the Holder owns or has a right to acquire as of the date hereof or during the
Restriction Period, other than in connection with an offer made to all
stockholders of the Company in connection with merger, consolidation, or similar
transaction involving the Company. The Holder further agrees that the Company is
authorized to and the Company agrees to place “stop orders” on its books to
prevent any transfer of Shares or other securities of the Company held by the
Holder in violation of this Agreement. The Company agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts not to allow any transaction inconsistent with this
Agreement.

time and from time to time during the Restriction Period, transfer all or a
portion of the Shares (i) as bona fide gifts or transfers by will or intestacy
and (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or
the immediate family of the Holder, provided that any such transfer shall not
involve a disposition for value; provided, that, in the case of any gift or
transfer described in clauses (i) and (ii), each donee or transferee agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained herein in the same
manner as such terms and conditions apply to the undersigned.
(c) In
the event of any stock dividend, stock split or consolidation of shares or any
like capital adjustment of any of the outstanding securities of the Company, all
new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Holder
becomes entitled by reason of ownership of the Shares shall be subject to
restriction with the same force and effect as the Shares subject to restriction
immediately before such event.

entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and
