First Refusal Rights The Company may elect to purchase all (but -------------------- not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to Executive and the Investors within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been delivered to the Company. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, the Investors may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering written notice of such election to Executive within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Investors. If more than one Investor elects to purchase the Executive Stock, the shares of Executive Stock to be sold shall be allocated among the Investors pro rata according to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Investor on a fully-diluted basis. If neither the Company nor the Investors elect to purchase all of the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 60-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 60-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 4(c) upon subsequent transfer. If the Company or any of the Investors have elected to purchase shares of Executive Stock hereunder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to Executive, but in any event within 15 days after the expiration of the Election Period. The Company may pay the purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under the Executive Note issued to the Company hereunder and any other bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company.
Public Offering of the Offered Shares The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the public, initially on the terms set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, their respective portions of the Offered Shares as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.
Repurchase Rights If the Optionee for any reason whatsoever ----------------- (including without limitation death, disability, or voluntary or involuntary termination) ceases to be employed by the Company or Banyan Worldwide, or providing services on behalf of the Company or Banyan Worldwide, prior to the date specified in Section 8(d) below for the expiration of these restrictions, then during the 90-day period following such termination the Company may elect, by written notice delivered to the Optionee, to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares, at a price per share equal to the fair market value of such Shares as of the close of business on the date of termination of the Optionee's employment. Such fair market value shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the Optionee. Failing such agreement between the Optionee and the Company within 30 days of the date of the Company's notice electing to repurchase such Shares, the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by three appraisers, one designated within five days after the termination of said 30-day period by the Optionee or his or her legal representatives (which appraiser shall not be the Optionee or his or her legal representative), one within said period of five days by the Company (which appraiser shall not be an officer, director or employee of the Company) and the third within five days after said appointment last occurring by the two appraisers so chosen. Successor appraisers, if any shall be required, shall be appointed, within a reasonable time, as nearly as may be in the manner provided as to the related original appointment. No appointment shall be deemed as having been accomplished unless such appraiser shall have accepted in writing his appointment as such within the time limited for his appointment. Notice of each appointment of an appraiser shall be given promptly to the other parties in interest. Any expenses relating to the appointment and service of an appraiser shall be paid by the party appointing such appraiser or, in the case of the appraiser appointed by the appraisers chosen by the Company and the Optionee, shall be paid by the Company. Said appraisers shall proceed promptly to determine the fair market value of said Share or Shares by agreement of any two of the appraisers, which shall be conclusive upon all parties in interest in such Shares. Promptly following such determination, the appraisers shall mail or deliver such notice of such determination to the Optionee and the Company.
Repurchase Offers In the event that, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state:
(i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.08 and Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer shall remain open;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in principal amounts of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 only;
(vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;
(vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Xxxxxx is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;
(viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and
(ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes (or portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.08. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company, shall promptly issue a new Note. The Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount at maturity equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.08, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Sale and Purchase of the Securities The Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto, except that, if Schedule I hereto provides for the sale of Securities pursuant to delayed delivery arrangements, the respective principal amounts of Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be as set forth in Schedule II hereto, less the respective amounts of Contract Securities determined as provided below. Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters are herein sometimes called the "Underwriters' Securities" and Securities to be purchased pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts (as hereinafter defined) are herein called "Contract Securities". The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement are several and not joint. If so provided in Schedule I hereto, the Underwriters are authorized to solicit offers to purchase Securities, or a portion thereof, from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts"), substantially in the form of Schedule III hereto but with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or approve, and the Underwriters will endeavor to make such arrangements. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors, including commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds and educational and charitable institutions. The Company will make Delayed Delivery Contracts in all cases where sales of Contract Securities arranged by the Underwriters have been approved by the Company but, except as the Company may otherwise agree, each such Delayed Delivery Contract must be for not less than the minimum principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto and the total principal amount of Contract Securities may not exceed the maximum principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. The principal amount of Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule II hereto shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total principal amount of Contract Securities as the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, except to the extent that the Representatives determine that such reduction shall be otherwise than in such proportion and so advise the Company in writing; provided, however, that the total principal amount of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto less the total principal amount of Contract Securities.
Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if requested by the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering, to enter into a customary letter agreement with such underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder. In addition, this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Holder that is not entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, whether because such Holder delivered an Opt-Out Notice prior to receiving notice of the Underwritten Offering or because such Holder holds less than $15 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities.
