The foregoing shall not be enforceable with respect to private transactions completed by the BRQL Shareholders during the Lock-Up Period; provided, however, that all such shares sold or otherwise conveyed in such private transactions (the “Private Transaction Shares”) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and any certificates representing such Private Transaction Shares shall include a restrictive legend referencing this Lock Up Agreement
5. Grant of Option to Acquire Preferred Stock. BRQL hereby grants to the BRQL Shareholders an option (the “Option”) to exchange shares of BRQL common stock held by the BRQL Shareholders for shares of BRQL preferred stock, pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
a. Each BRQL Shareholder shall have the right to exchange thirty percent (30%) of the number of shares of BRQL common stock held by such BRQL Shareholder indicated on the signature page hereto and to which this Lock Up Agreement applies.

b. The Exchange Shares may be exchanged for that series of BRQL Preferred Stock into which the Note may be converted by the holder of such Note (the “Preferred Stock”). Each one Exchange Share may be exchanged for one share of the Preferred Stock.
c. Each BRQL Shareholder may exchange all or any portion of the Exchange Shares for the Preferred Stock beginning on the date on which the Preferred Stock is created by the filing of a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences. The Option shall expire at the end of the Lock-Up Period.
