Section
4. Right of First Refusal; Right of First Offer


 


4.1
Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4.1, each Investor hereby
grants to FCCG a right of first refusal with respect to the Transfer, at any time and from time to time, of all or any part of
its Warrants to a non-Affiliate of the Investor.


 


(a)
Unless otherwise agreed between the Investors and FCCG, any Investor wishing to Transfer its Warrant (the “Transferor”)
to any non-Affiliate of such Investor (the “Transferee”) shall send a
written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to FCCG stating the number of
Warrants to be Transferred, which may be all or part of such Investors’ Warrants (the “Offered
Warrants”), the identity of the proposed Transferee, and the price per Warrants and
other terms of the proposed Transfer. A Transfer to an Affiliate of an Investor shall not require delivery of a Transfer
Notice, provided that the transferee agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on or prior to such
Transfer. 


 


(b)
For a period of ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Transfer Notice, FCCG may elect to purchase, at the price and
on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, any all or portion of the Offered Warrants. 


 


(c)
If FCCG does not elect to purchase any or all of the Offered Warrants, the Investor may Transfer the balance of the Offered
Warrants to the Transferee at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable than those, specified in the
Transfer Notice; provided, however, that, such Transferee and any subsequent Transferees must agree to be bound by
this Section 4.1 until the expiration of the Warrants or the termination of this Agreement.


 


4.2
Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4.2, for a period of ten
(10) years commencing on the date of first exercise of the Warrants, each Investor hereby grants to FCCG a right of first offer
with respect to any Warrant Shares issued to such Investor upon the exercise of its Warrants that such Investor intends to Transfer
to any non-Affiliate of such Investor.


 


(a)
The Investor shall deliver a Notice to FCCG stating (i) its bona fide intention to Transfer the Warrant Shares, (ii) the
number of Warrant Shares to be sold and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer the Warrant Shares for
Transfer, which terms shall be reasonable taking into consideration that the Warrant Shares are publicly traded. The parties
acknowledge that no such terms shall be deemed unreasonable solely because the price exceeds the then-current market
price.


 


(b)
By written notification received by FCCG within five (5) Business Days after the giving of Notice, FCCG may elect to
purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, any portion of the Warrant Shares. 


 


(c)
If FCCG does not elect to purchase any or all of the Warrant Shares set forth in the Notice, the Investor may Transfer the
balance of the Warrant Shares (i) in an open market transaction or (ii) to a non-Affiliate of the Investor in a private
transaction at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable than those, specified in the Notice.
