(b) The option referred to under Section 5.09.(a) relates, as the case may be, to a number of Certificates (all such Certificates being the “Offered Certificates”) held by the Selling Holder(s), equal to the number of Certificates held by the Holder (in the case of violation by a Holder) or the pro rata number of Certificates indirectly held by such non-complying Permitted Transferee (in the case of violation by a Permitted Transferee) at the time of the violation of Sections 5.01 or 5.02, irrespective of the circumstances surrounding such non-compliance. As an illustration of such rules, the following example may be given: should the Selling Holder hold 100 Certificates and be the non-compliant Holder, the option referred to under Section 5.09(a) shall relate to such 100 Certificates. Should the non-complying Permitted Transferee indirectly hold a 33% equity or ownership interest in a Holder, in its capacity as direct or indirect owner of Certificates which are directly or indirectly owned by BRC or EPS, the option vis-à-vis the Selling Holder shall only relate to 33% of these 100 Certificates. (c) The option price for each Offered Certificate shall be an amount equal to 80% of the average closing price for a Share on the principal stock exchange on which the Shares are then listed during the thirty (30) business days immediately preceding the last day of the ninety day period referred to above. Unless such violation has been cured in accordance with Section 5.09(a) by the end of such ninety day period with written documentary evidence, the AK Board shall send a notice to each relevant Holder specifying that such call option may be exercised on all or any portion of the Offered Certificates during the 30-day period beginning on the date on which such notice is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 9.06. (d) In order to validly exercise such call option, the Holder(s) of the other Class must deliver to the AK Board, within the 30-day time period referred to above, written notice stating such Holder(s) intention to exercise such call option and specifying the number of Offered Certificates such Holder(s) intend(s) to purchase. Such notice shall be irrevocable. If several Holders validly exercise such option, the number of Offered Certificates available for purchase by each Holder shall be such Holder’s pro rata share of such number of Offered Certificates (based on the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Certificates held by such Holder at such time by the number of Certificates held by all Holders validly exercising such call option at such time and multiplied by 100). (e) Within eight (8) days following the expiration of the 30-day time period referred to above, the AK Board shall notify the Holders as to the number of Offered Certificates that shall be allocated to any Holder for purchase in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph. The Transfer of the Offered Certificates shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of such notices, and the AK Board shall ensure that all applicable Transfer formalities in respect of such Offered Certificates are completed as soon as practicable. The option price of the Offered Certificates shall be paid to the Selling Holder(s) as follows: 20% of this price shall be paid within fifteen (15) days following such Holder’s receipt of notice of the completion of the Transfer formalities with respect to such Offered Certificates, with the balance payable in four (4) equal annual installments of 20% each on the first four anniversaries of the date of the payment of the first installment. The unpaid portion of the purchase price shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1% from the date on which the Holder(s) shall have received notice of the completion of the Transfer formalities with respect to such Offered Certificates.
