2.             General Restrictions on
Transfer of Granted Shares.

 

(a)           Limitations on Transfer. The Granted
Shares acquired by the Participant hereunder Granted Shares shall not be
transferred by the Participant except as permitted herein, and shall be subject
to the repurchase rights described herein.

 

(b)           Right to Repurchase
following Termination of Service. If the Participant’s
service as an employee, director or consultant with the Company or an Affiliate
shall be terminated for any reason other than for “cause” (as defined in the
Plan), including due to death or Disability, then the Company shall have the
option to repurchase the Granted Shares, as follows:

 

(i)            The Company’s option to
repurchase the Granted Shares in the event of termination of service under this
Section 2.(b) shall be valid for a period of one year commencing with
the date of such termination of service.

 

(ii)           In the event the Company
shall be entitled to and shall elect to exercise its option to repurchase the
Granted Shares under this Section 2. (b), the Company shall notify the
Participant, or in case of death, his or her Survivor, in writing of its intent
to repurchase the Granted Shares. Such written notice may be mailed by the
Company up to and including the last day of the time period provided for in Section 2.(b)(i) for
exercise of the Company’s option to repurchase.

 

(iii)          The written notice to the
Participant shall specify the address at, and the time and date on, which
payment of the Repurchase Price (as defined herein) is to be made (the “Closing”).
The date specified shall not be less than ten days nor more than 60 days from
the date of the mailing of the notice, and the Participant or the Participant’s
Survivor with respect to the Granted Shares shall have no further rights as the
owner thereof from and after the date specified in the notice. At the Closing,
the Repurchase Price shall be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s
Survivor and the Granted Shares being purchased, duly endorsed for transfer,
shall, to the extent that they are not then in the possession of the Company,
be delivered to the Company by the Participant or the Participant’s Survivor.

 

(iv)          The price paid per share for
any Granted Shares repurchased hereunder (the “Repurchase Price”) shall equal
the Fair Market Value of such Granted Shares determined in accordance with the
Plan as of the date of termination of service, provided, however, in the event
of a termination by the Company or an Affiliate for “cause” (as defined in the
Plan), the per share repurchase price of the Shares to be sold to the Company
upon exercise of its option under this Section 2. shall be equal to the
Purchase Price.

 

2

 

(c)           Right to Repurchase on
Proposed Transfer. It shall be a condition precedent to the validity
of any sale or other transfer of any Granted Shares by the Participant that the
following restrictions be complied with (except as hereinafter otherwise
provided):

 

(i)            No Granted Shares owned by
the Participant may be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (including by
gift or devise) to any person or entity, voluntarily, or by operation of law,
except in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

(ii)           Before selling or otherwise
transferring all or part of the Granted Shares, the Participant shall give
written notice of such intention to the Company which notice shall include the
name of the proposed transferee, the proposed purchase price per share, the
terms of payment of such purchase price and all other matters relating to such
sale or transfer and shall be accompanied by a copy of the binding written
agreement of the proposed transferee to purchase the Granted Shares of the
Participant. Such notice shall constitute a binding offer by the Participant to
sell to the Company such number of the Granted Shares then held by the
Participant as are proposed to be sold in the notice at the monetary price per
share designated in such notice, payable on the terms offered to the
Participant by the proposed transferee (provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to meet any non-monetary terms of the proposed transfer,
including, without limitation, delivery of other securities in exchange for the
Granted Shares proposed to be sold). The Company shall give written notice to
the Participant as to whether such offer has been accepted in whole by the
Company within 60 days after its receipt of written notice from the
Participant. The Company may only accept such offer in whole and may not accept
such offer in part. Such acceptance notice shall fix a time, location and date
for the closing on such purchase (“Closing Date”) which shall not be less than
ten nor more than sixty days after the giving of the acceptance notice,
provided, however, if any of the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Section 2.(c) have
been held by the Participant for less than six months, then the Closing Date
may be extended by the Company until no more than ten days after such Shares
have been held by the Participant for six months. At the Closing, the Participant
shall accept payment as set forth herein and shall deliver to the Company in
exchange therefor the Granted Shares being repurchased, duly endorsed for
transfer, to the extent that they are not then in the possession of the
Company.

 

(iii)          If the Company shall fail to
accept any such offer, the Participant shall be free to sell all, but not less
than all, of the Granted Shares set forth in his notice to the designated
transferee at the price and terms designated in the Participant’s notice,
provided that (i) such sale is consummated within six months after the
giving of notice by the Participant to the Company as aforesaid, and (ii) the
transferee first agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.(c) so
that he or she (and all subsequent transferees) shall thereafter only be
permitted to sell or transfer the Granted Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof. After the expiration of such six months, the provisions of this Section 2.(c) shall
again apply with respect to any proposed voluntary transfer of the Granted
Shares.

 

3

 

(iv)          The provisions of this Section 2.(c) may
be waived by the Company. Any such waiver may be unconditional or based upon
such conditions as the Company may impose.

 

(v)           The restrictions on transfer
contained in this Section 2.(c) shall not apply to (a) transfers
by the Participant to his or her spouse or children or to a trust for the
benefit of his or her spouse or children, (b) transfers by the Participant
to his or her guardian or conservator, and (c) or transfers by the
Participant, in the event of his or her death, to his or her executor(s) or
administrator(s) or to trustee(s) under his or her will
(collectively, “Permitted Transferees”); provided however, that in any such
event the Granted Shares so transferred in the hands of each such Permitted
Transferee shall remain subject to this Agreement, and each such Permitted
Transferee shall so acknowledge in writing as a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of such transfer.

 

(d)           The provisions of Section 2.(a) through
(d) shall terminate upon the effective date of the registration of the
Shares pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

(e)           The Participant agrees that
in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its
equity securities and such Participant is requested by the Company and any
underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an
agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Shares, then it will
promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether in privately
negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or
otherwise, any Shares or other securities of the Company held by him or her
during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to
exceed 90 days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional
period of time as may be required to comply with Marketplace Rule 2711 of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or similar rules thereto
(such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement shall be in writing and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter
and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Notwithstanding
whether the Participant has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares or other securities of
the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up
Period.

 

(f)            The Participant acknowledges
and agrees that neither the Company nor, its shareholders nor its directors and
officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Participant any
material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the
value of the Shares before, at the time of, or following a termination of the
employment of the Participant by the Company or an Affiliate, including,
without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a
public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into
another firm or entity.

 

3.             Legend. In addition
to any legend required pursuant to the Plan, all certificates representing the
Granted Shares to be issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall
have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

 

4

 

“The shares represented by
this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock
Agreement dated as of July 28, 2009 with
this Company, a copy of which Agreement is available for inspection at the
offices of the Company or will be made available upon request.”

 

4.             Purchase for Investment;
Securities Law Compliance. If the offering and sale of the Granted
Shares have not been effectively registered under the 1933 Act, the Participant
hereby represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Granted Shares
for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale
in connection with, the distribution of any such Granted Shares. The
Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted
Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a
transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Participant shall be bound
by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the
certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued:

 

“The shares represented by
this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or
otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either
(a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be
effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company
shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption
from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall
have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 

5.             Rights as a Stockholder. The
Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Granted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, subject to the transfer
and other restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan.

 

6.             Incorporation of the Plan. The Participant
specifically understands and agrees that the Granted Shares issued under the
Plan are being sold to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which
Plan the Participant acknowledges he or she has read and understands and by
which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The provisions of the Plan are
incorporated herein by reference.

 

7.             Tax Liability of the
Participant and Payment of Taxes. The Participant
acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Participant
with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be
the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company shall be entitled to
immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be
withheld by the Company.

 

8.             Equitable Relief. The
Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach
or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, including
the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Participant in violation of
this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company,
and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition
to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in
any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be

 

5

 

construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing
any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach.

 

9.             No Obligation to Maintain Relationship. The Company
is not by the Plan or this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as
an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The
Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and
may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the
grant of the Shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual
or other right to receive future grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of
shares; (iii) that all determinations with respect to any such future
grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted,
the number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times
when each share shall be free from a lapsing repurchase right, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company; (iv) that the Participant’s participation
in the Plan is voluntary; (v) that the value of the Shares is an
extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the
Participant’s employment contract, if any; and (vi) that the Shares are
not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any
severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

 

10.           Notices. Any notices
required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Plan shall be given

provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction, then such provision or provisions shall be modified
to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable, and to
the extent that this is impossible, then such provision shall be deemed to be

(iv) Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance.  The Sponsor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and, after giving effect to such transactions, the Sponsor will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.  The Sponsor does not intend to incur, or believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.  The Sponsor does not contemplate the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of the Sponsor or any of its assets.  The Sponsor is not transferring the Bonds to Freddie Mac, all as contemplated by the Sponsor Documents, with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Sponsor’s creditors.

 

Section 6. Characterization of Transfer.  It is the express intention of the parties hereto that the Transfer of the Bonds by ATAX to the Sponsor be, and be construed as, an absolute sale and transfer to the Sponsor and not as a secured borrowing or a pledge of the Bonds by ATAX to the Sponsor to secure a debt or other obligation of ATAX.  ATAX will record the transaction as a sale from ATAX to the Sponsor; provided however, that due to consolidation of the Sponsor with ATAX under GAAP, the sale transaction will be presented on the consolidated financial statements of ATAX and the Sponsor as a secured financing for GAAP and, therefore, the Class A Certificates will be reported as debt on the consolidated financial statements of ATAX.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Bonds are held to be property of ATAX, then, and exclusively and solely in such event, it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Bonds by ATAX to the Sponsor to secure a debt or other obligation of ATAX and this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

 

Section 7. Headings.  The various headings in this Agreement are included for conveyance only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.  References in this Agreement to section names or numbers are to such sections of this Agreement.

 

Section 8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

 

Section 9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
