In addition, the agreement grants mutual rights of first refusal to the Company and the Parent Company with respect to proposed third-party transfers of shares in Tachyonext. The Company also holds consent rights over any future equity issuances by Tachyonext that would exceed the currently outstanding 5,000 shares, subject to limited exceptions, including board- and shareholder-approved equity plans and strategic transactions.

| (c) | Exercise Notice: To exercise the Put Option, the Investor shall deliver written notice (the “Put Notice”) to the Parent Company and the Company, specifying the number of Shares it wishes to sell (the “Put Shares”). |
| (d) | Closing of Put Sale: The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Shares (the “Put Closing”) shall take place within sixty (60) days following the date of the Put Notice, or such other date as mutually agreed. At the Put Closing, the Investor shall transfer the Put Shares free and clear of all liens, and the Parent Company (or the Company, as applicable) shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Put Shares (subject to the Put Cap) to the Investor in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by such other means or assets as mutually agreed in writing between the Investor and the purchasing party. If the value of all Put Shares offered by the Investor (at the original Per Share Purchase Price) exceeds the remaining amount under the Put Cap, the Parent Company (or the Company) shall only be obligated to purchase the maximum number of full shares whose aggregate price does not exceed such remaining Put Cap. |
| (e) | Multiple Exercises: The Investor may exercise the Put Option multiple times until the Put Cap is reached. |
10.2. Right of First Refusal.
| (a) | Transfer Notice: If either Major Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) proposes to transfer any of its Shares in the Company to one or more third parties (a “Proposed Transfer”), the Transferring Shareholder shall first deliver a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the other Major Shareholder (the “Non-Transferring Shareholder”). The Transfer Notice shall specify: (i) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”); (ii) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (iii) the proposed purchase price per share and other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer. The Transfer Notice shall constitute a binding offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Non-Transferring Shareholder on such terms. |
| (b) | Exercise of ROFR: The Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “ROFR Exercise Period”) to elect to purchase all (but not less than all, unless otherwise agreed by the Transferring Shareholder) of the Offered Shares at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. Such election shall be made by delivering written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within the ROFR Exercise Period. |
| 8 |
| (c) | Closing of ROFR Purchase: If the Non-Transferring Shareholder exercises its right of first refusal, the closing of the purchase of the Offered Shares shall take place within sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice, or as otherwise agreed. |
| (d) | Transfer to Third Party: If the Non-Transferring Shareholder does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the ROFR Exercise Period, or fails to close such purchase within the agreed timeframe after electing to purchase (other than due to the Transferring Shareholder’s default), the Transferring Shareholder shall be free, for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, to sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee identified in the Transfer Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee than those specified in the Transfer Notice. If such sale is not consummated within such 90-day period, the provisions of this Section 10.2 must be complied with anew before any Proposed Transfer. |
| (e) | Exempt Transfers: The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not apply to (i) transfers of Shares by any Major Shareholder to its affiliates, provided that such affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) transfers for estate planning purposes or by operation of law, provided the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. |
10.3. Consent Right for New Share Issuances (Anti-Dilution Protection).
| (a) | Shareholder Consent Required: Notwithstanding any provision in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to the contrary (but subject to applicable Delaware law), any proposal by the Board of Directors of the Company to issue any new shares of capital stock of the Company (including Common Stock or any other class or series of stock), or any securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock of the Company, beyond the 5,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing of the Investor’s purchase hereunder (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, or similar events), shall require, in addition to any required Board approval, the prior written consent of all Major Shareholders (currently, Tachyon Consulting & Management Company Limited and Nocera, Inc.). |
| (b) | Purpose: This provision is intended to protect the Major Shareholders from an involuntary dilution of their respective percentage ownership interests in the Company without their express consent. |
| (c) | Exempt Issuances: The consent requirement under this Section 10.3(a) shall not apply to: (i) Shares issued pursuant to any stock option plan or equity incentive plan duly approved by the Board of Directors AND by all Major Shareholders. (ii) Shares issued upon the conversion of any convertible securities duly approved for issuance by the Board of Directors AND by all Major Shareholders. (iii) Shares issued in connection with a bona fide acquisition of another company or its assets by the Company, or a strategic partnership, provided such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors AND by Major Shareholders holding at least a 66.67% of the then-outstanding shares held by all Major Shareholders. |
