time to time during the Restriction Period, transfer the Common Stock (i) as
bona fide gifts or transfers by will or intestacy, (ii) to any trust for the
direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the
Holder, provided that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for
value, (iii) to a partnership which is the general partner of a
partnership
of which the Holder is a general partner, provided, that, in the case of any
gift or transfer described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), each donee or
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained
herein in the same manner as such terms and conditions apply to the undersigned.

state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New

thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. Holder irrevocably appoints the Company its true and lawful
agent for service of process upon whom all processes of law and notices may be
served and given in the manner described above; and such service and notice
shall be deemed valid personal service and notice upon Holder with the same
force and validity as if served upon Holder.
