C. Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Stock purchased by the Company exercising its Right of First Refusal will be made within ten (10) days after the end of the Company Confirmation Notice Period.

forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Stock to be surrendered for Transfer to the Company.

E. Seller’s Right To Transfer. If the Company has not elected to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Stock, then, with respect to that portion of Offered Stock that will not be purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Right of First Refusal shall not apply to such Transfer, and the Sellers may Transfer such portion of the Offered Stock, which the Company has not elected to purchase to any person named as a purchaser or other Transferee in the IAO Common Stock Transfer Notice, at the Offered Price or at a higher price; provided further that such Transfer (i) is consummated within 60 days after the end of the Company Confirmation Notice Period, (ii) is on terms no more favorable than the terms proposed in the IAO Common Stock Transfer Notice, and (iii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement.
