                    (iii) If the Offerees, in the aggregate, have elected to purchase from the Transferring Stockholder all but not less than all of the Subject Shares, then the Transfer of such shares to the Offerees shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Election Notice(s) to the Transferring Stockholder, but in any event within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Election Period. If the Electing Offerees have not elected to purchase all of the Subject Shares being offered, then the Transferring Stockholder may, within 90 days after the expiration of the Election Period, Transfer all of the Subject Shares to the proposed transferee(s) named in the First Refusal Notice at the price specified in the First Refusal Notice and on terms no more favorable to the proposed transferee(s) than those specified in the First Refusal Notice.
