3. Additional Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Transfers of Interests.
(a) General. No Shareholder or any transferee of a Shareholder’s Shares shall directly or indirectly, or by operation of law, sell, assign, exchange, pledge, gift, transfer, or make any other disposition (collectively, “Transfer”) all or any portion of, or any interests or rights in, the Shares owned by the Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) or transferee except as may be expressly permitted by this Agreement.

3.2 Right of First Refusal; Tag Along-Take Along Rights. If at any time a Shareholder (“Selling Shareholder”) desires to Transfer all (but not less than all) of his or her Shares (“Subject Shares”) to a third party pursuant to a bona fide offer to purchase for cash, or cash and notes, and such Transfer would constitute a permitted Transfer in accordance with Section 3.1, the following shall apply:

(b) The Other Shareholders shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Offer to accept the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, as buyer, by giving written notice thereof to the Selling Shareholder. Subject to subsection (c) below, each Other Shareholder shall have the right to purchase a portion of the Subject Shares equal to (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by the Other Shareholder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by all of the Other Shareholders who desire to purchase part of the Subject Shares (on an as converted to common stock basis), or (ii) such other portion as shall be agreed upon by all such Other Shareholders who desire to so purchase;

If the purchase price set forth in the Offer includes any secured notes or third party guarantees, a pledge of the Subject Shares as collateral by the purchasing Other Shareholders shall be deemed equivalent to the collateral described in the Offer;
(d) If the Other Shareholders fail to agree to purchase all of the Subject Shares within the time period set out above, the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to consummate the sale or conveyance of all of the Subject Shares so long as (i) the purchaser is the proposed purchaser named in the Offer, (ii) the price, payment, and other terms are at least as favorable to the Selling Shareholder as those set forth in the Offer, (iii) the closing occurs on or before the date set forth in the Offer (but not more than 120 days after the date of the Offer), (iv) if any Other Shareholder makes any applicable election described in subsection (e) below, the Shares of such Other Shareholder are also purchased by the proposed purchaser, and (v) unless all of the Shares are being sold under subsection (e) below, the purchaser is not a competitor (or Person affiliated or related to a competitor) of the Company (as determined by vote of the Board of Directors, other than the selling Shareholder(s), if a Director or an Affiliate of a Director);
(e) If the Other Shareholders fail to agree to purchase all of the Subject Shares within the time period set out above and the Subject Shares(s) being sold under subsection (d) above constitute at least 50.1% of all of the outstanding Shares, then for a period of 15 days following the expiration of the Offer to the Other Shareholders (i) each Other Shareholder shall have the right to elect to participate in the sale as a seller of all of such Other Shareholder’s Shares along with the sale by the Selling Shareholder(s) for the same consideration per Share and upon the same terms and conditions relating to Shares as the Selling Shareholder(s), and (ii) the Selling Shareholder(s) shall have the right to require all (but not less than all) of the Other Shareholders to participate in the sale as sellers of their Shares along with the sale by the Selling Shareholder(s) for the same consideration per Share and upon the same terms and conditions relating to Shares as the Selling Shareholder(s). Shareholder(s) exercising such right shall give written notice of exercise to Corporation and the other applicable Shareholders by the end of such 15 day period. At the closing, each participating Shareholder shall execute and deliver all documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the transfer of the applicable Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances of any type, other than this Agreement, and each participating Shareholder shall execute such other instruments as may be reasonably required of all participating Shareholders. All employment, consulting, covenant not to compete, and similar payments or to be paid, directly or indirectly, to a Shareholder or its affiliates by the purchaser or its affiliates (and not all Shareholders on a per Share basis) shall be limited to reasonable amounts; and
| 5 |
(f) Any purchaser of the Subject Shares under subsection (d) or (e) above desiring to make a further sale or conveyance of any part of the Subject Shares shall be subject to this Agreement.
3.3 Transferor Remains Liable for Existing Obligations. A Transfer of Shares by a Shareholder shall not relieve the Shareholder of any obligations under this Agreement, the Act, or otherwise imposed by law, arising prior to such Transfer.
3.4 Transfers in Violation of this Agreement. No Shares may be Transferred unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(b) A fully executed and acknowledged written instrument has been delivered to the Directors signed by the transferee agreeing to be bound by this Agreement; and
(c) The Selling Shareholder executes a stock power in form reasonably acceptable to the Directors (excluding any Director that is an Affiliate of the Selling Shareholder).
Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void and have no effect.
