| i. | Surrender of Shares.

3
| not the Participant is required by the Company to execute a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement). The proxy granted hereby is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Notwithstanding the above, this paragraph 6(c) shall cease to apply as to any such Shares upon the termination of the Stockholders Agreement as to such Shares. |
SECTION 7. SECURITIES LAW ISSUES.
| (a) | Securities Not Registered. The Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act. Any Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option are being issued to the Participant in reliance upon either (i) the exemption from such registration provided by Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act for stock issuances under compensatory benefit plans such as the Plan or (ii) the exemption for grants made to executive officers of the Company (or one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act. |
| (b) | Participant Representations. The Participant hereby confirms that he or she has been informed that the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act which may not be resold or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, the Participant hereby represents and acknowledges as follows: |
| i. | The Shares are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to sale or distribution thereof; |
| ii. | The Participant is prepared to hold the Shares for an indefinite period and is aware that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (which exempts certain resales of securities) is not presently available to exempt the resale of the Shares from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and |
| iii. | The Participant is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(e) of Regulation D of the Securities Act by virtue of the Participant’s position with the Company, income, assets or otherwise. |
| (c) | Registration. The Company may, but shall not be obligated, to register or qualify the Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law, except, solely with respect to Participants who are signatories to or have executed a joinder with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, as required under the Registration Rights Agreement. |
| (d) | Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Participant hereby agrees, at the request of the Company or the managing underwriters, to be bound by and/or to execute and deliver, a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such public offering restricting such Participant’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Shares acquired under this Agreement or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares acquired under this Agreement, in each case to the extent that such restrictions are agreed to by the Majority Principal Investors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (or a majority of the shares of Class A Stock if there are no Principal Investors remaining) with the underwriter(s) of such public offering (the “Principal |
4
| Lock-Up Agreement”); provided, however, that the Participant shall not be required by this SECTION 7(d) to be bound by a lock-up agreement covering a period of greater than 90 days (180 days in the case of the Initial Public Offering) following the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to: (a) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of the Participant permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) conversions of Shares into other classes of Shares or securities without change of Participant and (c) during the period preceding the execution of the underwriting agreement, Transfers to a charitable organization, described by Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, permitted in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. |
| (e) | Additional Restrictions. The Shares are subject to such additional restrictions as are set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and any employment or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as well as such other restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions), that in the judgment of the Company, are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law. |
| (f) | Participant Undertaking. The Participant agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents that the Company may deem necessary or advisable to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either the Participant or the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with applicable laws. |
SECTION 8. TRANSFER OF SHARES
| (a) | General Rule. Other than as set forth herein, the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option may not be transferred to any person other than to the Company or to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant has executed a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement) or any other applicable agreement entered into by the Company and the Participant; provided that notwithstanding the Stockholders Agreement, the Company may restrict transfers to a Permitted Transferee if, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company determines it desirable in order to limit the number of holders of record of shares of stock of the Company, so as to prevent the Company from becoming a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding the above, this SECTION 8(a) shall cease to apply as to any Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option upon an Initial Public Offering, subject to the Stockholders Agreement or any other applicable agreement entered into by the Company and the Participant. |
| (b) | Transferee Obligations. If the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option are transferred to a Permitted Transferee, such Permitted Transferee must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent such Shares would be so subject if retained by the Participant. |
| (c) | Drag-Along Rights. The Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to the Drag-Along Rights as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant is a signatory thereof), the provisions of such Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement to apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement. The |
5
| Participant shall be deemed to have appointed each member of the Principal Investors, with full power of substitution, as the Participant’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Participant’s name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any and all agreements that the members of the Principal Investors reasonably believe are consistent with the purposes of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Participant. |
| (d) | Tag-Along Rights. The Shares shall be subject to the Tag-Along Rights as, and to the extent, set forth in Section 4.1 of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant is a signatory thereof), the provisions of such Section 4.1 of the Stockholders Agreement to apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement. |
| (e) | Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this SECTION 8. |

| (c) | Execution of Call. The closing of any purchase and sale pursuant to the Call Right shall take place at the principal office of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Company’s exercise notice described in SECTION 9(b) or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine. |
| (d) | Purchase Price. If the Company exercises the Call Right, the Participant shall sell, and shall cause any Permitted Transferee to whom Shares acquired pursuant to exercise of this Option have been transferred to sell (and such Permitted Transferee shall sell), to the Company all of the Shares subject to the Call Right and the Company shall purchase each such Share for its Fair Market Value on the date of the closing or, (i) in the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company for Cause, (ii) by the Participant’s resignation after an inquiry by the Company as to the existence of Cause has been initiated and Cause existed as of the date of such resignation, or (iii) in the event the Participant’s service terminates by Participant’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, the lesser of the amount paid by the Participant or such Fair Market Value. The Company shall make commercially reasonable |
6
| efforts, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, to pay all or any portion of the repurchase price in cash. However, if the Company cannot make all or any portion of the payment in cash it shall issue a promissory note with a principal amount equal to the amount of the repurchase price which was not paid in cash (e.g., the full amount or a portion thereof, as applicable), on which interest will accrue on the principal thereof at a rate equal to the prime rate and the principal, together with the interest thereon, will become due and payable, to the extent commercially reasonable (as determined by the Board of Directors), in three equal annual installments, payable on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of issuance thereof. |
