The other Parties may match the contribution for equal value and have ninety days in which to make the corresponding equity contribution. Should the other shareholder not match the equity contribution within the prescribed ninety day period, the Parties will have to negotiate a share price based on the then current value of the shares as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as and when the Party deems it appropriate to purchase such shares. As a proviso to this Section C, ESPRE cannot invest in the Corporation whilst ever any principal or interest is due to Knight under the Promissory Note Dated April 30, 2007, attached herein as Attachment A — Promissory Note. | |

It is understood and agreed that liability of the selling Shareholder shall be limited to such proportion as is equivalent to his proportionate share or interest in the Corporation prior to closing. The seller shall be entitled to prompt notification by the Corporation of any and all notices of claims and shall have the right, at his sole cost and expense, to participate in any proceeding, legal or otherwise, with respect to such claim or liability. The indemnification provided for herein shall be a continuing one and shall survive closing. | |
| G. | Action In Violation Of This Agreement.

2
| manner, the Corporation and the Shareholder shall, upon actual notice thereof, in addition to their rights and remedies under this Agreement, be entitled to purchase such shares from the transferee thereof, under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement as if the transferee had offered to sell such shares, but in no event shall the purchase price exceed the amount paid for the said shares by the transferee if such shares were acquired by the transferee for consideration. The Corporation may, at its option, refuse to transfer on its books and records any shares transferred in violation of this Agreement. | ||
| Any Shareholder who shall petition any Court for the dissolution of the Corporation, other than pursuant to the specific right to cause the Corporation to be liquidated and dissolved as provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed to have offered his shares for sale under the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement. | ||
| H. | Illegality. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by the arbitrators or any Court having jurisdiction, to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue in full force and effect as though such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions were not originally a part hereof. | |
| I. | Termination. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for as long as two or more of the Parties remain Shareholders of the Corporation, or until the adjudication of the Corporation as a bankrupt or until the dissolution of the Corporation. | |
| J. | Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested to the respective addresses of the parties as contained in this Agreement or in the records of the Corporation. |
