Executive’s annual base salary, subject to any increase implemented by the Board of Directors of the Company, will be $200,000.

The date hereof		20%
March 1, 2001		40%
March 1, 2002		60%
March 1, 2003		80%
March 1, 2004		100%

No Executive Securities shall vest after the date on which Executive’s employment with the Company Parties terminates.

(b) Acceleration upon Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment with the Company Parties is terminated by reason of Executive’s death or Disability, at least 60% of the Executive Securities shall be Vested Securities (i.e., to the extent, but only to the extent, that less than 60% of the Executive Securities have not already vested upon such termination of employment, the Executive Securities will vest as of the date of such termination so that 60% of the Executive Securities shall be Vested Securities and 40% shall be Unvested Securities).

(c) Acceleration upon Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with the Company Parties is terminated by any of the Company Parties without Cause (and not by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, 20% of the Executive Securities will vest (to the extent not vested) as a result of Executive’s termination by the Company Parties without Cause or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason as of the date of such termination (e.g., if 40% of the Executive Securities are Vested Securities at the time of such termination or such resignation, then after such termination or such resignation, 60% of the Executive Securities shall be Vested Securities and 40% shall be Unvested Securities).

(d) Acceleration upon Termination and Sale of the Company. If, within twelve (12) months after a Sale of the Company, Executive’s employment with the Company Parties is terminated by any of the Company Parties without Cause (and not by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, all Unvested Securities (if any) will vest as of the date of such termination.

Call Option and Put Option.

(a) The Call Option. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties, the Executive Securities (whether Vested Securities or Unvested Securities and whether held by Executive or by one or more of Executive’s Transferees) will be subject to repurchase by the LLC (or one or more of its assignees at the election of the LLC) at the option of the LLC pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the “Call Option”‘).

(b) The Put Option. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties (other than by the Company Parties for Cause or resignation by Executive without Good Reason), the Unvested Securities (whether held by Executive or by one or more of Executive’s Transferees) will be subject to repurchase by the LLC (or one or more of its assignees at the election

-4-

of the LLC) at the option of Executive (or a legal representative of Executive or Executive’s estate in the event of termination by reason of Disability or death) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the “Put Option”).

(c) Repurchase Price. The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) of any Vested Securities to be repurchased pursuant to any exercise of the Call Option shall (subject to upward adjustment as provided in Section 3(j) below) be the Fair Market Value of such securities. The Repurchase Price of any Unvested Securities to be repurchased pursuant to any exercise of the Call Option, and the Repurchase Price of any Executive Securities to be repurchased pursuant to any exercise of the Put Option, shall be the Original Cost of such securities.

(d) Exercise of Call Option. The LLC (by action of the Board) may elect to purchase (and/or elect to give one or more assignees of the LLC the right to elect to purchase) all or any portion of the Executive Securities by delivering written notice (the “Call Notice”) to the holder or holders of such Executive Securities within sixty (60) days after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties. The Call Notice shall set forth the number, type, and class of Executive Securities (including, if applicable, the number of Unvested Securities and/or Vested Securities) to be acquired from each such holder and, in the event that all of the Executive Securities to be repurchased are Unvested Securities, the time and place for the closing of the transaction, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days nor less than five (5) days after the delivery of such Call Notice; provided that the LLC or any other purchaser may elect to require that such Transfer be consummated effective as of the first day of the next succeeding month. The Executive Securities to be repurchased by the LLC (and/or one or more of its assignees) shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Call Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the LLC (and/or one or more of its assignees) has elected to purchase, the LLC (and/or one or more of its assignees) shall purchase the remaining securities elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, pro rata according to the number of Executive Securities held of record by each such other holder at the time of delivery of the Call Notice. The number of Unvested Securities and Vested Securities to be repurchased hereunder shall be deemed to be allocated among Executive and the other holders of repurchased Executive Securities (if any) pro rata according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such persons.

(e) Exercise of Put Option. Executive (or a legal representative of Executive or Executive’s estate in the event of Disability or death) may elect to cause the LLC (or one or more of its assignees at the election of the LLC) to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Securities by delivering written notice (the “Put Notice”) to the LLC within sixty (60) days after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties. The Put Notice shall set forth the number, type and class of Unvested Securities to be acquired from each holder of Unvested Securities and the time and place for the closing of the transaction, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days nor less than five (5) days after the delivery of such Put Notice; provided that the LLC or any other

-5-

purchaser may elect to require that such Transfer be consummated effective as of the first day of the next succeeding month.

(f) Assignment by the LLC. The LLC (by action of the Board) will have the right (but not the obligation) to assign or delegate all or any portion of its repurchase rights or obligations hereunder in connection with either the Call Option and/or the Put Option to any Person(s).

(g) Fair Market Value of Vested Securities. The “Fair Market Value” of the Vested Securities shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (g).

(i) Holders of a majority of the Major Investor Equity and holders of a majority of the Vested Securities to be repurchased shall attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Vested Securities to be repurchased. Any agreement reached by such Persons shall be final and binding on all parties hereto.

(ii) If such Persons are unable to reach such agreement within twenty (20) days after the giving of a Call Notice, the Fair Market Value of any Vested Securities that are publicly traded shall be the average, over a period of twenty-one (21) days consisting of the date of Executive’s termination of employment and the twenty (20) consecutive business days prior to that date, of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities may at that time be listed, or, if there have been no sales on any such exchange on any day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if on any day such securities are not so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted in the Nasdaq System as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on any day such securities are not quoted in the Nasdaq System, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or any similar successor organization.

(iii) If such Persons are unable to reach agreement pursuant to subparagraph (i) above within thirty (30) days after the giving of a Call Notice, then to the extent any Executive Securities are not publicly traded:

(A) Holders of a majority of the Major Investor Equity and holders of a majority of the Vested Securities to be repurchased shall each, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, choose one investment banker or other appraiser with experience in analyzing and making determinations concerning matters in the telecommunications industry and in valuing entities like the LLC and Investors LLC (including the distribution arrangements of the type described in the LLC Agreement and the Investors LLC Agreement), and the two investment bankers/appraisers so selected shall together select a third investment/banker appraiser similarly qualified.

-6-

(B) The three investment bankers/appraisers shall first appraise the fair market value of the LLC (or, after the Management Rollup but prior to the dissolution and liquidation of Investors LLC, Investors LLC) based on the assumption of an orderly, arm’s length sale to a willing unaffiliated buyer. The three investment bankers/appraisers shall then appraise the fair market value of such non-publicly-traded Vested Securities as follows:

(1) the fair market value of each share of Common Stock shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of Executive’s termination of employment (determined on a fully-diluted basis using the “Treasury Method” of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles for determination of fully-diluted earnings per share);

(2) the fair market value of each share of Preferred Stock shall be equal to the greater of (x) the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation) of such share, together with all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (as determined under the Company’s certificate of incorporation), and (y) the fair market value (determined in accordance with subparagraph 1) above) of the share(s) of Common Stock (including fractional shares) into which such share of Preferred Stock is convertible on the date of Executive’s termination of employment;

(3) the fair market value of each Vested Security that is a Common Unit shall be equal to the fair market value of the assets (as determined in accordance with subparagraphs (1), (2) and (5) of this subparagraph (B)) that would be distributed according to the terms of the LLC Agreement with respect to such Common Unit if the LLC were dissolved and liquidated on the date of Executive’s termination of employment; and

(4) the fair market value of each Vested Security that is an Investors LLC Common Unit shall be equal to the fair market value of the assets (as determined in accordance with subparagraphs (1), (2) and (5) of this subparagraph (B)) that would be distributed according to the terms of the Investors LLC Agreement with respect to such Investors LLC Common Unit if Investors LLC were dissolved and liquidated on the date of Executive’s termination of employment; and

(5) the fair market value of any other non-publicly-traded Vested Securities (or, for purposes of subparagraph (3) and (4) above, any other assets) shall be the fair market value of such securities (or other assets), determined on the basis of an orderly, arm’s length sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer, taking into account all relevant factors determinative of value.

-7-

The three investment bankers/appraisers shall, within thirty (30) days of their retention, provide the written results of such appraisals to the LLC and/or its assignees and to each of the holders of Vested Securities to be repurchased.

(C) The “Fair Market Value” of the non-publicly-traded Vested Securities to be repurchased shall be the average of the two appraisals closest to each other (or the appraisal which is neither the greatest nor the least in amount, if no two appraisals are closest in amount), and such amount shall be final and binding on all parties hereto; provided that the LLC (and/or any of its assignees) may at any time within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of such determination rescind its prior exercise of the Call Option (if any) by giving written notice of such revocation to the holder or holders of the Vested Securities to be repurchased, and upon such revocation the revoking party will be treated as if it had never exercised such Call Option (it being understood that such revoking parties shall thereafter have no right to re-exercise such Call Option with respect to such Vested Securities).

(D) The costs of such appraisal shall be allocated between the parties based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party; provided that if any party revokes its exercise of the Call Option pursuant to subparagraph (C) above, such revoking parties shall bear (pro rata among all such revoking parties based on the number of Vested Securities with respect to which each revoking party had initially exercised its Call Option) any appraisal costs that would otherwise be allocated to the holder(s) of Vested Securities under this subparagraph (D) had such revoking parties not revoked their exercise of the Call Option.

(iv) Within ten (10) business days after the Fair Market Value of the Vested Securities to be repurchased (if any) has been determined, the LLC shall send a notice to each holder of Vested Securities to be repurchased setting forth the consideration to be paid for such Vested Securities and the aggregate amount to be paid for all Executive Securities to be repurchased (including all Vested Securities and Unvested Securities) and the time and place for the closing of the transaction, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days nor less than five (5) days after the delivery of such notice; provided that the LLC or any other purchaser may elect to require that such Transfer be consummated effective as of the first day of the next succeeding month.

(h) Closing of the Repurchase. At the closing of any repurchase to be made pursuant to a Call Notice or a Put Notice, the purchasers of the Executive Securities to be repurchased shall be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers of such Executive Securities (including regarding good title to such securities, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances) and to require that signatures be guaranteed by a national bank or reputable securities broker. At the closing of any repurchase to be made pursuant to a Call Notice or a Put Notice, the holders of Executive Securities shall deliver to the LLC (and/or any of its assignees) all certificates (if any) evidencing the Executive Securities to be repurchased, and the LLC (and/or any

-8-

of its assignees) shall pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased pursuant to the Call Option or the Put Option by delivery of a check or checks or wire transfer(s) of immediately available funds in the aggregate amount of the Repurchase Price for such Executive Securities; provided that the LLC may pay all or a portion of the Repurchase Price by offsetting amounts outstanding under the Executive Note issued to the LLC hereunder; and provided further that in the event the Board determines in its good faith discretion that the LLC is not in a position to pay in cash all of the Repurchase Price for the Executive Securities to be repurchased by it:

(i) prior to the dissolution and liquidation of Investors LLC, the LLC may pay a portion of the Repurchase Price for any Vested Securities to be repurchased by the LLC equal to (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Vested Securities to be repurchased by the LLC minus (y) the aggregate Original Cost of such Vested Securities, by issuing in exchange for such Vested Securities an equal number of Class C Units (or, after the Management Rollup, Investors LLC Class C Units) having the relative rights, powers and duties set forth in the LLC Agreement (or the Investors LLC Agreement, as applicable), and for purposes of the LLC Agreement (or the Investors LLC Agreement, as applicable) such Class C Units (or, after the Management Rollup, Investors LLC Class C Units) shall as of its date of issuance be deemed to have aggregate Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class C Units (or Investors LLC Class C Units, as applicable) equal to (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Vested Securities repurchased by the LLC minus (y) the aggregate Original Cost of such Vested Securities; or

(ii) after the dissolution and liquidation of Investors LLC, the Company (as successor to the rights of Investors LLC pursuant to Section 7(i) below) may pay, in the form of a promissory note, a portion of the Repurchase Price for such securities equal to (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value for the Vested Securities to be repurchased by the LLC minus (y) the aggregate Original Cost of such Vested Securities. Such promissory note shall be subordinated to all of the Company’s senior and senior subordinated debt obligations either then or thereafter incurred, shall earn simple annual interest at the Base Rate, shall have all principal and accrued interest due and payable upon maturity, and shall mature upon the earliest to occur of the Company’s initial Public Offering (if such initial Public Offering has not occurred prior to the issuance of such promissory note), a Sale of the Company, or the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such promissory note.

(i) Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Securities by the LLC shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and in the Company Parties’ debt and equity financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Securities hereunder which the LLC is otherwise entitled or required to make, the time periods provided in this Section 3 shall be suspended, and the LLC may (or in the event of the exercise of a Put Option shall) make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions, unless by such time the Call Option has terminated

-9-

pursuant to Section 3(k) below; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the time periods provided in this Section 3 be suspended for more than 6 months.

(j) Make Whole. If within twelve months following the date of the termination of Executive’s employment by the Company Parties without Cause or as a result of Executive’s death or Disability or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason (i) a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering occurs and (ii) the distributions per unit received (whether or not received within such twelve month period) in the liquidation of Investors LLC by holders of vested Common Units in respect of their vested Common Units or the public offering price per share of common stock of the Company (net of any underwriting discounts but including the fair market value of all dividends and distributions declared or paid by the Company to the holders of Common Stock after the date of Executive’s termination of employment to and including the date of such transaction), as the case may be, exceed the price per unit paid for any Vested Securities as determined in accordance with subparagraph (g) above, each seller of Vested Securities shall be entitled to receive an upward adjustment in the Repurchase Price for the Vested Securities sold by such seller, if any, pursuant to a Call Notice. The excess of (x) the amount which such sellers of Vested Securities would have received in such Sale of the Company or Public Offering assuming the sale in such transaction of all Vested Securities purchased pursuant to such Call Notice, over (y) the amount which such sellers of Vested Securities received from the sale of Vested Securities upon exercise of the Call Option (the amount of such excess, the “Additional Proceeds”) shall be paid to the applicable seller of Vested Securities by the buyer thereof by certified or cashier’s check or wire transfer of funds to the applicable seller of Vested Securities upon consummation of such Sale of the Company (or at such later time as holders of Investors LLC Common Units receive the distributions described in clause (ii) above) or upon the consummation of such Public Offering, as the case may be.

(k) Termination and Clarification. The rights under this Section 3 of the LLC and/or its assignees to repurchase Vested Securities pursuant to a Call Option shall terminate upon the consummation of a Public Offering or a Qualified Sale of the Company (it being understood that such rights shall (to the extent otherwise applicable) continue to apply after such consummation to all Unvested Securities until such Unvested Securities become Vested Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions in Section 7(i) hereof shall apply to this Section 3 (and all other Sections of this Agreement).

Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Opinion of Valid Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement, the Unitholders Agreement, the LLC Agreement or (as applicable) the Investors LLC Agreement, no holder of Executive Securities may Transfer any Executive Securities (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the LLC an opinion of legal counsel which (to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Board)

-10-

that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.

(b) Restrictive Legend. The certificates (if any) representing Executive Securities shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON MARCH 28,2000, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND REPURCHASE OPTIONS SET FORTH IN AN EXECUTIVE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER” ), THE INITIAL HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities which cease to be Executive Securities.

(i) Executive shall not Transfer (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) any interest in any Executive Securities, except pursuant to (A) the repurchase provisions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, (B) the “Tag-Along Rights” and the “Management Rollup” provisions set forth in the Unitholders Agreement, (C) a Sale of the Company or (D) any pledge pursuant to Section 1 hereof, (each of (A), (B), (C) and (D), an “Exempt Transfer”).

(ii) The restrictions contained in this paragraph (c) shall not apply to Transfers of Executive Securities (A) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (B) among Executive’s Family Group; provided that the restrictions contained in this paragraph (c) shall continue to be applicable to the Executive Securities after any such Transfer, the Transferees of such Executive Securities shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Executive Securities so Transferred, and (prior to the death of Executive) each such Transferee of Executive Securities shall have entered into proxies and other agreements reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Major Investor Equity pursuant to which Executive shall have the sole right to vote such Executive Securities for all purposes. For purposes of this

-11-

Agreement, “Family Group” means Executive’s spouse, descendants (whether natural or adopted), parents, spouse’s parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, any spouse of the foregoing (collectively, the “Family”), any trust which at the time of such Transfer and at all times thereafter is and remains solely for the benefit of such Executive and/or such Executive’s Family and any family partnership the partners of which consist solely of such Executive and/or such Executive’s Family or such trusts.

(iii) The restrictions on the Transfer of Executive Securities set forth in this paragraph (c) shall continue with respect to each Executive Security following any Transfer thereof (other than an Exempt Transfer); provided that upon the consummation of a Public Offering the restrictions set forth in this paragraph (c) shall thereafter cease to apply to all Vested Securities (it being understood that such restrictions shall continue to apply after such consummation to all Unvested Securities until such Unvested Securities become Vested Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Confidentiality, Noncompete, and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Confidential Information. Executive shall not disclose or use at any time, either during Executive’s employment with any of the Company Parties or thereafter, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which Executive is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by Executive, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by Executive’s performance of duties assigned to Executive by the any of the Company Parties: provided that nothing herein shall restrict Executive from disseminating personal knowledge gained during the course of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties after the second anniversary of the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Parties to the extent such personal knowledge is not the property of any of the Company Parties. Executive shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by any of the Company Parties in connection with their business, including but not limited to (i) products or services, (ii) fees, costs and pricing structures, (iii) designs, (iv) analysis, (v) drawings, photographs and reports, (vi) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (vii) flow charts, manuals and documentation, (viii) data bases, (ix) accounting and business methods, (x) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, (xi) customers and clients and customer or client lists, (xii) copyrightable works, (xiv) all technology and trade secrets, (xv) business plans and financial models, and (xvi) all similar and related information in whatever form.

Information shall not be deemed to have been published merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features constituting such information have been published in combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information (a) of

-12-

which Executive became aware prior to Executive’s affiliation with the any of the Company Parties (b) of which Executive learns from sources other than the Company Parties, whether prior to or after such information is actually disclosed by any of the Company Parties, or (c) which is disclosed in a prospectus or other documents for dissemination to the public.

(i) Acknowledgment of Company Ownership. In the event that Executive as part of Executive’s activities on behalf of any of the Company Parties generates, authors or contributes to any invention, design, new development, device, product, method or process (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice or constituting Confidential Information), any copyrightable work (whether or not constituting Confidential Information) or any other form of Confidential Information relating directly or indirectly to any of the Company Parties’ business as now or hereafter conducted (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), Executive acknowledges that such Intellectual Property is the exclusive property of such Company Party and hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property to such Company Party. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by Executive will be deemed “a work made for hire” under Section 201 (b) of the 1976 Copyright Act, and the Company Party shall own all of the rights comprised by the copyright therein.

Therefore, pursuant to Code §83(b) and Treasury Regulation §1.83-2 promulgated thereunder, the undersigned hereby makes an election with respect to the Units (as described in paragraph 2 below), to report as taxable income for calendar year 2000 the excess (if any) of the Units’ fair market value on March 28, 2000 over the purchase price thereof.

The following information is supplied in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.83-2(e):

Roswell, GA 30075

ANNEX B

Illustration

Executive “A” owns 500,000 Common Units for which he paid $125,000.

The LLC is dissolved on a date after March 1, 2001 but prior to March 1, 2002 and shares of the Company are distributed to the Unitholders, at which time 200,000 (i.e., 40%) of Executive A’s Common Units are vested.

In that liquidating distribution, assuming the Management Rollup has occurred, Executive A receives 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company in respect of his 500,000 Common Units.

Under the facts described above, the following would be the case:

(1)

Of the 2,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock distributed to Executive A in respect of his Common Units, 800,000 shares (i.e., 40%) would be “Vested Securities” for purposes of his Executive Purchase Agreement, and 1,200,000 shares would be “Unvested Securities” for that purpose, in each case as of the time of the liquidating distribution.

(2)
