“Notwithstanding the forgoing, (A) with respect to any shares subject to your
Award that vested between (and including) January 1, 2012 and December 13, 2012
(the “2012 Vesting Tranche”), the Company will deliver to you a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the 2012 Vesting Tranche on December 13, 2012. In
addition, if on December 13, 2012 you are precluded under the Company’s policy
regarding insider trading from engaging in market transactions involving the
Company’s Common Stock, then you may elect to sell to the Company, and the
Company will purchase from you, a whole number of shares of Common Stock equal
as nearly as possible to 40% of the shares that will be issued to you on
December 13, 2012 pursuant to this Section 1, at a price per share equal to the
Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Common Stock on such date. You may
elect to sell shares to the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence by
notifying the Company in writing (including email) of such election prior to
December 10, 2013. The Company will remit promptly to you the aggregate purchase
price for the shares of Common Stock so purchased at the address on file with
the Company and will distribute the balance of the shares underlying the RSUs in
the manner provided in this Section 1of the Agreement.”
