If the Equity Committee determines that the acts or conduct are not curable, or the Shareholder does not provide proof that curable acts or conduct have been cured, then the determination that the Shareholder engaged in acts or conduct detrimental to the Company shall be final and binding.

(b) The Company shall have the right to purchase, and in the event the Company elects to purchase, the Shareholder shall sell to the Company, all of the Shareholder's Shares, if the Company determines that any one or more of the following past or present acts or events have occurred: (1) the Shareholder engages or has engaged in behavior that is disruptive to the Company, or (2) the Shareholder interferes with (or has interfered with) or engages in conduct that interferes with (or has interfered with) the efficient operation of the Company or any office of the Company, or (3) the Shareholder engages or has engaged in acts or conduct that are injurious to or otherwise harm the Company or any office of the Company, or (4) the Shareholder breaches or has breached any agreement with the Company, or (5) the Shareholder engages or has engaged in conduct or acts detrimental to the Company, or (6) the Shareholder becomes or became affiliated with a competitor, or develops, or make a contribution to, a competing enterprise, (7) the Shareholder discloses or has disclosed confidential Company information to a third party, or (8) the Shareholder is or was convicted of a felony or other crime involving fraud, dishonesty or acts of moral turpitude. If the Company determines that any one or more of the foregoing acts or events has occurred, the Shareholder may appeal such determination to the Equity Committee within ten days of receipt of written notice of such determination from the Company. The Equity Committee shall have 30 days to either confirm or overturn the Company's determination. If the Equity Committee confirms the Company's determination, the Equity Committee shall also determine if the Shareholder's acts or conduct are curable by the Shareholder. If the Equity Committee determines that the Shareholder's acts or conduct are curable, then the Shareholder shall be given thirty (30) days following notice of the Equity Committee's decision to cure such acts or conduct, and an additional ten (10) days to provide proof of such cure acceptable to the Equity Committee. If the Equity Committee determines that the acts or conduct are not curable, or the Shareholder does not provide proof that curable acts or conduct have been cured, then the determination that the Shareholder engaged in acts or conduct detrimental to the Company shall be final and binding. Shareholder acknowledges that the Company's purchase right under this subsection 7(b) may be financially disadvantageous to the Shareholder if, at the time of the purchase, there is a large differential between the Value (as that term is defined herein) of the Shares to be purchased and the then market value of such shares.

No Company Call shall be for a number of Shareholder's Shares greater than ten percent (10%) of the Shares for which Sales are not yet permissible under Section 5 hereof. The Equity Committee shall make its determination under this Section 7(c) based upon the Equity Committee's assessment of market conditions for the Company's common stock and the Company's recent financial performance. Any Company Call shall be made on a pro rata basis among the shareholders with whom the Company has entered into agreements similar to this Agreement. Provided, however, this Section 7 does not apply to Shares released for sale under Section 5 herein.
