Acceptance”) exercising such right within

Value of the aggregate proposed purchase price for the Offered
Securities does not exceed the Threshold, three weeks after
delivery to Agfa of a Notice relating to such Offered
Securities;
provided that, in either case, OIS and Agfa shall
cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to enable Agfa, and Agfa
shall use its reasonable efforts, to either exercise its right of
first refusal, or inform OIS that it will waive such right, as
promptly as practicable after delivery by OIS of a
Notice.
Section 2.02
Threshold . Agfa
represents to OIS that, as of the date of this Agreement, the
Threshold is €5 million. Agfa shall promptly inform OIS of any
change in the Threshold, and OIS shall forward notice of such
change to each Principal MV Shareholder.

principal business is primarily focused in the ophthalmic
arena.
Section 2.04
Effect of Election . If
Agfa gives a ROFR Acceptance in response to any Notice, Agfa shall
be irrevocably obligated to purchase, and, subject to Article III,
OIS shall be irrevocably obligated to issue and sell to Agfa, the
Offered Securities, at the aggregate purchase price and on the
other terms, set forth in the Notice, except as provided
herein.
Section 2.05
Payment of or in Lieu of Non-Cash
Consideration . If the consideration
offered by an Offeror for the Offered Securities consists of
Non-Cash Consideration, Agfa, if it gives an ROFR Acceptance, may
elect in the ROFR Acceptance to either:
(a) provide
comparable Non-Cash Consideration (“Agfa Non-Cash
Consideration”), provided that Agfa certifies in the ROFR
Acceptance that it can so provide the Agfa Non-Cash Consideration,
with reasonably detailed specifications, sources, or means of
providing the same, and OIS reasonably agrees that the Agfa
Non-Cash Consideration is comparable to the Non-Cash Consideration
offered by the Offeror; provided, however, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if OIS and Agfa are in
disagreement as to whether the Agfa Non-Cash Consideration is
comparable to the Non-Cash Consideration offered by the Offeror,
and an agreement cannot be reached within three weeks after
delivery of the ROFR Acceptance, such determination shall be made
by an independent third party evaluator selected byOIS, and the
fees, expenses, and costs of such third party evaluator shall be
borne equally by OIS and Agfa, or
(b) elect
to pay cash in an amount equal to the value of the Non-Cash
Consideration offered by the Offeror, as determined pursuant to
Section 2.04; provided, that Agfa shall not have the right to elect
to pay cash if OIS states in the Notice that it needs to obtain the
Non-Cash Consideration to pursue a material part of its business or
business plans and cannot obtain the same for cash at such
value.

into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of the Offered
Securities, and shall hold a closing of such purchase and sale as
promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to Article
III.
Section 2.07
Effect of Non-Election . If Agfa does not give an ROFR Acceptance in response to any
Notice, OIS may, subject to Article III, sell to the proposed
Offeror the Offered Securities, at the same purchase price and
payment terms described in the Notice and upon such other terms not
more favorable to the Offeror than as described in the Notice,
