1.3.5. Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights contained in this Section1.3 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee Assignee, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant and such Permitted Transferee Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenants interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee Assignee occupies the entire Premises as of the date of the attempted exercise of the right of first refusal by Tenant. The right of first refusal granted herein shall terminate (i)with respect to any particular First Refusal Space upon the failure by Tenant to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to the First Refusal Space so offered by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section1.3. Tenant shall not have the right to lease any First Refusal Space pursuant to the terms of this Section1.3 in the event that less than two (2)years remains prior to the Lease Expiration Date; provided, however, to the extent Tenant then has an unexpired Lease Term renewal option pursuant to Section2.2 of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to irrevocably exercise such renewal option simultaneously with Tenants exercise of its first refusal right hereunder in order to cause the Lease Expiration Date to occur more than two (2)years following the First Refusal Commencement Date. Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Refusal Space, as provided in this Section1.3, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first refusal by Tenant, or, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease or Tenant has previously been in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than once during the prior twelve (12)month period.
This agreement regulates the mechanics of sales and transfers of the Company's shares. The right of first refusal (Section 2.1) provides that where a shareholder proposes to transfer shares of the Company, the Company shall have a right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of such shares that such shareholder may propose to transfer at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the prospective transferee. The Major Shareholders shall have a secondary refusal right to purchase all or any portion of the shares proposed to be transferred not already purchased by the Company pursuant to their foregoing right of first refusal. The right of co-sale (Section 2.2) provides that where a founder elects to transfer their shares and they are not purchased pursuant to the right of first refusal above (or secondary refusal right, as applicable), each Major Shareholder may elect to exercise its right of co-sale and participate in the proposed share transfer on a pro-rata basis. Section 2.3 provides that a transfer of shares that is not made in compliance with the agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Section 3 provides that the right of first (and secondary) refusal shall not apply to certain "exempt" transfers, which include: i) transfers among affiliates; ii) repurchases of shares by the Company; and iii) transfers for bona fide estate planning purposes. Section 3.3 prohibits the transfer of shares to a competitor of the Company. Section 5 provides a prohibition on the sale of the Company's shares for 180 days following the closing of a going public transaction.
3.6Exclusion from Right of First Refusal. This Right of First Refusal shall not apply with respect to shares sold and to be sold by Eligible Investors pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale (set forth in Section4).
12. Right of First Refusal. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of the Permit being terminated or revoked and BLADE is not otherwise in default of this Agreement, should APH relocate its business and operate a heliport elsewhere in Manhattan, APH agrees to work in good faith with BLADE to allow for the transfer of the Trailer to any such subsequent heliport location or for Blade to install an alternative facility consistent with the size and configuration of such subsequent heliport within the parameters of all governing permits, leases , and/or regulations. APH shall not enter into discussions or otherwise negotiate with any other FAR Part135 operator concerning the installation of a quasi-private and/or branded passenger lounge at any subsequent APH heliport location for the period of time between the termination of the Permit and April 15 of the same or subsequent year the Permit is terminated, whichever is sooner. If in the event any subsequent APH heliport has facilities for multiple quasi-private and/or branded passenger lounges, APH shall not offer any third party use of any such lounge that is substantially similar to BLADE’-s lounge in size and configuration on terms more favorable than those offered to BLADE, including rates on landing fees, unless such terms are also offered to BLADE upon reasonable prior notice.
(ii)Company’s Right of First Refusal. For a period of twenty (20) days (the “Initial Exercise Period”) after the date on which the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.11(ii). In order to exercise its right hereunder, the Company must deliver written notice to Seller within the Initial Exercise Period. Upon the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration of the Initial Exercise Period or (b) the time when Seller has received written confirmation from the Company regarding its exercise of its Right of First Refusal, the Company shall be deemed to have made its election with respect to the Offered Shares.
3.2Initial Exercise by the Eligible Investors. Subject to the limitations of this Section 3.2, concurrently with the Company, the Eligible Investors and their affiliated assignees have the Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any part of the Offered Stock; provided that each Eligible Investor so electing gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the Seller within the Initial Refusal Period. If the Seller has received written confirmation from the Company regarding its exercise of its Right First Refusal prior to the termination of the Initial Refusal Period, the shares for which the Eligible Investors may exercise their Rights of First Refusal shall be correspondingly reduced. To the extent that the Company elects not to purchase all of the Offered Stock, such remaining stock shall be allocated to the Eligible Investors (the “Remaining Shares”). To the extent that the aggregate number of shares that the Eligible Investors desire to purchase exceeds the Remaining Shares, each Eligible Investor will be entitled to purchase a fraction of the Remaining Shares, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all securities then outstanding that are convertible into Common Stock) owned by such Eligible Investor on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Stock held by all Eligible Investors exercising their Right of First Refusal. Within five (5) days after the expiration of the Initial Refusal Period, the Seller will give written notice to the Company and each Eligible Investor specifying the number of shares of Offered Stock that was subscribed by the Eligible Investors exercising their Rights of First Refusal (the “Confirmation Notice”). The Confirmation Notice shall specify the number of shares to be purchased by the Company and those Eligible Investors who are exercising their Right of First Refusal. It shall also specify the number of shares not purchased, if any, under Sections 3 and 3.2 hereof and list each Participating Investor’s (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) share of any Remaining Shares. This Right of First Refusal shall not apply with respect to Offered Stock sold by Eligible Investors under the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Right of First Refusal. The Award Agreement for an Option, Restricted Shares, RSUs or Unrestricted Shares, may include a provision whereby the Company or its designee may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Participant of the intent to transfer all or any part of the Shares received upon the exercise of the Award. Such right of first refusal shall be subject to the Repurchase Limitation. The Shares also shall be subject to whatever right of first refusal and other limitations that may exist in the Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company.
4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Shares you acquire upon exercise of your Option are subject to any right of first refusal that may be described in the Companys bylaws in effect at such time the Company elects to exercise its right; provided, however, that if there is no right of first refusal described in the Companys bylaws at such time, the right of first refusal described below will apply. The Companys right of first refusal described below will expire on the first date upon which any security of the Company is listed (or approved for listing) upon notice of issuance on a national securities exchange or quotation system (the Listing Date).
11.1Grant of Right of First Refusal. Except as provided in Section11.7 and Section16 below, in the event the Participant, the Participants legal representative, or other holder of shares acquired upon exercise of the Option proposes to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Vested Shares (the Transfer Shares) to any person or entity, including, without limitation, any shareholder of a Participating Company, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section11 (the Right of First Refusal).
11.4Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If the Company determines the proposed transfer to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as the Company and the Participant otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Participant of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30)days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Companys exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Companys right to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Participant or issued by a person other than the Participant with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Participant shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60)days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the present value cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Participant to any Participating Company shall be treated as payment to the Participant in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, the period during which the Company may exercise the Right of First Refusal and consummate the purchase of the Transfer Shares from the Participant shall terminate no sooner than the completion of a period of eight (8)months following the date on which the Participant acquired the Transfer Shares upon exercise of the Option.
11.5Failure to Exercise Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full (or to such lesser extent as the Company and the Participant otherwise agree) within the period specified in Section11.4 above, the Participant may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than ninety (90)days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice or, if applicable, following the end of the period described in the last sentence of Section11.4. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Participant and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Participant with the procedure described in this Section11.
11.7Transfers Not Subject to Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option if such transfer or exchange is in connection with an Ownership Change Event. If the consideration received pursuant to such transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating Company, such consideration shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal unless the provisions of Section11.9 result in a termination of the Right of First Refusal.
11.8Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not there has been an attempted transfer, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
11.9Early Termination of Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this Option Agreement notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a)the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless the Acquiror assumes the Companys rights and obligations under the Option or substitutes a substantially equivalent option for the Acquirors stock for the Option, or (b)the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A public market shall be deemed to exist if (i)such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange Act) or (ii)such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.
(e)Failure to Exercise Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full (or to such lesser extent as the Company and the Participant otherwise agree) within the period specified in Section10(d) above, the Participant may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than ninety (90)days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice or, if applicable, following the end of the period described in the last sentence of Section10(d). The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Participant and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Participant with the procedure described in this Section10.
(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Founder proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Acquired Shares, or any interest in Acquired Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Acquired Shares. If the Founder desires to transfer Acquired Shares, the Founder shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Acquired Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal, State or foreign securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Founder and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Acquired Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Acquired Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b)below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company.
(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Companys outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Acquired Shares subject to this Section2 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Acquired Shares subject to this Section2.
(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section2 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Founder desires to transfer Acquired Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Founder shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a)and (b) above.
(g) Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Board of Directors may freely assign the Companys Right of First Refusal, in whole or in part.

Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 7.

(b) Transfer Restrictions; Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee of Participant (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company shall have the right to approve such transfer, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Holder would like to transfer any Shares, the Holder must provide the Company or its assignee(s) with a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3(b) (the “Right of First Refusal”), which the Company may either (1) exercise its Right of First Refusal and purchase the Shares as forth in this Section 3(b), (2) decline to exercise its Right of First Refusal and permit the transfer of the Shares to the Proposed Transferee (as defined below), or (3) decline to exercise its Right of First Refusal and reject any transfer of the Shares.

If the Transfer Purchase Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Company in good faith.
(a) Transfer Restrictions; Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Purchaser or any transferee of Purchaser (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company shall first, to the extent the Company’s approval is required by the Plan or any applicable Bylaw Provisions, have the right to approve such sale or transfer, in full or in part, and shall then have the right to purchase all or any part of the Shares proposed to be sold or transferred, in each case, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Right of First Refusal”).

No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Participant with the procedure described in this Section.
11.4 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If the Company determines the proposed transfer to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as the Company and the Participant otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Participant of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company.

11.9 Early Termination of Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this Option Agreement notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a)the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless the Acquiror assumes the Company’s rights and obligations under the Option or substitutes a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiror’s stock for the Option, or (b)the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A “public market” shall be deemed to exist if (i)such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange Act) or (ii)such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal or the Canadian Securities Exchange.
(n)Right of First Refusal.

11. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Shares of Common Stock that you acquire upon exercise of your option are subject to any right of first refusal that may be described in the Companys bylaws in effect at such time the Company elects to exercise its right; provided, however, that if there is no right of first refusal described in the Companys bylaws at such time, the right of first refusal described below will apply.
B. Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty(30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s)may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsectionC below.

Except as expressly provided in this Section5(n)or in the Option Agreement, such right of first refusal will otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the LLC Agreement.
10. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Units that you acquire under your Award are subject to any right of first refusal that may be described in the LLC Agreement at such time the Company elects to exercise its right.
