Such supplemental Purchase Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this Section 3 to any Person.

(c) The Board may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Shares by delivering written notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) to the holder or holders of the Unvested Shares within ninety (90) days after the Separation. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Shares to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Unvested Shares and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Unvested Shares held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Repurchase Notice. If the number of Unvested Shares then held by Executive is less than the total number of Unvested Shares which the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Unvested Shares elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Unvested Shares under this Agreement, pro rata according to the number of Unvested Shares held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). The number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the other holders of Unvested Shares (if any) pro rata according to the number of Unvested Shares to be purchased from such Person.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.
