The Company will provide the Executive notice of the Transfer of Common Stock or the Sale of the Company within fifteen days after the Transfer of Common Stock or Sale of the Company, as the case may be. (b) Subject to the following sentence, in the event Executive becomes entitled to receive any amounts from the Company pursuant to Section 12(a) above and the Company has not paid all of such amounts (the amount not paid being the "Unpaid Amount") to Executive within 90 days after the date of ------------- the Transfer of Common Stock by an Investor or the Sale of the Company (as the case may be), Executive may require (by delivery of written notice of such election to the Investors (the "Lookback Notice")) each Investor to pay to --------------- Executive the product of (i) the Unpaid Amount and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such Investor immediately preceding the Transfer of Common Stock or Sale of the Company (as the case may be) and the denominator of which shall equal the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (including all Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding at such time) immediately preceding the Transfer of Common Stock or Sale of the Company (as the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor shall be required to pay to Executive any amounts under this Section 12(b) unless Executive has in writing unconditionally released the Company from all amounts and obligations owing by the Company to Executive pursuant to this Section 12.
