  8.1.1 The offer shall be in writing and specify the number of shares for sale or transfer, the name of the individual or corporation to which the shareholder wishes to sell or transfer the offered shares to, the amount requested for the offered shares, terms of payment, and all other relevant information (hereinafter in this section – the “Offer”).

 

  8.1.2 The Offer shall be sent to all Offerees, to their addresses registered in the Company’s register.

 

  8.1.3 A copy of every offer sent to the Offerees, as aforesaid, shall also be sent by the Offeror to the Company’s main office.

  8.1.4 Within 21 days from the day the Offer is received (hereinafter – “Right of Refusal Period”), as aforesaid, the Offerees (each one) shall have the right to purchase all the offered shares. The right of refusal pursuant to this section shall be exercised via delivery of unconditional written notice by the Offerees, to be delivered to the Offeror and the Company prior to the conclusion of the period of time designated for it (hereinafter in this section – “Acceptance Notice”).

 

  8.1.5 The shares and/or offered rights, as provided in the Offer, shall be transferred and sold within 5 business days from the conclusion of the aforesaid 21-day period to every Offeree who submitted an Acceptance Notice, under the terms of the Offer and against the consideration payment set forth in the Offer.

 

  8.1.6 If more than one of the Offerees notifies of his desire to purchase the offered shares, then the members who submitted notices as aforesaid and ordered the offered shares shall be entitled to purchase offered shares relative to their holding rate of the Company’s shares at that time under the terms of the Offer and against the consideration payment set forth in the Offer.

 

  8.1.7 In the event that all the Offerees provide notice of their refusal to purchase the offered shares, or fail to respond at all and/or fail to transfer funds for the offered shares, on the dates set forth in this Article 8.1, they shall be deemed to have refused to purchase the offered shares. Should only a portion of the Offerees submit an Acceptance Notice regarding only a portion of the offered shares, then those members exercising their rights shall be entitled to purchase the surplus offered shares within 7 additional days in accordance with a distribution among them as agreed by them, and in the absence of an agreement, a distribution reflecting their percentage holdings of the Company’s shares at the time.

 

  8.1.8 In the event that the members fail to exercise their right to purchase all of the offered shares, as aforesaid, the Offeror shall be entitled (subject to the aforesaid in the Articles hereunder), to transfer all the offered shares to the person specified in his Offer, under terms specified in his Offer, and this during an additional 30 days from the conclusion of the Right of Refusal Period provided to the members.

  8.2 Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the transfer of Company shares requires an approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to refuse registration of the transfer of shares to the name of a proposed purchaser, who is not a company shareholder at such time only due to reasonable and substantial reasons that shall be specified in a notice of refusal, and which existence could substantially damage the Company’s business, as exemplified in the last paragraph of this subsection 8.2.

In the event the Board of Directors and the Company receive an Offer of the offering shareholder, the Board of Directors shall be obligated to notify of its refusal to register the transfer of shares to the proposed purchaser within 21 days of receipt of the Offer of the offering shareholder.

  8.4 Each of the shareholders that transfers Company shares to another and/or to others guarantees that the purchaser or the transferee shall assume his rights (attached to the transferred shares) and the obligations of the transferring shareholder towards the Company and the remaining Company shareholders at such time, including his obligations in accordance with these Articles, including, but without limitation, his obligations according to this chapter.
