(B) Market Sale Transaction. In the event the Selling Stockholder decides to initiate a Market Sale Transaction, he shall give to the Company a Stockholder Sale Notice prior to commencing such Market Sale Transaction setting forth the number of Offered Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Stockholder.

(ii) Purchase Option—Bona Fide Offer. Upon receipt of the Stockholder Sale Notice in connection with a Bona Fide Offer, the Company shall then have the right and option (the "Purchase Option"), for a period ending ten (10) Business Days following its receipt thereof (the "Company Exercise Period"), to elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares. If the Company desires to exercise its Purchase Option, the Company shall, within the Company Exercise Period, deliver to the Selling Stockholder a written notice (the "Exercise Notice") so informing the Selling Stockholder, and at the time the Exercise Notice is received by the Selling Stockholder a binding agreement shall arise between the Selling Stockholder and the Company concerning the sale of all of the Offered Shares at the price and upon the terms provided in the Stockholder Sale Notice.

(iii) Purchase Option—Market Sale Transaction. Upon receipt of the Stockholder Sale Notice in connection with a Market Sale Transaction, the Company shall then have the Purchase Option, during the Company Exercise Period, to elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares. If the Company desires to exercise its Purchase Option, the Company shall, within the Company Exercise Period, deliver to the Selling Stockholder an Exercise Notice so informing the Selling Stockholder, and at the time the Exercise Notice is received by the Selling Stockholder a binding agreement shall arise between the Selling Stockholder and the Company concerning the sale of such Shares at the Market Sale Transaction Purchase Price (as defined in Section 3.3 below).

(b) Purchase Option—Stockholders.

(B) Market Sale Transaction. If, in connection with a Market Sale Transaction, the Company has (x) not elected to exercise the Purchase Option as to any of the Offered Shares or (y) elected to exercise the Purchase Option with respect to a portion of the Offered Shares, then the Company shall give to all of the Stockholders (including the Selling Stockholder) a Company Notice informing the Stockholders of (x) its decision not to exercise the Purchase Option as to any of the Offered Shares or (y) the number of Offered Shares the Company elects to purchase.

(ii) Purchase Option—Bona Fide Offer.

(A) If the conditions prescribed in Sections 3.1(a)(i)(A), 3.1(a)(ii) and 3.1(b)(i)(A) hereof have been met in connection with the proposed sale of the Offered Shares by the Selling Stockholder and the Company has not elected to exercise the Purchase Option as to all of the Offered Shares, the Stockholders (other than the Selling Stockholder), pro rata in accordance with their ownership of Shares, shall then have a Purchase Option, during the ten (10) Business Day period immediately following the final Business Day of the Company Exercise Period (the "Stockholder Exercise Period"), to elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares. If all of the Stockholders (other than the Selling Stockholder) do not exercise their Purchase Option as to the entire amount of the Offered Shares, then the Stockholders electing to purchase shall have the right, pro rata in accordance with their ownership of Shares, to elect to purchase the remaining portion of the Offered Shares available. The Stockholders so exercising their Purchase Option shall, within the Stockholder Exercise Period, deliver to the Selling Stockholder an Exercise Notice so informing the Selling Stockholder, and at the time the Exercise Notice is received by the Selling Stockholder a binding agreement shall arise between the Selling Stockholder and the electing Stockholders concerning the sale of all of the Offered Shares at the price and upon the terms provided in the Stockholder Sale Notice.

Any such transfer of the Offered Shares must be effected within ten (10) Business Days immediately following the final Business Day of the Stockholder Exercise Period.

(iii) Purchase Option—Market Sale Transaction.

(A) If the conditions prescribed in Sections 3.1(a)(i)(B), 3.1(a)(iii) and 3.1(b)(i)(B) hereof have been met in connection with the proposed sale of the Offered Shares by the Selling Stockholder and the Company has (x) not elected to exercise the Purchase Option

as to any of the Offered Shares or (y) elected to exercise the Purchase Option with respect to a portion of the Offered Shares, the Stockholders (other than the Selling Stockholder), pro rata in accordance with their ownership of Shares, shall then have a Purchase Option, during the Stockholder Exercise Period, to elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Company. If all of the Stockholders do not exercise their Purchase Option as to the entire remaining portion of the Offered Shares, then the Stockholders electing to purchase shall have the right, pro rata in accordance with their ownership of Shares, to elect to purchase the remaining portion of the Offered Shares available. The Stockholders so exercising their Purchase Option shall, within the Stockholder Exercise Period, deliver to the Selling Stockholder an Exercise Notice so informing the Selling Stockholder, and at the time the Exercise Notice is received by the Selling Stockholder a binding agreement shall arise between the Selling Stockholder and the electing Stockholders concerning the sale of such Shares at the Market Sale Purchase Price (but only with respect to the Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Company).

3.2. Consideration Other Than Money. For purposes hereof, in the event any consideration offered for the Offered Shares in the Bona Fide Offer consists of rights, interests or property other than money, the fair market value of such consideration in monetary terms shall be a cash amount equal to the Market Sale Transaction Purchase Price as determined in accordance with terms of Section 3.3 below.

3.3. Market Sale Transaction Purchase Price. When any option to purchase Shares arises under this ARTICLE III in connection with a Market Sale Transaction, the cash purchase price for such Shares (the "Market Sale Transaction Purchase Price") shall be the fair market value of the shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, determined as follows:

(a) First, if the Company's Class A Common Stock is listed on any national securities association or national securities exchange (including, without limitation, The NASDAQ SmallCap Market), then the fair market value per share of Class A Common Stock shall be the average closing sales price for such shares of Class A Common Stock as quoted on such association or exchange for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Stockholder Sales Notice, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or a similar publication or on the NASDAQ website; or

Period or, with respect to a sale to be made pursuant to a Bona Fide Offer, at such later date as is specified in the Stockholder Sale Notice. At the closing, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and/or the purchasing Stockholders, certificates representing the Offered Shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers with the signature of the Selling Stockholder guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company or registered broker-dealer, and the Company and/or the purchasing Stockholders shall deliver to the Selling Stockholder the purchase price to be paid as herein provided. The transfer of title to the Offered Shares at the closing shall be made without representation or warranty by the Selling Stockholder, except as to his good and marketable title to the Offered Shares and the absence of any liens, security interests or adverse claims of any kind arising by, through or under him.
