(iii) any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document or Permitted General Solicitation Material, the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Purchasers, is listed as applicable on Schedule II(b), Schedule II(c) or Schedule II(d) hereto, respectively.
7. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Purchasers that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Companys counsel and accountants in connection with the issue of the Securities and the shares of Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Purchasers and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing any Agreement among Purchasers, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Call Spread Confirmations, the Securities, the Blue Sky Memorandum, closing documents (including any compilations thereof), Permitted General Solicitation Materials and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (iii) all reasonable and documented expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities and the shares of Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchasers in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky and legal investment surveys; (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities; (v) the cost of preparing the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities; (vii) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any road show presentation to potential purchasers of the Securities; provided that Company shall pay 50% of the cost of any airplane chartered in connection with the road show and the Purchasers shall pay the other 50% of such cost; (viii) any cost incurred in connection with the issuance, delivery and listing of the shares of Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities and the Warrant Shares; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section.

The obligations of the Purchasers hereunder, as to the Securities to be delivered at each Time of Delivery, shall be subject, in their discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of such Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(e) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Companys debt securities by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)62 of the Exchange Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Companys debt securities;

16
(g) The Company shall have executed and delivered the Indenture and the Securities, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall have received executed copies thereof.

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasers expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
17
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use therein; and each Purchaser will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and Offering Memorandum furnished on behalf of each Purchaser: the seventh paragraph of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and Offering Memorandum in the section titled Plan of Distribution.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection unless and to the extent it did not learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel (including local counsel) satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel (including local counsel) or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses,
18
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, in each case as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Purchasers obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director each Purchaser, any affiliate of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
19
10. (a) If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Memorandum, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term Purchaser as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and the Company to sell the Optional Securities) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.
11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, or the Company or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company , and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
20
12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers for all expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred and documented by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to you at Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198, Attention: Registration Department and BMO Capital Markets Corp., 3 Times Square, 28th Floor, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Legal Department (fax: 212 ###-###-####); and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Memorandum, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to such Purchaser at its address set forth in its Purchasers Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.
14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
16. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Purchaser, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between or among the Company and the Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
21
18. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
19. The Company and each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Use of Proceeds |
| We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $259.9 million (or approximately $289.0 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use approximately $25.7 million of the net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions described below (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds that we receive from entering into the warrant transactions described below). We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the Aggregate Purchase Price, to pay related fees and expenses related thereto and in the event that the Newmar Acquisition does not close, for general corporate purposes (which may include future acquisitions). If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then we intend to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional convertible note hedge transactions as described below (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds that we receive from entering into the additional warrant transactions described below) and for general corporate purposes. |
|
|
|
Concurrent Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions |
|
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates or other financial institutions (the option counterparties). The convertible note hedge transactions will cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Notes, and are expected generally to reduce or offset potential dilution to our |
2
|
| common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be. We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the option counterparties, under which we will sell to the option counterparties warrants relating to the same number of shares of our common stock. The strike price of the warrants will initially be $96.20 per share, which is 100% above the Last Reported Sale Price per Share of Common Stock on the NYSE on October 29, 2019, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrant transactions. The warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, we expect to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions and additional warrant transactions with the option counterparties, which would cover the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the additional Notes sold to the initial purchasers. |
|

| For a discussion of the potential impact of any market or other activity by the option counterparties or their respective affiliates in connection with these convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, see the discussion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption Risk FactorsRisks Related to the NotesThe convertible note hedge and warrant transactions may affect the value of the notes and our common stock. |

If such effective date or stock price is not set forth in the table above, then:
· if such stock price is between two stock prices in the table above or the effective date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the numbers of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices in the table and the earlier and later dates in the table above, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and
· if the stock price is greater than $250.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted, as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption Description of NotesConversion RightsIncrease in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental ChangeAdjustment of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares), or less than $48.10 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

(1) | The as adjusted figures in the table above do not give effect to the pending Newmar Acquisition, including our anticipated issuance of shares of our common stock, and use of a portion of the proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the Aggregate Purchase Price and related fees and expenses, nor do the figures reflect the consolidation of Newmars financial position and results of operations into our financial statements. For a pro forma presentation of the Newmar Acquisition, assuming it is consummated, see Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. |
(2) | Does not reflect (i) our expected use of approximately $25.7 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to fund the cost of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions described in this offering |

| memorandum, after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds that we receive from entering into the warrant transactions described in this offering memorandum; or (ii) our expected use of the remaining proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the cash portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price, and the related fees and expenses, in connection with the Newmar Acquisition, if it is consummated. |
(3) | Represents the principal amounts outstanding under our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility, without deduction for debt issuance costs. |
(4) | The amounts shown in the table above for the notes we are offering represent their principal amount. However, applicable accounting standards require separate accounting for the debt and equity components of convertible notes that, like the notes we are offering, can be settled partially or fully in cash upon conversion. We expect the initial carrying amount of the debt component of the notes, which will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheet, to be the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have a conversion feature (that is, the present value of the principal and interest payments on the notes, discounted using an interest rate equal to our cost of capital for straight, unconvertible debt), net of issuance costs attributable to the debt component. The excess of the net proceeds of the notes over this initial liability carrying amount will be deemed to be the equity component of the notes. We expect to record the amount of the equity component as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the stockholders equity section of our balance sheet and as a debt discount on the notes for accounting purposes. This debt discount will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the notes, which will result in lower reported net income or larger reported net loss. Future accounting standards may change the manner in which we reflect the notes in our financial statements. |
(5) | Does not reflect the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions described in this offering memorandum. We expect the cost of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds that we receive from entering into the warrant transactions, to be reflected as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital in the stockholders equity section of our balance sheet. |

Dear Ladies and Gentleman:
The undersigned, a stockholder, an officer and/or director of Winnebago Industries, Inc., an Iowa corporation (the Company), understands that Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp., Inc. (together, the Purchasers) propose to enter into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the Company providing for the private offering of Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the Offering), convertible into common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of the Company (the Common Stock), which will be offered pursuant to Rule 144A by means of an offering memorandum (the Offering Memorandum). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder [and an officer and/or director] of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Purchasers that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement (the Lock-Up Period), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, except pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the Companys Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the Lock-Up Securities), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Purchasers as follows, provided that (1) the Purchasers receive or have received a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lockup period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be (except in the case of clauses (iv) and (v)), (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value (except in the
case of clauses (iv) and (v)), (3) such transfers are not required during the Lock-Up Period to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (except in the case of clauses (iv), (v) and (vii)), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers during the Lock-Up Period (except in the case of clauses (iv), (v) and (vii)):
i. as a bona fide gift or gifts; or
ii. to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, immediate family shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or
iii. as a distribution to limited partners, stockholders or equity holders of the undersigned; or
iv. in connection with the withholding, receipt, exercise, cashless (or net) exercise (whether to cover exercise price, taxes or other fees and expenses), settlement, vesting or forfeiture of, or removal or lapse of restrictions on, any stock option, Common Stock issued upon exercise of a stock option, restricted share unit, restricted stock or other award pursuant to any employee benefit or director equity plan or agreement in existence as of the date hereof, so long as (x) such transaction or event does not involve the sale or transfer of any shares of Common Stock (other than from the undersigned to the Company), (y) any filing or public announcement made in connection therewith states that such transfer was to the Company in connection with such exercise or settlement, and (z) such right of exercise or settlement occurs or expires during the Lock-Up Period; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (iv) will expressly permit the cashless exercise of stock options due to expire during the term of this Agreement; provided, further, that the net proceeds of such exercise following the sale or transfer of any shares of Common Stock to cover the exercise price, taxes or other fees and expenses, shall be held in shares of Common Stock; or
v. in connection with the withholding of Common Stock or restricted share units by the Company, at the direction of the undersigned, for the payment of taxes in connection with the vesting or settlement of a stock option, restricted share unit, restricted stock or other award pursuant to any employee benefit or director equity plan or agreement in existence as of the date hereof; provided, that (x) such transaction or event does not involve the sale or transfer of any shares of Common Stock or restricted share units (other than from the undersigned to the Company), (y) any filing or public announcement made in connection therewith states that such transfer was to the Company in connection with such exercise, and (z) such right of vesting or settlement occurs or expires during the Lock-Up Period; or
vi. in connection with the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the purchase of shares of Common Stock, provided, that such plan does not provide for the purchase of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of
