To the extent that the Company shall be required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amount in connection with the issuance of the RSUs, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the RSUs that Grantee shall pay such taxes or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof.

12. Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
13. Relation to Plan; Amendments. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.

Grantee hereby agrees that Grantee shall not (a) lend, 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, directly or indirectly, any of the Common Stock held by Grantee or any other securities of the Company held by Grantee that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (b) enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Common Stock (or other securities), whether any
such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, for a period specified by the Company and/or the representative of the underwriters managing the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock or any subsequent offering of securities of the Company (an “Offering”), without the prior written consent of the Company or such representative of the underwriters, provided that such lock-up time period shall not exceed 180 days from the effective date of such initial public offering, or, in the case of subsequent offerings of securities, 90 days from the effective date of such subsequent offering, and any extension required by rules and regulations applicable to the underwriters. In addition, Grantee hereby waives any registration rights Grantee may have with respect to any Offering of the Common Stock, whether pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement or otherwise.
