For the purposes of this Article 2.8 only, it is deemed that any part of the Option that has vested pursuant to the terms of Article 2.1 shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purposes of determining the number of Optioned Shares that the Optionee holds. The Voluntary Resale Restriction shall be equally applicable to the Optionee, the founders of the Optionor and seed investors of the Optionor (collectively referred to in this paragraph as the “aforementioned individuals”). In the event that the Optionor relaxes these restrictions (the “Relaxed Restriction Terms”), the Optionee will participate in the Relaxed Restriction Terms, at his option, in any further permitted resales of Optioned Shares on a pro-rata basis with the aforementioned individuals.

In the event that the Optionor requires employees and/or its founders and/or seed investors to enter into any voting or shareholders agreement, the Optionee shall enter into such agreement prior to the Option exercise becoming effective. The Optionee acknowledges and confirms that the terms in any voting or shareholder agreement may not be favourable to the Optionee.

2.11 Right of First Refusal

In the event that after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Optionor, if it is the Optionee’s intention to sell any shares of the Optionor owned by him, which shares may have been purchased either through the exercise of the Option described herein or otherwise, the Optionee will give the Optionor written notice of his intention to do so together with the proposed terms of sale including but not limited to the sale price (the “Sale Notice”). Upon receiving such written notice from the Optionee, the Optionor shall have the right to purchase such shares from the Optionee for a period of ten (10) business days from the date that the Optionee provides said written notice to the Optionor of its intention to sell said shares on the terms set out in the Sale Notice. In the event the Optionor does not exercise its right of first refusal as aforesaid the Optionee shall be entitled to sell such shares to a third party for a period of 60 days and further provided that the sale terms to such third party are no more favourable. than the terms set out in the Sale Notice; failing which the right of first refusal provision in this paragraph shall again be applicable.
