(a) Prior to the Listing Date, you may not validly Transfer (as defined below) any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of your option, or any interest in those shares, unless the Transfer is made in compliance with the following terms:
(i) Before there can be a valid Transfer of any shares of Common Stock or any interest in the shares, the record holder of the shares of Common Stock to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”) will give written notice (by registered or certified mail) to the Company. The notice will specify the identity of the proposed transferee, the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee (or, if the proposed Transfer is one in which the holder will not receive cash, such as an involuntary transfer, gift, donation or pledge, the holder will state that no purchase price is being proposed), and the other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The date the notice is mailed is referred to in this Section as the “Notice Date” and the record holder of the Offered Shares is referred to in this Section as the “Offeror.” If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding Common Stock that is subject to the terms of your option, then in that event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you are entitled by reason of your ownership of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of your option will be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal (as defined below) with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before the event.
(ii) For a period of 30 calendar days after the Notice Date, or a longer period as may be required to avoid the classification of your option as a liability for financial accounting purposes, the Company will have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in Section 11(a)(iii) (the Company’s “Right of First Refusal”). If the proposed Transfer is one involving no payment of a purchase price, the purchase price will be the Fair Market Value of the Offered Shares as determined in good faith by the Board in its discretion. The Company may exercise its Right of First Refusal by mailing (by registered or certified mail) written notice of exercise of its Right of First Refusal to the Offeror prior to the end of said 30 days (including any extension required to avoid classification of the option as a liability for financial accounting purposes).
(iii) The price at which the Company may purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of its Right of First Refusal will be the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee (as set forth in the notice required under Section 11(a)(i)), or the Fair Market Value as determined by the Board in the event no purchase price is involved. To the extent consideration other than cash is offered by the proposed transferee, the Company will not be required to pay any additional amounts to the Offeror other than the cash price offered (or the Fair Market Value, if applicable). The Company’s notice of exercise of its Right of First Refusal will be accompanied by full payment for the Offered Shares and, upon such payment by the Company, the Company will acquire full right, title and interest to all of the Offered Shares.
(iv) If, and only if, the Company does not exercise its Right of First Refusal, the Transfer proposed in the notice given pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) may take place;provided, however, that the Transfer must, in all respects, be exactly as proposed in the Notice except that the Transfer may not take place either before the tenth calendar day after the expiration of the30-day option exercise period or after the 90th calendar day after the expiration of the30-day option exercise period, and if the Transfer has not taken place prior to the 90th day,
