c. If more than one of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to purchase Shares offered by ▇▇▇▇, each of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to purchase the number of Shares he would have been entitled to receive if the Shares had been distributed to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ descendants, per stirpes, unless such descendants agree otherwise.

e. The sales price offered to any of the above parties may be negotiated between ▇▇▇▇ and the purchasing party prior to expiration of the offer. If such a price is not specifically negotiated, the sales price shall be the closing market price of the Shares on the day the offer is extended.
f. Closing of the sale shall be completed within one week of accepting Cory’s offer to sell.
▇. ▇▇▇▇ agrees that a Sales Window may interfere with the schedule outlined above, but a Sales Window shall be respected nonetheless.
