(H) In the event that the Transferring Shares are to be transferred to two or more Purchasing Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, and one of those Purchasing Shareholders fails to complete the purchase of the Shares that it is required to purchase under this clause, then within ten (10) Business Days of the said failure to complete:

(1) the Attorney(s) will offer those Shares which are the subject of the said failure to complete ("the Leftover Shares") to the other Purchasing Shareholders, at the Default Share Price, in such proportions as agreed between the Purchasing Shareholders and the Attorney(s); or

(2) in the event that the Purchasing Shareholders and Attorney(s) cannot reach an agreement under the preceding sub-clause hereof, then the Attorney(s) will offer the Leftover Shares to the other Purchasing Shareholders, at the Default Share Price, in the Share Proportions.

(I) In the event that the Attorney(s) make an offer to sell the Leftover Shares under the preceding sub-clauses hereof, then the Purchasing Shareholders will have a further ten (10) Business Days, from the date of the said offer to sell the Leftover Shares, to accept the said offer ("the Offer Period").

(4) in the alternative, the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder may sell the Leftover Shares to any other person or entity, for no less than the Default Share Price, within one (1) month of the expiration of the Offer Period.

(K) Notwithstanding the preceding sub-clauses hereof, in the event that:

(1) the Attorney(s) (on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder), acting in good faith, follow the procedures set out in this clause in order to offer the Transferring Shares to the other Shareholders; and

(2) no agreement is reached between the Attorney(s) (on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder) and any other Shareholder within the time periods set out in this clause (through no fault of the Attorney(s) or of the Defaulting Shareholder);

then the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder may, within three (3) months of the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice, sell the Shares to any other person or entity, for no less than the Default Share Price.

(L) Any transfer of Shares under this clause must be an unencumbered transfer of Shares, unless otherwise expressly agreed between the parties to that said transfer.

(O) In the event that the Attorney(s) follow the procedures set out in this clause, but the Defaulting Shareholder remains the owner of some or all of the Shares in the Company on the date which is three (3) months after the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice ("the End Date"), then:

(1) the Company may, within one (1) month of the End Date, buy back some or all of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares, at the Default Share Price ("Buy Back"); and

(2) in the event that a Buy Back occurs in relation to some or all of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares under the preceding sub-clause hereof, the Company must notify all of the Shareholders ("Notification"), within ten (10) Business Days of the End Date, how many Shares the Company is buying back; and
