14


the Transaction Agreements or with the subscription for and purchase of the Shares, except as required pursuant to the HSR Act.

The Shares shall be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation or otherwise distributing the Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. The Investor does not have and will not have as of the Closing any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to a Person any of the Shares.
5.6    Disclosure of Information. The Investor has had the opportunity to review the Company SEC Documents and has received all the information from the Company and its management that the Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares hereunder.

5.9    Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares, when issued, shall be “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect (“Rule 144”).

18


of the Shares, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Investor or its Affiliates from transferring Lock-Up Securities to an Affiliate of the Investor if such transferee Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Section 8.1 shall not prohibit or restrict any disposition of Lock-Up Securities by the Investor in connection with (i) a bona fide tender offer by a Third Party which is not opposed by the Company’s Board of Directors (but only after the Company’s filing of a Schedule 14D-9, or any amendment thereto, with the SEC disclosing the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to such tender offer), (ii) an issuer tender offer by the Company or (iii) the Company’s public announcement of a definitive agreement to consummate an Acquisition Transaction. All restrictions pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) shall terminate upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(b)    Until the end of the Lock-up Period, the Investor agrees that in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities involving an underwritten public offering that, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities, the Investor will deliver its written agreement not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time not exceeding 90 days within the Lock-Up Period as the Company or the underwriters may specify. The provisions of this Section 8.1(b) shall be applicable to the Investor only if all of the Company’s (i) executive officers, (ii) directors and (iii) stockholders that beneficially own a greater percentage of the Company’s voting securities than the Investor are subject to the same restrictions.
8.2    Standstill. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (the “Standstill Term”), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Standstill Parties”) shall (and the Investor shall cause its Affiliates not to), except as expressly approved or invited in writing by the Company:

(b)    directly or indirectly, seek to have called any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, propose or nominate for election to the Company’s Board of Directors any person whose nomination has not been approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors or cause to be voted in favor of such person proposed or nominated by the Investor for election to the Company’s Board of Directors any shares of Common Stock;
19


(c)         directly or indirectly, knowingly encourage or support a tender, exchange or other offer or proposal by any Third Party with respect to shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock; provided, however, that from and after the filing of a Schedule 14D-9 (or successor form of Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement under Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act) by the Company recommending that stockholders accept any such offer or proposal, Investor shall not be prohibited from taking any of the actions otherwise prohibited by this Section 8.2(c) only for so long as the Company maintains and does not withdraw such recommendation;
(d)    directly or indirectly, solicit proxies or consents or become a participant in a solicitation (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) in opposition to the recommendation of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to any matter, or seek to advise or influence any Person, with respect to voting of any shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Standstill Parties may solicit proxies or consents and may become a participant in a solicitation in connection with any proposal that would adversely affect the Investor’s rights under the Transaction Agreements [***] (it being agreed that the foregoing proviso shall not relate to proposals for the nomination and/or election of directors and Company Equity Plans (as defined below));
(e)         deposit any shares of Common Stock in a voting trust or subject any shares of Common Stock to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of Common Stock;
(f)         propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Company’s assets or businesses, or any Change of Control transaction involving the Company or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company;
(g)    act in concert with any Third Party to take any action in clauses (a) through (f) above, or form, join or in any way participate in a “partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act;

(i)    request or propose to the Company’s Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), any member(s) thereof or any officer of the Company that the Company
20


amend, waive, or consider the amendment or waiver of, any provisions set forth in this Section 8.2 (including this clause (i));

Neither (x) transfers or resales of the Shares by the Investor to any other person in compliance with Section 8.5 or (y) the mere voting of the Shares subject to Section 8.3 will be deemed to be a breach of the Investor’s standstill obligations under this Section 8.2.
(j)         Section 8.2 shall terminate and have no further force or effect, upon the earliest to occur of:
(i)    provided that none of the Standstill Parties has violated Section 8.2, the public announcement by the Company or any Third Party of any definitive agreement between the Company and such Third Party and/or any of its Affiliates providing for a Change of Control;
(ii)    a Third Party commences a tender offer seeking to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and the Board of Directors of the Company has publicly supported the proposal or recommended that the stockholders tender their Common Stock in such tender offer;
(iii)    (x) a bona fide tender offer by a Third Party which is not opposed by the Company’s Board of Directors (but only after the Company’s filing of a Schedule 14D-9, or any amendment thereto, with the SEC disclosing the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to such tender offer), or (y) an issuer tender offer by the Company; provided that Section 8.2 shall be reinstated and apply in full force according to its terms if any event set forth in this clause (iii), which resulted in the termination of Section 8.2 is not completed or if such announced transaction is abandoned and no similar transaction has been announced and not abandoned; or
21


(iv)    the expiration of the Standstill Term;
provided, however, that if Section 8.2 terminates due to (x) clause (i) above and such definitive agreement is abandoned and no other definitive agreement providing for a Change in Control has been announced and not abandoned or terminated within ninety days thereafter or (y) clause (ii) above and the tender offer is withdrawn or abandoned or the Board of Directors of the Company withdraws its recommendation in favor of such tender offer prior to the completion of the tender offer, the restrictions contained in Section 8.2 shall again be applicable until otherwise terminated pursuant to this Section 8.2(j).
8.3    Voting. Until the end of the Lock-Up Period, Investor shall vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Investor, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors on any matters presented to the Company’s stockholders with respect to any stock option, stock incentive, employee stock purchase or similar equity plan, or any amendment thereto (any such plan, a “Company Equity Plan”), whether or not for the purpose of establishing such a Company Equity Plan or increasing the number of shares of Common Stock that may be awarded or sold thereunder.

If one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction, and such term or provision will be considered severed from this Agreement solely for such situation and solely in such jurisdiction, unless the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision is of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision. If the final judgment of such court declares that any term or provision hereof is void, invalid, or unenforceable, the Parties agree to: (a) reduce the scope, duration, area, or applicability of the term or provision or to delete specific words or phrases to the minimum extent necessary to cause such term or provision as so reduced or amended to be enforceable; and (b) make a good-faith effort to
26


replace any void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
9.8    Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by a Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided, however, that the Investor may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a Third Party acquiring [***] of its Shares in a transaction complying with applicable securities laws without the prior written consent of the Company, provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to Investor. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to the securities received by the Investor in connection with such transaction. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
9.9    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document. All such counterparts will be deemed an original, will be construed together, and will constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of facsimile by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg, or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) will be treated in all manners and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party hereto will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
9.10    Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no express or implied Third Party beneficiaries hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the Parties, and no other Person or entity will have any right or claim against any Party by reason of these provisions or be entitled to enforce any of these provisions against any Party.
9.11    No Presumption Against Drafter. Each of the Parties has jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event there arises any ambiguity or question or intent or interpretation with respect to this Agreement, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all of the Parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

9.12    Survival of Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for twelve months, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5(a), 4.6(b)-(d), 4.8, 4.12, 4.13, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.9 and 5.10, which shall survive the Closing.
9.13    Waiver. The failure of any Party to insist on the performance of any obligation hereunder will not be deemed to be a waiver of such obligation. Waiver of any breach of any provision hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provision on such occasion or any succeeding occasion. No waiver, modification, release, or amendment of any obligation under or provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by the Parties.
9.14    Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which such Parties may have under any other agreement or Law. No single or partial assertion or exercise of any right, power or remedy of a Party hereunder shall preclude any other or further assertion or exercise thereof.
9.15    Expenses. Each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements.
9.16    Public Announcement. The Parties agree that the provisions of Section 12.5 of the License Agreement shall be applicable to the Parties with respect to any public disclosures regarding the proposed transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the License Agreement or regarding the Parties hereto or their Affiliates (it being understood that the provisions of Section 12.5 of the License Agreement shall be read to apply to disclosures of information relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby).
