For a period of ten (10) days following receipt of any Notice, the Company shall have the right (the “Company Refusal Right”) upon written notice to the Participant to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Notice, and for a period of twenty (20) days following the receipt of the Notice, each Investor shall have, upon written notice to the Participant, either (a) the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), subject to the Company Refusal Right, to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice or (b) the right (the “Co-Sale Right”) to elect to sell on such terms all or any part of that number of Shares then owned by such Investor (the “Co-Sale Shares”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Offered Shares by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Investors (on an As-Converted Basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant and all of the Investors (on an As-Converted Basis).

(i) If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the ten (10) day period specified above, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Investors setting forth the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Shares”). The Remaining Shares shall be allocated among the Investors who have exercised the Right of First Refusal (the “Participating Investors”) as follows: there shall first be allocated to each Participating Investor a number of Remaining Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Remaining Shares which the Participating Investor has elected to purchase and (ii) such Participating Investor’s Refusal Right Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Remaining Shares. The balance of the Remaining Shares which the Participating Investors have elected to purchase shall be allocated to the Participating Investors who have elected to purchase more than their Refusal Right Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Shares pro rata based on the number of Remaining Shares which each Participating Investor has elected to purchase in excess of such Participating Investor’s Refusal Right Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Shares. Each Participating Investor’s “Refusal Right Pro Rata Share” shall be equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Participating Investor (on an As-Converted Basis) and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Participating Investors (on an As-Converted Basis).

(ii) Each Investor who has exercised the Co-Sale Right (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall be entitled to sell a number of Co-Sale Shares equal to the lesser of (a) the number of Offered Shares which the Co-Sale Participant has elected to sell and (b) such Co-Sale Participant’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares which are not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Company Refusal Right or by the Participating

Investors pursuant to the Right of First Refusal (the “Co-Sale Remaining Shares”). Each Participant’s “Co-Sale Pro Rata Share” shall be equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Co-Sale Participant (on an As-Converted Basis) and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant and all of the Investors (on As-Converted Basis).

(iii) Any proposed Transfer at a different price or on terms and conditions more favorable to the transferee(s) than specified in the Notice, or not completed within the time specified in this Paragraph 3(b), as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Shares by a Stockholder, shall again be subject to the Company Refusal Right and the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Rights of the Investors, and shall require compliance by the Participant with the procedures described in this Paragraph 3.

(iv) The exercise or non-exercise of the Right of First Refusal or the Co-Sale Rights by the Investors in respect of one or more Transfers of Shares made by any Participant shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to this Paragraph 3.

d. Transfer Mechanics.

(i) If (i) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares subject to the Notice or (ii) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase less than all the Offered Shares and the prospective purchaser identified in the Notice does not agree to purchase any of the Offered Shares not so purchased, the following provisions shall apply: The Company and/or Participating Investors shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares and/or Remaining Shares on a date specified by the Participant by notice to the Company and/or the Participating Investors not earlier than the later of (x) ten (10) days after such notice or (y) thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Notice by the Investors. On the date of such purchase, the Participant shall deliver to the Company and/or the Participating Investors, as applicable, the certificates representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company and/or the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, in exchange for payment by the Company and/or the Participating Investors, as applicable, of the purchase price for the Shares.

(ii) If (i) the Company and the Participating Investors do not elect to purchase any of the Offered Shares or (ii) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares and the prospective purchaser agrees to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares, the following provisions shall apply: The Participant may, not later than forty (40) days following delivery to the Company of the

Notice, enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the Transfer to the third party purchaser(s) identified in the Notice of any Offered Shares with respect to which neither the Company Refusal Right nor the Right of First Refusal has been exercised, together with the closing of the purchase of any Shares to be sold by any Co-Sale Participant, such purchase to occur within thirty (30) days of such agreement at a price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Notice. Simultaneously with such purchase there shall occur the purchase of any Offered Shares with respect to which the Company Refusal Right or the Right of First Refusal has been exercised. On the date of such purchase, each Co-Sale Participant shall be paid that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale and the Company and/or each Participating Investor, as applicable, shall pay the Participant the purchase price to be paid by such Person for the Offered Shares purchased by them. Upon receipt of such payment, each Co-Sale Participant shall promptly deliver to the Participant for Transfer to the prospective purchaser(s) and, if applicable, the Participant shall deliver to the Company and/or the Participating Investors, one or more certificates properly endorsed for transfer which represent the Shares to be sold by each such Person pursuant to this Paragraph 3. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its Co-Sale Rights hereunder, such Participant shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Participant shall purchase such Shares from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Notice.

(iii) If the consideration to be paid for the Shares by the third party purchaser shall be other than cash, the Company or the Participating Investors, as applicable, exercising the Company Refusal Right or the Right of First Refusal may in lieu of such consideration pay cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration as mutually agreed between the Participant and the holders of a majority of the Shares as to which the Right of First Refusal and Company Refusal Right have been exercised. If such mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Appraisal Procedure set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be followed mutatis mutandis and the time periods in Paragraph 3(b) shall be extended by the time needed to determine such fair value.

e. Exempt Transfers.

(i) The Participant may Transfer Restricted Shares without complying with the provisions of Paragraph 3 if such Transfer is to any Permitted Transferee; provided that in the event of any Transfer made pursuant to

this Paragraph 3(e), (A) the Participant shall inform the Company of such Transfer prior to effecting it, and (B) the transferee shall furnish the Company with a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Paragraph 3 as if such transferee were the Participant. Such Transferred Restricted Shares shall remain Restricted Shares hereunder.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

f. Transfers to Competitors. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in connection with a Sale of the Company, prior to a Qualified Public Offering, no Transfer of Restricted Shares may be made by the Participant to a competitor of the Company or any person or entity that invests in any such competitor, as determined in good faith by the Board.

g. Stockholder Lockup Agreements in Connection with Initial Public Offering. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Participant agrees that, subject to any early release provisions that apply generally to stockholders of the Company, the Participant will not, if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, for a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement for an initial public offering directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, except for (i) transactions relating to Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the initial public offering, and (ii) Transfers to Permitted Transferees (each of whom shall have furnished to the Company and the managing underwriter their written consent to be bound by this Paragraph 3 or a similar agreement satisfactory to the Company).

h. Consequences of Prohibited Transfer. Any attempt by a Participant to Transfer Restricted Shares in violation of the terms of this Paragraph 3 shall be void, and the Company will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Restricted Shares.

i. Legend. Each certificate representing the Restricted Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement shall be endorsed with the following legend or legend(s) containing substantially similar information (in addition to any legend required under applicable securities laws or otherwise):

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE

SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A OF SUCH ACT. THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT TO WHICH THE HOLDER HEREOF AND THE COMPANY ARE PARTIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

This legend shall be removed upon termination of this Paragraph 3. The Participant consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Company’s securities and capital stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Paragraph 3.

j. The Participants agree that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on Restricted Shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Paragraph 3(i) above to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph 3. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Paragraph 3.

k. Drag Along Rights.

(i) In the event that the holders of at least 66% of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Proposing Stockholders”) agree to and accept an offer from a third party or third parties not Affiliated with any Proposing Stockholder (a “Buyer”) to consummate a transaction or series of related transactions with such Buyer pursuant to which Buyer would acquire all of the Shares held by such Proposing Shareholders for a specified price payable in cash, securities or other consideration and on specified terms and conditions, the Participant shall be required, if so demanded by the Proposing Shareholders (a “Drag Along Notice”) to sell all of the Participant’s Restricted Shares to such Buyer in such transaction(s) and to participate in such transaction(s) (a “Drag Along Sale”).

(ii) The provisions of this Paragraph 3(k) shall apply regardless of the form of consideration received in the Drag Along Sale, and the Participant shall (i) if the Drag Along Sale is structured as a merger or consolidation, waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, or (ii) if the Drag Along Sale is structured as a sale, agree to sell all of the Participant’s Restricted Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Proposing Stockholders. The Participant (a) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and (b) shall execute such documents and take such actions as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Proposing Shareholders.

(iii) Upon the consummation of the Drag Along Sale, the Participant (i) shall receive the same form of consideration and the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock (on an As Converted Basis) as every other holder of any class or series of Shares, except to the extent otherwise approved in connection with Section 2 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time, and (ii) shall be given the same option, if any, as any other holders of any other class or series of Shares as to the form of consideration to be received.

The certificate(s) delivered by the Participant shall be transferred to the Buyer identified in the Drag Along Notice as part of the consummation of the Drag Along Sale. Upon receipt of the proceeds of the Drag Along Sale, the Proposing Stockholders shall promptly remit to the Participant that portion of such proceeds to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s participation in such sale.

(b) In connection with a Drag Along Sale, the Participant agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Proposing Stockholders to which such Proposing Stockholders will also be party, on the same terms, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) (i) made individual representation, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to the Participant’s Restricted Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Restricted Shares and to enter into the agreements relating thereto and the absence of any adverse claim with respect to such Restricted Shares (but shall not be required to make individual representations or warranties with respect to any of the Company’s operations, activities, financial condition or other characteristics) and (ii) be liable without limitation as to such individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements and (b) be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of liability described in this

clause (b) in connection with any sale of Shares shall not exceed the less of (i) the Participant’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with the Participant’s portion of the total number of Shares included in such Drag Along Sale (on an As Converted Basis) or (ii) the proceeds to such Participant in connection with such Drag Along Sale.

Participant’s Employment relationship with the Company and its Affiliates shall be employment-at-will, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating an employment contract for any specified term between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate.

b. Nonsolicitation. The Participant agrees that during the period of his Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and for the one (1) year period immediately following termination of such Employment for any reason, the Participant shall not (i) directly or indirectly, engage in the recruiting, soliciting or inducing of any nonclerical employee or employees of the Company or Affiliates to terminate their employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or in hiring or assisting another person or entity to hire any nonclerical employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any person who within six (6) months before had been a nonclerical employee of the Company or any of their Affiliates and were recruited or solicited for such employment or other retention while an employee of the Company (other than any of the foregoing activities engaged in with the prior written approval of the Company); or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage or attempt to persuade any agent, supplier or customer of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such agency or business relationship. The Participant acknowledges that if (x) the Participant breaches any term or condition contained in this paragraph 4(b) and (y) the Company provides the Participant with written notice of such breach, then all Shares subject to this Award shall be automatically forfeited (whether then vested or unvested).

c. Securities Law Compliance. Participant shall not transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares received pursuant to this Agreement until such time as counsel to the Company shall have determined that such transfer or other disposition will not violate any state or federal securities laws. Participant may be required by the Company, as a condition of the effectiveness of this restricted stock award, to agree in writing that all Shares subject to this Agreement shall be held, until such time that such Shares are registered and freely tradable under applicable state and federal securities laws, for Participant’s own account without a view to any further distribution thereof, that the certificates for such shares shall bear an appropriate legend to that effect and that such shares will be not transferred or disposed of except in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws.

d. Shares Reserved. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Agreement reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

e. Withholding Taxes. In order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state payroll, income or other taxes are withheld from any amounts payable by the Company to Participant. If the Company is unable to withhold such federal and state taxes, for whatever reason, Participant hereby agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under federal or state law.

f. 2008 Equity and Incentive Plan. The Award evidenced by this Agreement is granted pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan has been made available to Participant and is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to and in all respects limited and conditioned as provided in the Plan. The Plan governs this Agreement. Except with respect to the lockup provisions contained in Paragraph 3(g), in the event of any questions as to the construction of this Agreement or in the event of a conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.

g. Blue Sky Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company makes any public offering of its securities and determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to reduce the number of issued but unexercised stock purchase rights so as to comply with any state securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto, the Board of Directors of the Company shall accelerate the vesting of this restricted stock award, provided that the Company gives Participant 15 days’ prior written notice of such acceleration. Notice shall be deemed given when delivered personally or when deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid and addressed to Participant at the address of Participant on file with the Company.

h. Accounting Compliance. Participant agrees that, if a merger, reorganization, liquidation or other “transaction” as defined in Section 11(b) of the Plan occurs,

and Participant is an “affiliate” of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined in applicable legal and accounting principles) at the time of such transaction, Participant will comply with all requirements of Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the requirements of such other legal or accounting principles, and will execute any documents necessary to ensure such compliance.

i. Stock Legend. The Committee may require that the certificates for any Shares purchased by Participant (or, in the case of death, Participant’s successors) shall bear an appropriate legend to reflect the restrictions set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that failure to so endorse any of such certificates shall not render invalid or inapplicable Paragraph 3.

j. Scope of Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its Affiliates and its successors and assigns and Participant and any successor or successors of Participant permitted by Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 3 above. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Company expressly reserves the right to amend this Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with Code Section 409A, and the regulations, notices and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, any provision of Paragraph 3 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by the written consent given by the Company and Investors holding sixty-six percent (66%) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, and no consent from the Participant shall be required unless such amendment or waiver creates material additional obligations for the Participant under this Agreement which are substantially different from any obligations imposed on holders of Common Stock under the Investors Stockholders Agreement (in which case, the consent of participants under restricted stock or option agreements who are bound by terms and conditions of similar tenor to this Agreement who hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the total of all restricted shares and option shares held by all such participants thereunder and hereunder shall be required for any such amendment or waiver which does create such material additional obligations).

5. Change of Control.

a. Acceleration. In the event of a Change of Control (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) in which there is no assumption or substitution of the Shares as described in Paragraph 5(b), then the Shares shall become fully vested and the risks of forfeiture on the Shares shall immediately lapse as of the occurrence of such Change of Control.

     b. Continuation or Assumption of the Shares. In the event of a Change of Control in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the acquiring or surviving entity may provide for the continuation or assumption of the Shares, or for the grant of a new award in substitution therefor, by the acquiror or

survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor, in each case on such terms and subject to such conditions as preserve the intrinsic value of the Shares. In the event the acquiring or surviving entity provides for the continuation or assumption of the Shares as set forth in this Paragraph 5(b), the Shares shall become fully vested and the risks of forfeiture on the Shares shall immediately lapse upon the Participant’s termination of Employment by the acquiring or surviving entity without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case within eighteen (18) months after the Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material diminution in the Participant’s responsibilities or duties as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, (ii) the relocation of Participant’s principal office, without the Participant’s consent, to a location more than one hundred (100) miles from the location of the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to the Change of Control, or (iii) any reduction in the Participant’s base compensation in the absence of a general reduction affecting similarly situated employees.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.
