11.1 If Optionee (“Transferor”), or any assignee of Option Shares issued to Optionee upon exercise of this Award Agreement; proposes to sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, make gifts of or in any manner dispose of, encumber, or alienate (each individually constituting a “Transfer”) to a transferee, any Option Shares, obtained in connection with this Award Agreement, either pursuant to a bona fide offer (“Offer”) from a potential transferee (“Offeror”) or by effecting a gift of the Option Shares (“Gift”) to a donee (“Donee”) without consideration, then the Transferor must comply with the provisions of this Section 11 including, without limitation, acknowledging and allowing the applicable time periods to lapse with respect to the rights of the Company as provided herein, before accepting any such Offer or otherwise affecting the Transfer of any Option Shares pursuant to such Offer, or affecting any such Gift.

(a) Statement of Offer. Before accepting any Offer or affecting any Gift, the Transferor shall obtain from the Offeror or Donee, as the case may be, a statement (“Statement”) in writing addressed to the Transferor and signed by the Offeror or Donee, setting forth: (A) the date of the Statement (the “Statement Date”); (B) the number of Option Shares covered by the Offer or Gift and, in the case of an Offer, the price per share to be paid by the Offeror and the terms of payment of such price; (C) the Offeror’s or Donee’s willingness to be bound by the terms of this Section 11 and execute and deliver to the Company such documentation as required under this Section 11; (D) the Offeror’s or Donee’s name, address and telephone number; and (E) the Offeror’s or Donee’s willingness to supply any additional information about himself or herself as may be reasonably requested by the Company. Promptly upon receipt of a Statement, and before accepting the Offer or affecting the Gift to which the Statement relates, the Transferor shall deliver to the Company (1) a copy of the Statement, and (2) in the case of an Offer, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company as to the Offeror’s financial ability to consummate the proposed purchase.

(b) Company Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a), upon receipt of a copy of the Statement, the Company shall have the exclusive right and option (the “Right”), but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Option Shares that the Offeror proposes to purchase from the Transferor or, in the case of a Gift, that the Transferor proposes to give to the Donee (collectively, “Subject Securities”) (A) in the case of an Offer, for the per share price and on the terms as set forth in the Statement; provided, however, that if the purchase price is payable in whole or in part in property (which term shall include the securities of any issuer other than the Company) other than cash, the Company may pay, in lieu of such property, a sum of cash equal to the fair market value of such property as determined by the Transferor and the Company in good faith or, if the Transferor and the Company do not agree on the fair market value of such property within five days after the Company delivers written notice (as described below) of its intention to exercise the Right, then the Transferor and the Company shall select one independent appraiser (with each of the Transferor and the Company jointly bearing one-half of the expense of the appraiser) to determine the fair market value of that property and the appraised fair market value of that property as determined by such appraiser shall be deemed the fair market value of that property for purposes of this Section 11(b) or (B) in the case of a Gift, the Fair Market Value of the Subject Securities, as determined in good faith by the Company; provided that the Transferor may elect to retain the Subject Securities rather than sell the Subject Securities at the Fair Market Value as determined by the Company by giving written notice thereof to the Company within five days after such determination by the Company is received in writing by the Transferor. The Company shall exercise the Right by giving written notice thereof to the Transferor. Upon exercising the Right, the Company shall have the obligation, to the extent it lawfully may do so, to purchase the Subject Securities within 30 days after the date of the Company’s receipt of its copy of the Statement on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof. If the terms of the purchase include the Transferor’s release of any pledge or encumbrance on the Subject Securities and the Transferor shall have failed to obtain the release of the pledge or encumbrance by the purchase date, at the Company’s option the purchase shall occur on the scheduled date with the purchase price reduced to the extent of all unpaid indebtedness for which the Subject Securities are then pledged or encumbered. Failure by the Company to exercise the Right, or failure by the Company to otherwise perform its obligations under this Section 11(b), within the 30-day period herein prescribed shall be deemed an election by the Company not to exercise the Right. If the Company exercises the Right and is unable for any reason to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with this Section 11, the Company may assign all or a portion of its rights under the Right to any one or more of the Company’s stockholders (other than the Transferor) (“Assignee Stockholder”), as the Board shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion.

3

(c) Purchase of Less Than All Shares. Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and any Assignee Stockholder individually may, pursuant to the exercise of the Right, purchase fewer than all of the Subject Securities provided that such Persons in the aggregate purchase all, and not less than all, of the Subject Securities, and it shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of any of such Persons to purchase any Subject Securities, that all, and not less than all, of the Subject Securities have been elected to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Right.

(d) Failure to Exercise Right or Consummate Transaction. If the Company elects not to exercise the Right, or if the Right is exercised and the obligations to be performed thereunder by the Company are not performed in accordance with this Section 11, or if the Company’s rights are assigned to an Assignee Stockholder and such Assignee Stockholder fails to perform his or her obligations under the assigned Right in accordance with this Section 11, then, subject to the application of any applicable state or federal securities laws, the Transferor may dispose of all of the Subject Securities within 90 days after the date of the Statement at the per share price and on the terms, if any, as set forth in the Statement free and clear of the terms of this Section 11; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent transfer by the Offeror or Donee, as applicable, shall once again be subject to this Section 11 and (B) if the sale or gift of the Subject Securities is not consummated within such 90-day period, then the Transfer of any such Option Shares shall once again be subject to the terms of this Section 11.

(e) Expiration. The rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 11 hereof will terminate upon the date of a Qualifying Public Offering. “Qualifying Public Offering” means a firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock for cash where the shares of stock registered under the Securities Act are listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System.

12. PURCHASE OPTION. If (i) Optionee ceases to be employed by or perform services for the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason at any time or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company (and/or its designee(s)) shall have the option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase, and the Optionee (or the Optionee’s executor or the administrator of the Optionee’s estate in the event of the Optionee’s death, or the transferee of the Option Shares or Award in the case of any disposition, or the Optionee’s legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity) (hereinafter, collectively with such Optionee, the “Grantor”) shall sell to the Company and/or its designee(s), all or any portion (at the Company’s option) of the Option Shares issued pursuant to the Plan and held by the Grantor (such Option Shares herein referred to as the “Purchasable Shares”).

(a) The Company shall give notice in writing to the Grantor of the exercise of the Purchase Option within one year of the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service relationship or the date of the Change in Control. Such notice shall state the number of Purchasable Shares to be purchased and the determination of the Board of the Fair Market Value per share of such Purchasable Shares, or the Change in Control Price, if applicable. If no notice is given within the time limit specified above, the Purchase Option shall terminate.

4

(b) The purchase price to be paid for the Purchasable Shares purchased pursuant to the Purchase Option shall be, the Fair Market Value per share, or the Change in Control Price if applicable, as of the date of the notice of exercise of the Purchase Option times the number of shares being purchased. The purchase price shall be paid in cash. The closing of such purchase shall take place at the Company’s principal executive offices within ten (10) days after the purchase price has been determined. At such closing, the Grantor shall deliver to the purchasers the certificates or instruments evidencing the Purchasable Shares being purchased free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (if any), duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers) and otherwise in good form for delivery, against payment of the purchase price by check of the purchasers. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor shall have failed to obtain the release of any pledge or other encumbrance on any Purchasable Shares by the scheduled closing date, at the option of the purchasers, the closing shall nevertheless occur on such scheduled closing date, with the cash purchase price being reduced to the extent of all unpaid indebtedness for which such Purchasable Shares are then pledged or encumbered.

(c) The rights and obligations pursuant to this Section will terminate upon the date of a Qualifying Public Offering. “Qualifying Public Offering” means a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the common stock of the Company for cash where the shares of stock registered under the Securities Act are listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System.

13. “MARKET STAND-OFF” AGREEMENT. Optionee hereby agrees that in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company, during the period of duration (not to exceed 180 days or such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) days after the expiration of the 180-day period, as the Company or such underwriters shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711)) specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock of the Company following the effective date of the Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act with respect to such offering, he or she will not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by him or her at any time during such period except common stock included in such registration.
