Such Right of First Refusal shall be exercised by delivery to the Purchaser by the Company or its designee, of a written election to exercise such Right of First Refusal, specifying that Shares will be purchased by the Company or its designee (as the case may be).

 

6.3    Closing for Purchase of Shares. In the event the Company elects to acquire Shares of the Purchaser as specified in the Transfer Notice, the Secretary of the Company shall so notify the Purchaser and settlement thereof shall be made in cash within forty-five (45) days after the Secretary of the Company receives the Transfer Notice, provided that if the terms of payment set forth in the Transfer Notice were other than cash against delivery, the Company shall pay for said Shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.

The transferee will hold all Shares transferred hereunder subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.6    Assignment of Rights. The Company may assign its rights under this Section 6 to one or more persons or entities, who shall have the right to so exercise such rights in his or its own name and for his or its own account.

6.10    Prior Agreement of Transferees to Hold Shares Subject to Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of any Shares shall be effective unless the intended transferee shall have agreed, in advance and in a writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to take such Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or a similar agreement to be entered into by and between such transferee and the Company), including without limitation the provisions regarding the Company’s right of first refusal, in the same manner and to the same extent as would have governed such Shares if still held by Purchaser.
