If any other investor who has a comparable right of participation fails to accept the Company's offer as to the full number of securities offered to him or it, the Investors who have so accepted may within the following ten-day period purchase the unaccepted securities, with such participation by such Investors being in proportion to their beneficial equity ownerships in the Company. The Company shall thereafter be free at any time prior to ninety days after the date of its notice of offer to the Investors to offer and sell to any third party the remainder of such securities proposed to be issued by the Company at a price and on payment terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in such notice of offer to the Investors.

The Company shall then have a period of fifteen days to determine whether to purchase all of the Investor's Preferred Shares upon the terms and conditions contained in the offer to purchase. If the Company elects to purchase all of the Investor's Preferred Shares, it shall consummate the transaction as if it were the offeror, but in no event shall the closing date be earlier than thirty days following the date of the Company's notification to the Investor of its determination to purchase the Investor's Preferred Shares. If the Company fails to exercise its right of first refusal within such fifteen-day period, the other Investors shall receive the foregoing Investor notice and shall then have a period of ten days to elect to purchase all of such Preferred Shares upon such terms and conditions, with such purchase by such other Investors being in proportion to their beneficial equity ownerships in the Company and with consummation of such purchases within fifteen days following the date of the other Investors' notification of their election to purchase. If the other Investors fail to give notice of their exercise of their right of first refusal within such ten-day period, the transferring, the Investor shall be free to transfer his or its Preferred Shares, but only in accordance with the offer. The Investors shall not otherwise transfer his or its Preferred Shares for value without complying with the provisions of this Section 9.
