such Units (calculated based on the price at which Common Stock is sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”, such price, the “IPO Price”),
the number of such Shares held by Peak LLC prior to the Dissolution and the relative rights and priorities applicable to the Units under Peak LLC’s organizational documents immediately prior to the Dissolution) is equal to (y) the
intrinsic value of all such Shares using the IPO Price. Any fractional Vested Shares or Restricted Shares will be settled in cash. 
 (b) If Participant’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated at any time, all Unvested Restricted Shares shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and canceled.

contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein 

(iii) The period of time during which the provisions of this Section 2(a) shall be in effect shall be extended by the
length of time during which the Participant is in breach of the terms hereof as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction on the Company’s application for injunctive relief.
