(3) Right of First Refusal. Except as provided in Section 4:
 
(a) General; Purchase by Company. A Class B Stockholder or a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) of Class B Stockholders (individually or collectively as such a group, the “Transferring Stockholder”) may Transfer all or any portion of his or their Shares which the Transferring Stockholder may from time to time hold (the “Offered Shares”) to one or more third parties (the “Transferee”) only if the Transferring Stockholder first gives the Company the right of first refusal as hereinafter provided to purchase the Offered Shares at the price and on terms offered by such Transferee and only during the period hereinafter set forth. Such right of first refusal shall be set forth in a written notice containing the material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer to the Transferee, and the identity of the Transferee (the “Offer Notice”) with a copy of the offer by the Transferee attached thereto, which notice shall be delivered to the Company. Upon request of the Company, the Transferring Stockholder shall provide such other information as reasonably required to establish the bona fide nature of the proposed Transfer. The Company shall have the option for a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Option Period”) to purchase, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Notice, all or any portion of the Offered Shares, by delivering written notice thereof (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferring Stockholder prior to the expiration of the Option Period. If the Company elects to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares, settlement shall be held at the principal office of the Company or at such other mutually agreeable location within thirty (30) days after Transferring Stockholder’s receipt of the Acceptance Notice. If the Transferring Stockholder or an Affiliate of the Transferring Stockholder is a Director, such Person shall not vote or otherwise participate in the Board of Directors’ determination of whether to purchase the Offered Shares.
 
(b) Assignment by Company. If the Company elects not to exercise its right of first refusal and purchase all of the Offered Shares, or if the Company elects to purchase only a portion of the Offered Shares, the Company may, in its sole discretion, assign its right of first refusal to any Person or group of Persons (the “Assignee”) by delivering written notice thereof (the “Assignment Notice”) to the Transferring Stockholder prior to the expiration of the Option Period. Upon delivery of the Assignment Notice by the Company to the Transferring Stockholder, the Assignee shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 3(a) and 3(b) as if the Assignee were the Company; provided, however, that (i) the Assignee’s Option Period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of delivery of the Assignment Notice, (ii) if the Company elected to purchase only a portion of the Offered Shares, the Assignee’s right of first refusal will apply only to the portion of Offered Shares the Company elected not to purchase, and (iii) the Assignee shall not have the option to assign its right of first refusal.
 
 
 
 
(c) Non-Cash or Cash-Equivalent Offers. If the forms of consideration (other than cash or cash-equivalents) offered by the Transferee are such that the Company cannot, despite reasonable efforts, furnish the same form of consideration, then the Company may purchase the Offered Shares for substitute consideration in a cash amount determined by agreement of such parties or by an appraisal of the value of such consideration by an appraiser to be mutually agreed upon. For all purposes of this Agreement, any appraiser called for by this Agreement must be disinterested and experienced in valuing the types of assets which are the subject of the appraisal. If the Company and the Transferring Stockholder are unable to agree on an appraiser, then the Company and the Transferring Stockholder shall each choose an appraiser and the two appraisers so chosen shall choose a third appraiser. Each of the appraisers shall determine a value of the consideration and the average of the two values that are closest to one another shall be the value of the consideration to be paid by the Company. The single appraiser or the three appraisers shall render their determination of value within fifteen (15) days of their appointment. The value of the consideration so determined, if delivered in good faith, is final and shall be binding on the parties. If the parties agree on an appraiser, the cost of appraisal shall be divided between them equally. If three appraisers are chosen, the Company and the Transferring Stockholder shall pay the costs of the appraiser each has chosen and one-half of the costs of the third appraiser. The running of all time periods provided herein shall be tolled until such appraisal is completed and delivered to the Company and the Transferring Stockholder.
 
(d) Sale to Third Party. In the event the Company does not exercise or assign (or the Assignee does not exercise, during the applicable period) its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares or does not purchase the full amount of the Offered Shares within the Offer Period, such shares or portion of such shares, as applicable, may be sold to the Transferee, provided that:
 
(i) Such sale shall be at a price and upon terms no less favorable to the Transferring Stockholder than those contained in the Offer Notice;
 
(ii) Such sale shall be closed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the postmark or delivery date of the Offer Notice; otherwise, the Transferring Stockholder may not subsequently sell, dispose of or otherwise Transfer the Offered Shares without again complying with the provisions of this Section 3 in full;
 
(iii) The Transferring Stockholder shall make available an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company evidencing the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and applicable state securities laws for the Transfer; and
 
(iv) The Transferee(s) shall execute an Instrument of Joinder in the Form of Exhibit A hereto.
 
(e) Multiple Kinds of Shares. For the purpose of this Section 3 and Section 4 below, inasmuch as Shares may consist of securities, options, convertible instruments, warrants and rights, (i) all Shares shall be deemed exercised or converted into shares of common stock and (ii) any unpaid conversion or exercise price shall be treated as a deduction to any amount due the holder of such Shares.

A Transfer proposed to be made pursuant to a divorce or separation proceeding or settlement shall be subject to Sections 3(a) through (d). “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother or sister of the Transferring Stockholder, including “in-laws” and adopted children. In the case of the death of a Class B Stockholder exercising his rights under this Section 4, the personal representative of such Class B Stockholder shall be authorized to exercise, on behalf of such Class B Stockholder, such Class B Stockholder's right to make a Transfer described in the first sentence of this Section 4(b), provided that such personal representative delivers to the Company written notice, within thirty (30) days after the date of such Class B Stockholder's death or the qualification of such personal representative if later, of its intent to Transfer such Class B Stockholder's Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b), which notice shall identify the Transferee or Transferees of such Shares and whether or not the Transfer is effected pursuant to the terms of such Class B Stockholder's will or a trust or by virtue of intestate succession.
