1.

During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 365 days thereafter (the "Initial Lockup Period"), sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock of the Corporation resulting from the exercise of that portion of the Accelerated Stock Options granted to the undersigned on June 14, 2016; and

From and after the end of the Second Lockup Period, the undersigned shall be under no further restriction pursuant to this Lockup Agreement and shall be entitled, at his discretion, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly any portion or all of the remaining 50,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation resulting from the exercise of that portion of the Accelerated Stock Options granted to the undersigned on June 14, 2016.

The restrictions contained in this Lockup Agreement shall not apply, and the undersigned shall be free to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock of the Corporation resulting from the exercise of the Accelerated Stock Options without regard to the Initial Lockup Period or the Second Lockup Period in the event that Section 6.4 of the Employment Agreement is effective to cause the accelerated vesting of any stock options granted to the undersigned, or in the event that any comparable section of any amendment, modification, restatement, substitute or replacement employment agreement between the Company and the undersigned is in effect that has the result of automatically vesting any stock options granted to the undersigned.
