Contractual Right to Sell. (a) From the Effective Date until the later to occur of December 31, 2013 and six (6) months following the Effective Date (the “Sale Period”), the Investor shall have the non-transferable right to sell to Athens (the “Sale Right”), and Athens shall be obligated to purchase, subject to applicable MGCB approval, if any, all Company Securities held by the Investor on the date hereof, pursuant to and on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.1. In the event that Investor elects to exercise the Sale Right, the Investor shall deliver to Athens a written notice (a “Sale Right Exercise Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Annex 1 specifying a closing date for the purchase and sale of the Company Securities held by the Investor, which date shall be on or before the last day of the Sale Period (a “Sale Right Closing Date”). (b) The purchase price for each of the Company Securities shall be an amount equal to the Sale Price. (c) On the applicable Sale Right Closing Date, the Investor shall deliver to Athens (i) the Company Securities being sold, free and clear of any lien, claim, or encumbrance, (ii) such instruments of transfer and other documents, including evidence of ownership and authority, as Athens may reasonably request, and (iii) a reaffirmation of the release, waivers, representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1, including as to all matters arising up to and including the time of consummation of the sale, effective as of the Sale Right Closing Date. Concurrently with the deliveries by the Investor described in the preceding sentence, Athens shall pay to such holders the Sale Price. Closing costs and all other charges (except for payment of gains taxes, which shall be payable solely by the selling holder) involved in closing the sale shall be divided pro rata between the Investor, on the one hand, and Athens, on the other (except each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees). (d) The Investor shall be prohibited from exercising the Sale Right granted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) if, prior to exercising the Sale Right, it, or any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, has asserted any Claims against Athens or the Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, principals, members, partners or officers.
