performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
assets of Borrower under, any term or provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Borrower or of any contract, commitment,
understanding, arrangement, agreement or restriction of any kind or character to
which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its assets or

Company, the procedures specified in this Section 4.4 shall be complied with.
For a period of fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Registered
Notice, Lender shall have the right, at its sole option, to notify the Borrower
of its election to purchase the Business subject to the Bona Fide Offer.
Acceptance by Lender of the Bona Fide Offer shall be on the same terms and

Borrower of its notice to purchase the Business on the terms and conditions of

consideration, in an amount computed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.5 hereof (the "Acceptance"). If Lender shall not deliver the
Acceptance to the Borrower within the prescribed time period, the Borrower shall
have the right to accept the Bona Fide Offer in whole, but not in part, and to
sell the Business in accordance with the terms thereof, but only in strict
accordance with all of the provisions of the Bona Fide Offer, and only if the
sale is fully consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the
receipt of the Registered Notice by the Lender as provided for in Section 4.2
hereof. In the event such sale is not fully consummated within such one hundred
twenty (120) day period, the provisions of this Agreement must again be complied
with by the Borrower before the Borrower may accept a Bona Fide Offer.
4.5. Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration.
-----------------------------------
a. The fair market value of non-cash consideration in the Bona Fide
Offer consisting of marketable securities shall be paid by Lender based upon the
average closing price for such marketable securities for the twenty (20) trading
days ending on the date immediately prior to the purchase by Lender hereunder.
The Lender, at its option, may pay in cash or in stock of the Lender, based upon
the average closing prices for stock of the Lender for the twenty (20) trading
days ending on the date immediately prior to the purchase by Lender hereunder.
b. The fair market value of non-cash consideration that does not
consist of marketable securities shall be determined on the basis of an
appraisal conducted by an independent, qualified professional appraiser selected
by the Borrower and having at least five (5) years of experience valuing assets
similar to those proposed to be paid in accordance with the Bona Fide Offer (a
"Qualified Appraiser"). If Lender objects to the valuation determined by the
Borrower's chosen Qualified Appraiser, then Lender shall, within fifteen (15)
days of receipt of such determination, obtain a separate written appraisal of
the disputed fair market value by another Qualified Appraiser and shall deliver
to the Company a copy of such second appraisal. If the fair market value
presented by such second appraiser is not less than ninety percent (90%) nor
more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value presented in
the original appraisal, then the fair market value shall equal the average of
the two (2) appraisals. If a greater discrepancy exists between the first and
second appraisals, then the Qualified Appraisers selected by Borrower and the
Lender shall select a third Qualified Appraiser who shall, within thirty (30)
days after selection, deliver to Borrower and the Lender a third written
appraisal of the fair market value of the non-cash consideration and the fair
market value of the non-cash consideration shall equal the average of the two
(2) appraisals which are closest in amount. The cost of the initial appraisal
and, if applicable, the second and third appraisals, shall be paid for one-half
by each of Borrower and the Lender.
