To the extent that any Restricted Shares are vested solely as a result of the Employee's termination of employment pursuant to the foregoing, such shares shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company with respect to all (but not less than all) of such shares in the event the Employee proposes to sell or otherwise transfer such shares to any other person. The Employee shall notify the Company prior to any such transfer (and in the absence of such prior notice any such transfer shall be void). The Company's right of repurchase shall be exercisable with respect to such shares within the thirty (30) day period following the date the Employee gives notice to the Company of the proposed transfer. The purchase price of the shares repurchased by the Company hereunder shall be "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the Plan). If the Company exercises its right of first refusal, the sale shall be consummated within five (5) days of the date the Company elects to exercise its right.
