The Equityholder (i) acknowledges that this letter agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the issuance and delivery of the Shares is being made pursuant to, the Stock Purchase Agreement and is subject to the further terms and conditions thereof, and (ii) understands that the Company is willing to proceed with this transaction only if the undersigned enters into this letter agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

(b)

(c)

In consideration of the consummation of the Transaction, including, without limitation, Equityholder’s receipt of the Shares and the other consideration set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Equityholder irrevocably agree that it will not (except pursuant to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction) directly or indirectly:
