(b) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may Transfer the Covered Securities to a Permitted Transferee without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that (i) Parent receives a signed lock-up agreement in substantially the same form as this Agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Periods from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (ii) any such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii)if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with such Transfer shall be legally required prior to the expiration of the Third Lock-Up Period, such filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such Transfer, and (iv) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such Transfers.

(c) Stop Transfer. During the Lock-Up Periods, undersigned hereby authorizes Parent to cause any transfer agent for the Covered Securities subject to this Agreement to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Covered Securities, subject to this Agreement for which the undersigned is the record holder and, in the case of Covered Securities subject to this Agreement for which the undersigned is the beneficial owner but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Periods to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Covered Securities subject to this Agreement, if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
2. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the first day following the expiration of the Third Lock-Up Period; provided that Sections 3 through 16 of this Agreement shall survive termination under this Section 2.
3. Transfer; Successor and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

As a condition to providing any such new certificate without the legend set forth in Section 5(a)(i) hereof, Parent may require from the undersigned a certificate or an opinion of counsel of the undersigned with respect to any relevant matters in connection with removal of such legend, which certificate or opinion of counsel will be satisfactory to Parent.

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. This Agreement shall become effective when both parties hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. Until and unless each party hereto has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party hereto shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
