock Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under any of Sections 422 through 424 of the Code, the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the Code.

Section 6.5 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Catapult, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Cerberus or its Affiliates, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(a), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(a), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Catapult Shareholders and Cerberus shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.1) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 6.5(a). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 6.6 Payments; Offset. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Catapult Shareholders are the Indemnifying Parties, Cerberus may offset against the Cerberus Stock included in the Holdback, based on the last sale price of the Cerberus Stock on the OTC Markets prior to the date hereof, in an amount equal to the liability owed hereunder.

Section 6.7 Release from Holdback. Cerberus shall release to the Shareholder Representative, after the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date (such date, the “ Holdback Release Date”), the number of shares of Cerberus Stock then-remaining in the Holdback as of the Holdback Release Date, to the extent the value of such shares (based on the last sale price of the Cerberus Stock on the OTC Markets prior to the date hereof) exceeds the aggregate amount of all indemnification Claims that have not been finally resolved and satisfied (including through offset) on or prior to the Holdback Release Date in accordance with the terms hereof (each, an “ Unresolved Claim “). The portion of the Holdback that is retained by Cerberus following the Holdback Release Date with respect to any Unresolved Claims is referred to as the “Retained Amount.” Following the Holdback Release Date, if an Unresolved Claim is finally resolved, and after any offset against the Holdback, Cerberus shall pay to the Shareholder Representative, a number of shares equal to the amount by which the remaining Retained Amount exceeds the aggregate of all remaining Unresolved Claims, determined at that time. The Shareholder Representative shall cause such shares to be distributed to the Catapult Shareholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 4.2(a) of the Catapult Disclosure Schedule.

Section 6.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.9 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 6.10 Exclusive Remedies. Except as set forth below, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI.

1.1.

Each New Holder hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company and except as set forth below, he will not during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Lock Up Period”) (i) offer, pledge, gift, donate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap, option (including, without limitation, put or call options), short sale, future, forward or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise ((i) and (ii) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lock Up”).

1.2.

Each New Holder hereby authorizes the Company during the relevant Lock Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares subject to the Lock Up for which the New Holder is the record holder and, in the case of Shares subject to this Agreement for which the New Holder is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares subject to the Lock Up, if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

1.3.

The New Holders hereby agree that each outstanding certificate representing the Shares owned by him shall, during the Lock Up Period, in addition to any other legends as may be required in compliance with Federal securities laws, bear a legend reading substantially as follows:

THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED JULY ___, 2021, TO WHICH THE ISSUER AND THE STOCKHOLDER LISTED ON THE FACE HEREOF ARE PARTIES. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER AND WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON REQUEST. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT

1.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Holders may transfer Shares as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of a family member; provided that each transferee, donee or distributee of the Shares shall sign and deliver to the Company a lock-up agreement with the substantive terms and conditions of this Section 1 contemporaneously with such transaction and further provided that the New Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the transfer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement.

1.5.

Following the release of any Shares from the Lock Up, the New Holders agree to limit the resales of such Shares in the public market as follows: if the daily average trading volume on all trading markets on which Shares are then quoted or listed (i) is less than 30,000, each New Holder shall not sell more than 1,000 Shares per trading day; (ii) is greater than 30,000 but less than 100,000, each New Holder shall not sell more than 5,000 Shares per trading day; and (iii) is greater than 100,000 shares but less than 500,000, each New Holder shall not sell more than 50,000 Shares per trading day.

1.6.

The Lock Up shall automatically terminate if a Change of Control should occur during the Lock Up Period. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean any one of the following: (i) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity (collectively, a “Person”) (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation collectively continue to hold at least 60% of the earning power, voting power or capital stock of the surviving Person); (ii) the issuance, transfer, sale or disposition to another Person of the voting power or capital stock of the Company, if after such issuance, sale, transfer or disposition such Person would hold more than 40% of the voting power or capital stock of the Company; (iii) if the Persons who, on the date of this Agreement, constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company or Persons nominated and/or appointed as directors by vote of a majority of such Persons, shall for any reason cease to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; (iv) a sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or earning power of Company; or (iv) dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

1.7.

At any time during the Lock Up Period, in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may elect to release some or all of the Shares from the Lock Up in such amounts as it may determine; provided that any such Shares so released shall be in equal an percentage to the total number of Shares subject to this Agreement as to the release of lock ups for shares of the Company’s Common Stock to which other stockholders of the Company may then be subject.

1.8.

The restrictions and other terms and conditions of this Section 1 shall not apply to a sale, transfer or other disposition of Shares by a New Holder (a) pursuant to the New Holder’s right of co-sale set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement or (b) that have been registered pursuant to and consistent with the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement.

2.	Right of Co-sale.

2.1.

Before any Founder sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any of his Shares (the “Offered Shares”) directly to a proposed purchaser or other transferee (a “Proposed Transferee”) the selling Founder (“Transferor”) shall deliver to the Company and each of the New Holders a written notice (“Transfer Notice”) stating:

Page 2

2.1.1.

the Transferor’s intention to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of such Offered Shares;

2.1.2.

the identity of each Proposed Transferee;

2.1.3.

the number of Offered Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee;

2.1.4.

the cash price and/or other consideration for which the Transferor proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (“Offered Price”); and

2.1.5.

any other material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer.

2.2.

Each New Holder shall have the right to participate, on a pro rata basis, in any sale or disposal by a Founder to a Proposed Transferee upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2. A New Holder shall exercise its right by delivering to the Transferor, within ten Business Days (as defined below) after receipt of the Transfer Notice, written notice of its intention to participate, specifying the number of Shares such New Holder desires to sell to the Proposed Transferee. At the closing of the transaction, such New Holder shall deliver such instruments of transfer and other documents necessary for transfer of the number of Shares which such New Holder elects to sell hereunder (together with, in the case of certificated Shares, one or more certificates representing such Shares) to the Proposed Transferee, and the Transferor shall pay to such New Holder a pro rata amount of the purchase price received from the Proposed Transferee as corresponds to the number of Shares sold by such New Holder as a proportion of the total number of Shares sold to the Proposed Transferee. Each New Holder shall have the right to sell up to that number of Shares equal to the product of the number of Shares acquired in the Merger that continue to be owned by such New Holder multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Offered Shares and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate number of Shares held by the Transferor and the number of Shares acquired in the Merger that continue to be owned by each of the New Holders electing to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares. In the event that the Proposed Transferee desires to purchase a number of Shares different from the amount of the Offered Shares, the amount that the Proposed Transferee desires to purchase shall be substituted for Offered Shares in the above equation for the purpose of determining each New Holder’s participation rights. If none of the New Holders elect to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares subject to the Transfer Notice, the Transferor may complete the transfer of the Offered Shares covered by the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions more favorable than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any of the Offered Shares by the Transferor, shall again be subject to the co-sale rights of the New Holders and shall require compliance by the Transferor with the procedures described in this Section 2. As used herein, “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banks in Phoenix, Arizona are authorized or required by law to be closed.

2.3.

To the extent that any Proposed Transferee prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares from any New Holder exercising its rights of co-sale under this Section 2, the Transferor shall not sell to the Proposed Transferee any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale or transfer, such Proposed Transferee shall purchase such Shares from such New Holder on the same terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice.

Page 3

2.4.

The exercise or non-exercise of the right to participate under this Section 2 with respect to a particular sale or disposition by a Shareholder (other than the New Holders) shall not adversely affect any New Holder’s right to participate in subsequent sales or Disposals by a Shareholder (other than the New Holders) pursuant to this Section 2.

2.5.

Any sale, assignment or other transfer or disposal of Shares by a Founder contrary to the provisions of this Agreement hereof shall be null and void, and the Proposed Transferee shall not be recognized by the Company as the holder or owner of the Offered Shares purported to be sold, assigned, or transferred for any purpose (including, without limitation, voting or dividend rights), unless and until the Founder has satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to such disposal. The Founder shall provide the Company and the New Holders with written evidence that such requirements have been met or waived prior to consummating any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposal of securities, and no Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until such written evidence has been received by the Company and the New Holders or the disposal of the Shares is consented to by the New Holders in writing

2.6.

Transfers of a Founder’s Shares to the Founder’s spouse, children or other members of the Founder’s immediate family (or trusts for their benefit) shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2 so long as the transferee of such Shares agrees to be bound by the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Agreement as if they were a Founder.

2.7.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply to any public sale, transfer or other disposition of Shares, including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or any successor rule or provision, or otherwise in connection with any public offering.

2.8.

The rights granted pursuant to this Section 2 shall expire upon the occurrence of both (a) the termination of the Lock Up Period, and (b) such time as the restriction pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof are no longer applicable.
