During the Lock-Up Period, the Shares shall not be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void. The parties expressly agree that the restrictions described in this Section 2(a) preclude the Participant from engaging in any hedging or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to, or result in, a sale, disposition, or purchase of any of the Shares during the Lock-Up Period and that such prohibited hedging or other transactions include without limitation any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale, or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Shares.
