In addition, the Holder shall not sell any options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company which Holder owns or has a right to acquire as of the date hereof, other than in connection with an offer made to all shareholders of the Company in connection with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company. The Holder further agrees that the Company is authorized to and the Company agrees to place “stop orders” on its books to prevent any transfer of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by Holder in violation of this Agreement.

For purposes hereof, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on transfer, at any time during the Lock-Up Period, the Investor Group shall have the ability to waive the Lock-Up by express written consent delivered to the Company.

3.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Notices hereunder shall be given in the same manner as set forth in the Subscription Agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under the Subscription Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
