(a) Upon the sale of any Shares that constitute Subject Shares through the facilities of a national securities exchange, such Shares shall cease being Subject Shares.

 

(b) Upon the bona fide Pledge of any Shares that constitute Subject Shares, such Shares shall be released from this Agreement, to the extent, and only to the extent, required by the terms of such Pledge.
