Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 hereof, Company may exercise Company's Call and purchase from Buyer, and Buyer agrees to sell to Company, all or any portion of the Shares, which amount of Shares that the Company is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Company's Call shall be calculated by (i) dividing the amount of Shares purchased by buyer by thirty-nine (39), and (ii) multiplying the sum of this Section 2(i) by the number of full months remaining until the Note matures (the "Call Amount").
