vested RSUs through the sale by the Executive in the open market of a number of
shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs up to the maximum applicable
withholding rate. As permitted by law and subject to any required consents
(including under any applicable agreements of the Company), on or before each
Settlement Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) to allow Executive (and if permitted by the Company,
other executives) to settle a number of vested RSUs sufficient to cover his
employment tax obligation arising in connection with the settlement of his
vested RSUs in the open market pursuant to such Form S-8. By signing this
Amendment, Executive acknowledges receipt and understands the terms of the
Company’s Insider Trading Policy. The Company may withhold from any amounts
payable hereunder any applicable federal, state, and local taxes that the
Company is required withhold pursuant to any applicable law.

Company’s prior written consent, so long as the purchaser complies with the
provisions of the Agreement and this Exhibit D.

 

In addition, during the Early Vesting Lock-Up Period, Executive will not,

acquired in open market transactions; and (ii) Executive shall be permitted to
engage in any Disposition (x) where such Disposition is in connection with
estate planning purposes or by will or intestacy, including, without limitation
to an inter-vivos trust and the transferee takes title to such shares subject to
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, (y) upon the written
approval of the Company and the lead underwriter in any underwritten public
offering of Company’s securities for gross proceeds to the Company of at least
$50 million, or (z) where such Disposition is to an affiliate of Executive
(including entities wholly owned by Executive or one or more trusts where such
Executive is the grantor of such trust(s)), and with respect to each clause (x)
through (z) above (inclusive), as long as such transferee agrees to the same
lock-up terms and conditions as set forth in the Agreement and in this Exhibit
D.
