Lock-Up Provision The Employee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of Common Stock, including an initial public offering of Common Stock, pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act (whether before or after the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to any of the Restricted Shares), the Employee shall not effect any public sale or distribution of Common Stock or of any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or hedging transactions relating to Common Stock, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the period beginning 14 days prior to the expected date of “pricing” of such public offering and continuing for a period not to exceed 180 days after the date of the final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement) as may be established by the underwriter(s) for such public offering (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, that if (i) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten public offering waive, in writing, such extension. If and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s), the Employee agrees to execute an agreement to the foregoing effect with the underwriter(s) for such public offering on such terms as the managing underwriter(s) shall reasonably request (with such modification as reasonably requested by such managing underwriter(s) to take into consideration then existing rules of an applicable securities exchange regarding research analyst publications). The limitations contained in this Section 3(g) shall not apply to any shares registered in such public offering under the Securities Act.
Gross-Up Provision (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any portion of the Termination Payment, Accrued Benefits or any other payment or benefit under this Agreement, or payments to and for the benefit of the Executive under any other agreement or plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, regardless of whether such payment or benefit was paid or provided for prior to the Covered Termination (herein all collectively referred to as the “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment,” the Company shall pay Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive after deduction of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, any interest charges or penalties in respect of the imposition of such excise tax (but not any federal, state or local income tax, or employment tax) on the Total Payments, and any federal, state and local income tax, employment tax, and excise tax upon the payment provided for by this Section 9(c), shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s domicile for income tax purposes on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes. The Company shall pay the Gross-Up Payment: (1) if the Executive is terminated as described in Section 2, as soon as practicable after the Gross-Up Payment amount is determined, but no later than 2 1/2 months following the year in which the Change in Control of the Company occurs; (2) if the Executive is terminated as described in Section 8 and is a Specified Employee, on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs; or (3) otherwise, within ninety (90) days following the Employee’s Separation from Service; provided that the Executive shall not have discretion to choose the tax year in which the Gross-Up Payment shall be made if the calendar year ends during such 90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is required to pay the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code prior to the applicable payment date for the Gross-Up Payment describe hereinabove (such as, for instance, because other payments due to the Executive without regard to this Agreement cause the excise tax to be due), then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for the amount of excise taxes paid by the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code, plus an amount equal to the additional taxes imposed on the Executive due to the Company’s reimbursement of the excise tax and such additional taxes. In no event shall the payment described in this paragraph be paid to the Executive later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the Executive remits such taxes. In such event, the Gross-Up Payment, if and when paid, shall be reduced by the payment previously made to the Executive under this paragraph.

Any payment or distribution that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code on account of separation from service instead shall be made on the earlier of the date that is six months and one day after the date of the specified employee’s separation from service and the specified employee’s death.
