2. Restrictions on Transfer; Purchase by the Company. The Stockholder may not directly sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or dispose of (“Transfer”) all or any Unvested Shares except to the Company pursuant to this Section 2. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the issuance, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposal of any equity interests in Revel, LLC. If as of June 30, 2012, Vesting Event Number 1 has not then occurred, the Stockholder shall sell to the Company (or the Company’s assignee) 5,115,966 Unvested Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The purchase price to be paid by the Company for such Unvested Shares shall be $0.0001 per share (subject to adjustment as herein provided). If as of September 30, 2014, Vesting Event Number 2 has not then occurred, the Stockholder shall sell to the Company (or the Company’s assignee) 4,831,746 Unvested Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth below and no Shares shall thereafter become Vested Shares. The sale of any Unvested Shares by the Stockholder to the Company shall be effected by the delivery by the Escrow Holder (as defined below) to the Company of a certificate or certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares to be purchased by the Company (the “Purchase Shares”), each duly endorsed for transfer to the Company. Within 120 days following receipt thereof, the Company shall mail a check for the purchase price therefor to the Stockholder.

3. Stockholder Acknowledgments. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, nor registered pursuant to the provisions of the securities laws or other laws of any other applicable jurisdictions, in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and in the laws of such jurisdictions. The Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no intention and is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption that might otherwise be available, or to supply the Stockholder with any information necessary to enable the Stockholder to make routine sales of the Shares under Rule 144 or any other rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Furthermore, the Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company may place legends on any stock certificate representing the Shares with the securities laws and contractual restrictions thereon and issue related stop transfer instructions.
4. Escrow of Shares. All Shares shall be held in escrow by the Company, as escrow holder (“Escrow Holder”). The Escrow Holder is hereby directed to transfer the Shares in accordance with this Agreement or instructions signed by both the Stockholder and the Company.

The Stockholder hereby grants the Escrow Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to take any and all actions required to affect such transfer.

Subject to the terms hereof, the Stockholder shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time while the Escrow Holder is holding Shares, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in or respecting such shares, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Stockholder is entitled by reason of its ownership of the Shares shall be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as “Unvested Shares” or “Vested Shares,” as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement and the repurchase rights and rights of first refusal of the Company.
