LOCKUP

Section 2.1 Lockup. (a) Each Stockholder Party agrees that such Stockholder Party shall not Transfer any Acquiror Equity Interest or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for any Acquiror Equity Interest (whether such Acquiror Equity Interest or any such securities are held by such Stockholder Party as of the date hereof or are thereafter acquired) from the date hereof and until the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Closing Date and (ii) subsequent to the Closing, the date on which (A) the closing price of the Acquiror Common Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or (y) Acquiror completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Acquiror Common Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-Up Period”). The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude each Stockholder Party during the Lock-up Period from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of such

 

2


Stockholder Party’s Acquiror Equity Interest even if such Acquiror Equity Interest would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions during the Lock-up Period would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Stockholder Party’s Acquiror Equity Interest or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Acquiror Equity Interest. For purposes of this agreement, “Transfer” means to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Acquiror Equity Interest, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Acquiror Equity Interest, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement specified in clause (i) or (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to:

(1) in the case of an entity, Transfers (A) to the Stockholder Party’s affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned or who shares a common investment advisor with the undersigned, or (B) distributions to members, partners, stockholders or equityholders of the undersigned;;

(2) in the case of an individual, Transfers by bona fide gift to a member of the Stockholder Party’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Stockholder Party or a member of the Stockholder Party’s immediate family or to a charitable organization controlled by the Stockholder Party;

(3) in the case of an individual, by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Stockholder Party;

(4) in the case of an individual, by operation of law or pursuant to a court order, such as a qualified domestic relations order, divorce decree or separation agreement;

(5) in the case of an individual, Transfers to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Stockholder Party and/or the Stockholder Party’s immediate family are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(6) in the case of an entity that is a trust, Transfers to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust;

(7) in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity;

(8) Transfers of any Acquiror Common Shares or other securities acquired as part of the PIPE Investment or issued in exchange for, or on conversion or exercise of, any securities issued as part of the PIPE Investment;

(9) Transfers relating to Acquiror Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Acquiror Common Shares acquired in open market transactions after the Closing Date, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-up Period;

 

3


(10) the exercise of any Acquiror Equity Interests to purchase Acquiror Common Shares (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis) or the settlement of any Acquiror Equity Interests with Acquiror Common Shares;

(11) Transfers to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;

(12) Transfers to Acquiror pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Merger that provides for the repurchase by Acquiror or forfeiture of Acquiror Common Shares or Acquiror Equity Interests convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Acquiror Common Shares in connection with the termination of the Stockholder Party’s service to Acquiror; and

(13) Transfers to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the Stockholder Party (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the Merger does not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes), in each case solely and to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a direct result of the transaction;

provided, in the case of clauses (1) through (7), where such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering the Form of Joinder Agreement set forth on Exhibit B to Aquiror. For purposes of this Lockup Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons.

(b) Each Stockholder Party also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with Acquiror’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any Acquiror Equity Interest except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions and to the addition of a legend to such Stockholder Party’s Acquiror Equity Interest describing the foregoing restrictions.
