• | FalconStor has a right of first refusal to purchase the remaining shares of FalconStor stock held by the Estate if the Estate proposes to dispose of such shares in any private transactions. |
• | Any shares of FalconStor stock held by the Estate are subject to a five-year voting agreement that requires the Estate to vote the shares in accordance with the recommendations of FalconStor’s Board of Directors. |
