Lock-Up Restrictions The Optionee hereby agrees to any lockup of the Shares which the Board of Directors of the Company requests when requested by an investment banker or underwriter providing financing to the Company.
Stock Restrictions Optionee understands that at the time of the execution of this Option Agreement, the shares of the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any state securities law, and that the Company currently does not intend to effect any such registration. Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall be purchased by Optionee for investment without a view to distribution within the meaning of the Act, and shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated unless such transfer has been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or the transfer duly qualifies for an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws. In any event, Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state. In addition, Optionee agrees that (i) the certificates representing the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option may bear such restrictive legend or legends as the Company's legal counsel deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, and (iii) the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Stock purchased under this Option.

Release of Restrictions Upon vesting of any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock and satisfaction of any other conditions required by the Plan or pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Company shall promptly either issue a stock certificate, without such restricted legend, for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have vested, or, if the shares are held in book entry form, the Company shall remove the notations on the book form for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have vested.
Standstill Restrictions Section 6.1 Until the later of (x) the time that the Investor’s Ownership Percentage is less than 25% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis and (y) the third anniversary of the date hereof (and, in the case of (iv) – (vii), only for so long as the designees of Investor under section 2.1(a) are seated on the Board pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.4(b) and other than with respect to the election of the Investor Designees), neither the Investor nor any Investor Affiliate shall (i) directly or indirectly acquire, agree to acquire, or offer to acquire, beneficial ownership of any equity securities of the Company, any warrant or option to purchase such securities, any security convertible into any such securities, or any other right to acquire such securities, other than the Preferred Shares, Warrant, Common Stock acquired upon conversion of such Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrant and any Preferred Shares or Common Stock paid as dividends or as an increase of the accrued liquidation payment amount or distributions thereon or as otherwise would not increase the Investor’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by greater than 1% on an as-converted basis, (ii) bring any action or otherwise act to contest the validity of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6, or seek a release of such restrictions, (iii) deposit any Preferred Shares or Common Stock in a voting trust or similar arrangement or subject any Preferred Shares or Common Stock to any voting agreement, pooling arrangement or similar arrangement, or grant any proxy with respect to any Preferred Shares or Common Stock to any person not affiliated with the Investor or Company management; (iv) make, or in any way participate or engage in, directly or indirectly, any solicitation of proxies to vote, or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Company or any of Subsidiary of the Company, (v) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company except for any group constituting solely of the Investor and Investor Affiliates, (vi) seek the removal of any directors from the Board or a change in the size or composition of the Board (including, without limitation, voting for any directors not nominated by the Board), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(b) and the Series A Certificate of Designations, (vii) call, request the calling of, or otherwise seek or assist in the calling of a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, (viii) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the foregoing or (ix) make, or take, any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Company to make a public announcement regarding any intention of the Investor to take an action that would be prohibited by the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the Investor from complying with applicable law or the ability of the Investor Designees or other directors appointed or elected to the Board pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations from exercising their fiduciary duties or powers as directors.
Issuance Restrictions (i) If the Company has not obtained the approval of its shareholders in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), then the Company may not issue upon exercise of this Warrant a number of Warrant Shares, which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock (i) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuable upon conversion of the Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; (iii) issuable upon prior exercise of this or any other Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (iv) issuable pursuant to any warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would exceed 19.99% shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of the Purchase Agreement (such number of shares, the “Issuable Maximum”). The Holder and the holders of the other Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Holder’s original Aggregate Purchase Price by (y) the aggregate original Aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Holder may allocate its pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum among Warrants held by it in its sole discretion. Such portion shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event a Holder no longer holds any Warrants and the amount of shares issued to such Holder pursuant to its Warrants was less than such Holder’s pro-rata share of the Issuable Maximum. For avoidance of doubt, unless and until any required approval of the Company’s shareholders of the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (“Shareholder Approval”) is obtained and effective, warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as described in clause (iii) above shall provide that such warrants shall not be allocated any portion of the Issuable Maximum and shall be unexercisable unless and until such Shareholder Approval is obtained and effective. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuance Restrictions of this Section 2 shall be inapplicable to any Warrants issued with an exercise price at the greater of the book or market value pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5635(d). The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
