If the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, at any time from Closing through the IPO, the Company shall first offer the New Securities to Raven and the Investors.

If Raven desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, it must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after Raven has received the Pre-Notice that Raven is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of Raven’s participation, and representing and warranting that Raven has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from Raven as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, Raven shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

|
|
c.
|
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th ) Trading Day after Raven has received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Investors of it or his willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause his or its designee to participate) is less than the total amount of the Investor Participation Amount, then the Company shall offer to sell Raven the remaining New Securities that the Investors did not purchase, and if Raven does not purchase all of the remaining New Securities, then the Company may sell the remaining portion of such New Securities in a Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
|

e.
|
The Company must provide Raven with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and Raven will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.2, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

|
|
|

|
|
|
h.
|
The Company will not grant any other Person or Persons any preemptive rights, rights of first offer or similar rights to acquire New Securities, unless such rights are subordinate to the rights of Raven granted under this Section 4.2 and Raven has consented to any such grant of such rights.

By notification to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Sale Offer Notice is given, the Purchaser may elect to exercise its Right of First Refusal and pursue a Sale of the Company on the terms set forth in the Sale Offer Notice.

If the Purchaser does not exercise its Right of First Refusal, the Company during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 4.3(b), may close on a Sale of the Company at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Sale Offer Notice.

If Bret Chilcot desires to sell more than 15% of his shares in any calendar year, Bret Chilcot shall first offer such shares to Raven and Raven shall have five (5) Trading Days to purchase such shares at the average daily trading price determined by adding the closing bid price on each day from the date of the offer to the date of Raven’s acceptance of such offer (the “Calculation Period”), and dividing such total closing bid prices by the number of days in the Calculation Period. Bret Chilcot may withdraw his offer at any time prior to Raven’s acceptance by giving Raven written notice of such withdrawal, and any offer that has been withdrawn must be re-offered to Raven under the terms of this Section 4.3(d) prior to any sale of such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Bret Chilcot sell shares of his Common Stock in a single transaction or in the aggregate, if such sale or sales would result in a sale of 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by Bret Chilcot.
