II. Repurchase Option.
(1) Upon termination of your employment with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from you or any holder of the Shares as permitted under Section III(4) (a “Holder”) any or all of the Shares at the per Share purchase price paid by you for such Shares (the “Repurchase Option”).
(2) The Company may exercise the Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to you or a Holder within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of your employment, a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s office. At the closing, the Secretary of the Company or other escrow agent as provided in Section VI shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares to the Company, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.
(3) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to you or a Holder stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office.
(4) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice to you or a Holder within ninety (90) days following the date of termination of your employment, the Repurchase Option shall terminate,
and any restrictions on Shares remaining as of the date of the termination of your employment shall lapse immediately.
(5) One hundred percent (100%) of the Shares shall initially be subject to the Repurchase Option. The Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section III(1).
III. Lapse of Repurchase Option.

Such Shares shall cease to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), no such new certificate shall be delivered to you or a Holder unless and until you or a Holder shall have paid to the Company the full amount of the minimum statutory withholding based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state and local tax purposes, including payroll taxes resulting from the grant of the Shares or the lapse or removal of the restrictions (the “Tax Obligations”). You hereby agree that you or a Holder will satisfy the Tax Obligations (x) resulting from the grant of the Shares, by paying to the Company, in cash or by check, the full amount of the Tax Obligations, or (y) relating to the lapse of the Repurchase Option with respect to any of the Shares as provided in Section III, by hereby authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise deliverable to you as a result of the lapse of the Repurchase Option with respect to any of the Shares as provided in Section III, a number of shares having a fair market value less than or equal to the Tax Obligations. The number of shares of Common Stock tendered by you pursuant to this subsection shall be determined by the Company and be valued at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the Tax Obligations arise.

You agree to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section V.
VI. Escrow.
