3. Repurchase Right
In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws. Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares while the Shares are subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option (as defined below). After any Shares have been released from the Repurchase Option, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in such Shares except in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable securities laws.
(a) Repurchase Option.
(i) In the event that Purchaser shall at any time cease to have an employment, consulting or other service relationship with the Company (or any successor or its parent company) for any reason (the date of such termination being the “Termination Date “). the Company shall have the right (the “Repurchase Option “). for a period of 90 days from such Termination Date (the “Option Period”), to repurchase any or all of the Shares that have not yet been released from the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 3(b) (the “Unvested Shares”) at a repurchase price per Share in cash of $1.41 (the “Repurchase Price”). The Company may exercise its Repurchase Option as to any or all of the Unvested Shares at any time during the Option Period by written notice to Purchaser: provided, however, that without requirement of further action on the part of either party hereto, the Repurchase Option shall be deemed to have been
automatically exercised as to all Unvested Shares at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the last day of the Option Period, unless the Company declines in writing to exercise its Repurchase Option in whole or in part prior to such time; provided further, that notwithstanding the above, the Repurchase Option shall not be deemed to have been automatically exercised, and shall instead be deemed to become temporarily unexercisable as of such time and date and extended by the duration of any such period. in any case where such automatic exercise would result in a violation of applicable law (including without limitation Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), and the Repurchase Option shall once again be deemed exercisable (or, as provided above, exercised) as soon as a violation of applicable law would not result from its exercise.
(ii) If the Company determines not to exercise the Repurchase Option in whole or in part, it shall notify Purchaser prior to the end of the Option Period, and the Repurchase Option shall thereupon terminate as to any Unvested Shares for which the Company declined to exercise the Repurchase Option. If the Repurchase Option is exercised or deemed to be exercised, then within five (5) business days after the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, the Company shall notify the Escrow Agent (as defined below) thereof and shall make payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares being repurchased by any of the following methods: (A) delivering to Purchaser a check in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price: (B) canceling an amount of indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price; or (C) any combination of (A) and (B) such that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such aggregate Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unvested Shares being repurchased and all related rights and interests therein, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Unvested Shares being repurchased by the Company.
(iii) If the Company neither notifies Purchaser prior to the end of the Option Period of the Company’s decision not to exercise its Repurchase Option nor delivers payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price to Purchaser within five (5) business days after the actual or deemed exercise of the Repurchase Option (or within an additional period in accordance with Section 3(a)(i)). then the sole remedy of Purchaser thereafter shall be to receive the aggregate Repurchase Price from the Company in the manner set forth above for the Unvested Shares deemed repurchased, and in no case shall Purchaser have any claim of ownership as to any of such Unvested Shares. If the Repurchase Option is terminated in whole or in part by written notice from the Company to Purchaser, then upon and following such termination the only remaining right of Purchaser under this Agreement shall be the right to receive and retain the Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option was terminated, and Purchaser shall have no right whatsoever to receive the Repurchase Price.
(b) Vesting; Release of Shares from Repurchase Option.
As of the date of this Agreement, all of the Shares shall initially be deemed Unvested Shares and subject to the Repurchase Option. One-fourth (1/4) of the Unvested Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement so long as Purchaser has not voluntarily terminated his employment with the Company prior to such anniversary’, and thereafter 1/12 of the remaining Unvested Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option and shall thereupon cease to be Unvested Shares upon completion of each successive quarter of service after the first anniversary of this Agreement, until all Unvested Shares have been released from the Repurchase Option on the four (4) year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. In the event of a Change of Control in which the vesting of any equity award held by any employee, officer or director of the Company employed after the date of this Agreement accelerates on a basis more favorable than that afforded to Purchaser hereunder, this Section 3(b) shall be deemed modified to provide Purchaser with such more favorable vesting acceleration.
(c) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Change of Control” means (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company in which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization (or the shares of capital stock into which such shares are converted or for which such shares are exchanged in connection with such merger, consolidation or reorganization) do not represent immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting entity or (2) if the surviving or resulting entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another entity immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, the parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity; or (B) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
(d) Escrow. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 3. Purchaser agrees. immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) for the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option, to deliver such certificate(s). together with an Assignment Separate From Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B executed by Purchaser (and by Purchaser’s spouse if required for transfer), in blank, to the Secretary of the Company or the Secretary’s designee (as applicable, the “Escrow Agent “), to hold such certificate(s) and Assignment Separate From Certificate in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is so appointed as the escrow holder with the foregoing authorities as a material inducement to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. Purchaser agrees that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party hereof (or to any other party). The Escrow Agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Purchaser agrees that if the Escrow Agent resigns as escrow holder for any or no reason. the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to appoint a successor to serve as Escrow holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Certificates representing the Shares that have been released from the Repurchase Option shall be delivered to Purchaser upon request promptly after such release.

Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by Purchaser or such Transferee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in this Section 4.

Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company or counsel to the Company for any tax advice.
9. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders
(a) Legends. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):
(i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT EFFECTIVE REGISTRATIONS THEREUNDER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.
11. Section 83(b) Election
Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” means the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

Even if the fair market value of the Shares at the time of the execution of this Agreement equals the amount paid for the Shares, the election must be made to avoid income under Section 83(a) of the Code in the future. Purchaser understands that failure to file such an election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax consequences for Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is solely Purchaser’s responsibility to timely file an 83(b) Election, if Purchaser chooses to do so, that the Company has no responsibility or obligation of any kind to assist with such filing, and that Purchaser will have no claim of any kind against the Company or counsel to the Company if Purchaser fails to timely file such 83(b) Election. Purchaser further understands that an additional copy of such election form should be filed with Purchaser’s federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary’ of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Shares hereunder and does not purport to be complete. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has directed Purchaser to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which Purchaser may reside, and the tax consequences of Purchaser’s death.
