A buy-sell agreement that includes a right of first refusal allows the remaining shareholders to have the option to purchase the shares before they are sold to a third party. This ensures that the ownership and control of the company remains in the hands of the current shareholders. Option B, a "take-along" clause, allows a shareholder to include a third-party buyer in a sale of their shares, which would not achieve the desired goal of preventing third-party sales. Option C, a key-person clause, is typically used to address the potential impact on the company if a key employee leaves, and would not be effective for this situation. Option D, a stop-and-desist clause, would cause the dissolution of the firm in the event of a sale of shares, which is likely not the desired outcome for the shareholders.
