1. Lock-Up by the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, without prior written consent of the Company, from the Effective Date until the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Lock-Up Period”) will not make, offer to make, agree to make, or suffer any Disposition (as defined below) of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares or any interest therein.

2. Restriction On Proxies and Non-Interference. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, during the Lock-Up Period, Shareholder will not (i) grant any proxies or powers of attorney that would permit any such proxy or attorney-in-fact to take any action inconsistent herewith; (ii) deposit the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to the Shares; or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Shareholder untrue or incorrect or would result in a breach by that Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Shareholder further agrees not to enter into any agreement or understanding with any other person or entity, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of any provision contained in this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company the following:

a. Ownership of Shares. Shareholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares. Shareholder has sole voting power and sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matter set forth in this Agreement, sole power of disposition, and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of such Shares, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.

b. Authorization. Shareholder has the requisite legal capacity and competency, and the full legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms except (i) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

 

1

c. No Conflicts. Except for filings, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended , (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any state or federal governmental authority, or any other person or entity, is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by Shareholder and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will (A) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, loan agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder or any of its properties or assets may be bound, or (B) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, statute, role or regulation applicable to such Shareholder or any of his properties or assets.

d. No Encumbrances. Shareholder owns the Shares free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, or any other encumbrances whatsoever, except for (i) any such matters arising hereunder and (ii) bona fide pledges of such shares as security for obligations owed to the Company.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company has been authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and will not violate any other agreement to which the Company is a party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws.

5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the Parties.

6. Certain Events. Shareholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to his Company stock and shall be binding upon any other person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, such Shareholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors. Notwithstanding any such transfer of the Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations under this Agreement of the transferor.

7. Rights of Assignees; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person or entity other than the Parties or their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors or permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

8. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered by the non-breaching Party in the event this Agreement is breached. Therefore, each Party agrees that the non-breaching Party may obtain specific performance of this Agreement without the necessity of establishing irreparable harm or posting any bond, and will be in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

9. Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a Party of any breach hereof for default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.

2

10. Attorneys’ Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court (including without limitation, costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be the party entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment. A party not entitled to recover its costs shall not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees. No sum for attorneys’ fees shall be counted in calculating the amount of a judgment for purposes of determining if a party is entitled to recover costs or attorneys’ fees.

11. Section Headings. Headings contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, or extend the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

12. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law principles, applicable to a contract executed and to be performed in the State of New York. Each Party hereto (i) agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction and to waive any objection as to venue in the state or federal courts located in New York county, New York, (ii) agrees that any action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in such courts, unless subject matter jurisdiction or personal jurisdiction cannot be obtained, and (iii) agrees that service of process on any party in any such action shall be effective if made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Party at the address specified herein, or to any other addresses as he, she or it may from time to time specify to the other Parties in writing for such purpose. The exclusive choice of forum set forth in this paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such judgment in any appropriate jurisdiction.

13. Independent Counsel and Rules of Construction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that they have been advised to, and have had the opportunity to, seek independent counsel and advice with respect to the terms of this Agreement. As such, this Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s length between persons sophisticated and knowledgeable in these types of matters. Additionally, any normal rules of construction that would require a court to resolve matters of ambiguities against the drafting party are hereby waived and shall not apply in interpreting this Agreement.

14. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be sent to the address or email address set forth on the signature page hereto.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
