  Section 9.01 Transfer to Others. Any Shareholder desiring to dispose of some or all of its Shares may do so only pursuant to a bona fide offer to purchase (the “Offer”) and after compliance with the following provisions. Such Shareholder (the “Offering Shareholder”) shall first give written notice to the Company and the other Shareholders (the “Continuing Shareholders”) of its intention to dispose of its Shares, identifying the number of Shares it desires to dispose of, the proposed purchase price per Share and the name of the proposed purchaser and attaching an exact copy of the Offer received by such Shareholder.
   
  (a) The Company's Right to Purchase. The Company shall have the exclusive right to purchase all of the Shares which the Offering Shareholder proposes to sell at the proposed purchase price per Share. The Company shall exercise this right to purchase by giving written notice to the Offering Shareholder with a copy thereof to each of the Continuing Shareholders within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from the Offering Shareholder (the “30 Day Period”) that the Company elects to purchase the Shares subject to the Offer and setting forth a date and time for closing which shall be not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such notice from the Company. At the time of closing, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver to the Company certificates representing the Shares to be sold, together with stock powers duly endorsed in blank. The Shares shall be delivered by the Offering Shareholder free of any and all liens and encumbrances. All transfer taxes and documentary stamps shall be paid by the Offering Shareholder.
   
  (b) The Continuing Shareholders Right to Purchase. If the Company fails to exercise its right to purchase pursuant toSection 9.01(a)above, the Continuing Shareholders shall have the right for an additional period of thirty (30) days (the “Additional 30 Day Period”) commencing at the expiration of the 30 Day Period to purchase the Shares which the Offering Shareholder proposes to sell at the proposed purchase price per Share. The Continuing Shareholders shall exercise this right to purchase by giving written notice to the Offering Shareholder prior to the expiration of the Additional 30 Day Period that they elect to purchase its Shares and setting forth a date and time for closing which shall be not later than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Additional 30 Day Period. Any purchase of Shares by all or some of the Continuing Shareholders shall be made in such proportion as they might agree among themselves or, in the absence of any such agreement, pro rata in proportion to their ownership of Shares of the Company (excluding the Offering Shareholder's Shares) at the time of such offer, but in any event one or more of the Continuing Shareholders must agree to purchase all the Shares which the Offering Shareholder proposes to sell. At the time of closing, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver to buyer certificates representing the Shares to be sold, together with stock powers duly endorsed in blank. Said Shares shall be delivered by the Offering Shareholder free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances. All transfer taxes and documentary stamps shall be paid by the Offering Shareholder.

  Section 9.02 Right of First Refusal
   
  (a) Except in the case of Excluded Securities (as defined below), the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any: (i) shares of Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company which is convertible into Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company; (ii) any debt security of the Company which is convertible into Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company; or (iii) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any equity security or any such debt security of the Company, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell to each Shareholder, pro rata in proportion to such Shareholder's then ownership of Shares of the Company, such securities (the “Offered Securities”) (and to sell thereto such Offered Securities not subscribed for by the other Shareholders as hereinafter provided), at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to such Shareholder (the “Stock Offer”), which Stock Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of ten days (subject to extension pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.02(b) below) from the date it is delivered by the Company to the Shareholder.

If any Shareholder shall subscribe for less than its pro rata share of the Offered Securities to be sold, the other subscribing Shareholders shall be entitled to purchase the balance of that Shareholder's pro rata share in the same proportion in which they were entitled to purchase the Offered Securities in the first instance (excluding for such purposes such Shareholder), provided any such other Shareholder elected by a Notice of Acceptance to purchase all of its pro rata share of the Offered Securities. The Company shall notify each Shareholder within five days following the expiration of the ten day period described above of the amount of Offered Securities which each Shareholder may purchase pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and each Shareholder shall then have ten days from the delivery of such notice to indicate such additional amount, if any, that such Shareholder wishes to purchase.

Upon the closing, which shall include full payment to the Company, of the sale to such other person or persons of all the Refused Securities, the Shareholders shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell to the Shareholders the Offered Securities in respect of which Notices of Acceptance were delivered to the Company by the Shareholders, at the terms specified in the Stock Offer.
   
  (d) The rights of the Shareholders under this Section 9.02 shall not apply to the following securities (the “Excluded Securities”):
   
  (i) Common Stock issued as a stock dividend or upon any stock split or other subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock;
