(i)  Interpretation. Whenever the term “include” or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall mean “including, without limitation,” (whether or not such language is specifically set forth) and shall not be deemed to limit the range of possibilities to those items specifically enumerated. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision. Terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa.

Buyer shall first give written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to Seller that Buyer desires to sell the Purchased Assets. The Seller hereunder shall have thirty (30) days following the receipt of said Transfer Notice from Buyer to exercise, in full, the Right of First Refusal. If the Seller exercises the Right of First Refusal, the parties hereto shall consummate the repurchase of the Purchased Assets on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to the Seller.
