The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the Restricted Holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of any of the Restricted Securities of the Restricted Holder during the Restricted Period, even if such securities would be disposed of by someone other than the Restricted Holder.
(b) In addition, during the period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the closing date of the Merger, the Restricted Holder will not, directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any short sale (as defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), whether or not against the box, establish any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock, borrow or pre-borrow any shares of Common Stock, or grant any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, is convertible into or exercisable for or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock or otherwise seek to hedge the Restricted Holder’s position in the Common Stock.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Restricted Holder shall be permitted to engage in any Disposition where the other party to such Disposition is another Restricted Holder or and Disposition to an affiliate as long as such affiliate executes a copy of this Agreement.
2. Legends; Stop Transfer Instructions.
(a) In addition to any legends to reflect applicable transfer restrictions under federal or state securities laws, each stock certificate representing Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF __________, 2012, BETWEEN THE HOLDER HEREOF AND THE ISSUER AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF.”
(b) The Restricted Holder hereby agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Restricted Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Restricted Securities held by the Restricted Holder except in compliance with this Agreement.
3. Miscellaneous.
(a) Specific Performance. The Restricted Holder agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Restricted Holder of any covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement, then the Company shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company) to: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. The Restricted Holder further agrees that neither the Company nor any other person or entity shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 3, and the Restricted Holder irrevocably waives any right that he, she, or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
