(c) Right of First Refusal.
Other than Transfers permitted under Section 4.1 (b), or pursuant to Article V with respect to a Sale of the Company or a Tag-Along Sale, any Stockholder desiring to Transfer all or any portion of its Stock (a “Transferring Stockholder”) to a ready, willing and able Transferee must first offer to Transfer such Stock (the “Subject Stock”) to the other Stockholders (the “Non-Transferring Stockholders”) as a group. Such offer will be made by an irrevocable written offer (the” Transfer Offer Notice”) to Transfer all of the Subject Stock and will contain a complete description of the transaction in which the Transferring Stockholder proposes to Transfer the Subject Stock, including the name of the proposed Transferee (including any significant beneficial owners thereof) and the consideration specified. The Non-Transferring Stockholders will have thirty (30) days (the “Transfer Offer Period’’) after actual receipt of the Transfer Offer Notice within which to advise the Transferring Stockholder whether or not they will acquire their pro rata portion of the Subject Stock upon the terms and conditions contained in the Transfer Offer Notice. If, within the Transfer Offer Period, one or more Non-Transferring Stockholders elects to acquire the Subject Stock, then such Non-Transferring Stockholder or Stockholders will close such transaction no later than the later to occur of (A) the closing date set forth in the Transfer Offer Notice or (B) sixty (60) days after the last day of the Transfer Offer Period.

The right herein created in favor of the Non-Transferring Stockholders as a group is an option to acquire all, or none, of the Subject Stock (but shall not entitle the Non-Transferring Stockholders to acquire some portion of the Subject Stock less than all). If the Non-Transferring Stockholders as a group decline to acquire all of the Subject Stock in accordance with this Section, the Transferring Stockholder may Transfer such Subject Stock, no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Transfer Offer Period, to the Transferee named in the Transfer Offer Notice upon the terms described in such Transfer Offer Notice. lf such Transfer does not timely occur in accordance with the terms of such Transfer Offer Notice, the Transferring Stockholder and the Subject Stock will again be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1 (c).

4.5 Duration of Article IV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article IV shall terminate upon the consummation of a Public Offering or Sale of the Company.
4.6 Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, no Transfer of Stock shall be permitted if, in the opinion of the Board, such Transfer or admission alone or in conjunction with one or more other transfers or admissions would: (a) result in a violation of applicable securities laws; (b) be an event that would constitute a violation or breach (or, with the giving of notice or passage of time, would constitute a violation or breach) of any law, regulation, ordinance, agreement or instrument by which the Company, or any of its properties or assets, is bound; or (c) require the Company to register under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
