WHEREAS, as an inducement to and condition to the Acquiror’s willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Acquiror has required that the Holder enter into this Agreement.

2.1 Lock-up.
(a) Subject to the exclusions in Section 2.1(c), the Holder agrees not to Transfer any Lock-up Acquiror Shares until the end of the applicable Lock-up Period.
(b) The Holder represents and warrants that it is not and will not, and has not caused or directed any of its direct or indirect affiliates to be or become, party to any agreement or arrangement that provides for, is designed to, or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any Prohibited Activity in respect of Lock-up Acquiror Shares during the Lock-up Period.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), the Holder may do the following:
(i) Transfer any Lock-up Acquiror Shares pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction, provided that in the event that such Change of Control Transaction is not completed, the Lock-up Acquiror Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement;
(ii) Transfer the Lock-up Acquiror Shares to an Affiliate;
(iii) provided the Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, Transfer the Lock-up Acquiror Shares (i) directly or indirectly, to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Holder, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by, advising or advised by, or under common control, management or advisement with the Holder or affiliates of the Holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the Holder is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (ii) as part of a Transfer without consideration by the Holder to its direct or indirect members or stockholders or any affiliate of the Holder, or its current partners (general or limited), members, beneficiaries or other equity holders, or to the estates of any such stockholders, partners, beneficiaries or other equity holders; or
(iv) enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act after the Closing Date relating to the Transfer, if then permitted by the Acquiror, provided that the securities subject to such plan may not be Transferred until after the expiration of the Lock-up Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made by any person regarding the establishment of such plan during the Lock-up Period;
provided, that (x) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, it shall be a condition to the Transfer that (A) the Affiliate, transferee or distributee, as the case may be, enters into an agreement with Acquiror pursuant to which it agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Acquiror Shares except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement, (B) such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and (C) no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Acquiror Shares shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period (other than any required Form 5 filing) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall not Transfer any Escrow Shares until such time that such shares have been released from escrow and issued to the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
3
(d) The Holder also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Acquiror’s transfer agent and registrar against the Transfer of the Lock-up Acquiror Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. By default, the Acquiror will use reasonable best efforts to instruct the transfer agent and registrar to remove stop transfer instructions using a “first in, first out” methodology if less than all of the Lock-up Acquiror Shares are to be released.
(e) In the event that a release is granted to a Lockup Stockholder (other than Holder) that is an officer or director of the Company or a 1.5% Holder (each a “Triggering Person”) under such Triggering Person’s respective Lockup Agreement relating to the lock-up restrictions set forth therein (a “Triggering Release”), the same percentage of Holder’s Lock-up Acquiror Shares as the percentage of the Lock-up Acquiror Shares being released under such Triggering Person’s Lockup Agreement represent with respect to the total number of Lock-up Acquiror Shares held by such Triggering Person shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from lock-up restrictions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver, termination, release or other consent will constitute a Triggering Release if the aggregate number of shares of Lock-Up Acquiror Shares released as to any Lockup Stockholder and his, her or its Affiliates (whether in one or multiple releases) has a value not greater than $5,000,000 (measured based on the closing price of Acquiror Shares on the trading day prior to the waiver or release as reported on the New York Stock Exchange).

The parties hereto will sign such further documents, cause such meetings to be held, resolutions passed, exercise their votes and do and perform and cause to be done such further acts and things necessary, proper or advisable in order to give full effect to this Agreement and every provision hereof.

3.5 Third Parties. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder.
3.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or other matter that may result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement, including any claim or cause of action resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Relevant Matters”), shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision, rule, or principle (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
5
3.7 Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with any Relevant Matter (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware). Each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings with respect to a Relevant Matter except in such Court of Chancery (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in any federal court within the State of Delaware). By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Acquiror and the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes in connection with any Relevant Matter and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding in connection with any Relevant Matter brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.
3.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE AND INCLUDING ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM INVOLVING ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE RELATED PARTY) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT MATTER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SECTION 3.8 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR COPY OF THIS SECTION 3.8 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH OTHER PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
3.9 Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party or parties hereto of any covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, (a) each party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (b) no party hereto shall be required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or legal proceeding. Any and all remedies expressly conferred herein upon a party hereto shall be deemed to be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or in equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity based on any other Person’s fraud, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit (x) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud, (y) the time period during which a claim for fraud may be brought or (z) the recourse which any such party may seek against another Person with respect to a claim for fraud.
6
3.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Acquiror or the Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.
3.11 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
3.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3.13 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as of the date of this Agreement and may not be revoked by any party hereto.
3.14 Termination. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of Article IX thereof without the Closing having been consummated, then this Agreement will automatically terminate and have no further force or effect at such time; provided, however that the provisions of Section 1.2 and this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
