NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which consideration are hereby acknowledged, Holder agrees as
follows:
1. Share
Restriction.
(a) Holder
hereby irrevocably agrees that during the Restricted Period, Holder will not
(1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or
other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction
described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common
Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing
sentence shall not apply in connection with an offer made to all shareholders of
the Company in connection with any merger, consolidation or similar transaction
involving the Company. In addition, Holder agrees that during the
Restricted Period the Holder will not make any demand for or exercise any right
with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of
Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock.
(b) In
furtherance of the foregoing, Holder further agrees that (i) the Company is
authorized to place "stop orders" on its books to prevent any transfer of shares
of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by Holder in violation
of this Agreement, and (ii) the Company and any duly appointed transfer agent
for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein are hereby
authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would
constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
1
(c) Any
subsequent issuance and/or acquisition of shares or the right to acquire shares
by or to Holder will be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing restrictions on transfer, Holder may, at any time and from time to
time during the Restricted Period, transfer the Common Stock or other applicable
securities (i) as bona fide gifts or transfers by will or intestacy, (ii) to any
trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of
Holder, provided that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for
value, (iii) to a partnership of which the Holder is a general partner, provided
that, in the case of any gift or transfer described in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii), each donee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions contained herein in the same manner as such terms and conditions
apply to Holder. For purposes hereof, "immediate family" means any
relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first
cousin.
2. Miscellaneous.
(a) At any
time and from time to time after the signing of this Agreement, Holder will
execute such additional instruments and take such action as may be reasonably
requested by the Purchaser to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement.
(b) This
Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that
would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction,
except to the extent that the securities laws of the state in which Holder
resides and federal securities laws may apply. Any proceeding brought
to enforce this Agreement may be brought in courts sitting in New York County,
New York.
(c) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement of Holder with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Holder hereby represents and warrants that Holder has
full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement
shall be binding upon Holder, its legal representatives, heirs, successors and

subsequent to the Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transactions
contemplated by the Amendment Agreement and continue the loans advanced to the
Company under the Notes.
