SM Energy shall be entitled to all proceeds paid by a Person exercising a Preferential Right prior to the Closing. If, after Closing (1) such holder of such Preferential Right thereafter fails to consummate the purchase of the portion of the Assets covered by such Preferential Right or (2) the time for exercising such Preferential Right expires without exercise by the holder thereof, then SM Energy shall (x) so notify Buyer and (y) on or before 10 days following delivery of such notice, assign such portion of the Assets to Buyer pursuant to an assignment in substantially the form of the Assignment and the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the such portion of the Assets.

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.
