such offer or the average trading price of the common shares of the Corporation for the previous 7 days as reported on the exchange that such common shares are trading. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the offer, the other Shareholders
may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Interest on a proportional basis on the same terms and conditions set forth in the bona fide offer or on the terms set forth in the notice with respect to a sale in the public market,
exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Transferor. 
 (iii) In the event the Shareholders elect to purchase all of
the Offered Interest, the closing of the purchase will take place on the first business day following the end of a period forty-five (45) days after exercise of the Shareholders’ option to purchase by delivery of the last written notice
thereof to the Transferor, or on such other date as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Shareholders do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Interest, the Transferor may transfer the Offered Interest to the transferee named in, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the notice, subject to the limitations of this
Section 4 or in the public market. If the Transferor fails to conclude such sale of the Offered Interest within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the Offered Interest will again become subject to all of the restrictions of this Section 4.

 (b)    No Transfer or assignment pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof shall be effective unless and until
the assignor, upon the reasonable request of the Shareholder, in its discretion, provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to Shareholder, to the effect that the transfer will be
exempt from all
