17. “MarketStand-Off” Agreement. The Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except common stock included in such registration;provided,however, that:
(a) all officers and directors of the Company and all other persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into similar agreements;
(b) the Company obtains from persons who hold two percent (2%) or greater of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, alock-up agreement similar to that set forth in this Section 17; and
(c) such marketstand-off time period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days for the Company’s initial public offering, and ninety (90) days for any subsequent public offerings.
Holder agrees to provide to the other underwriters of any public offering such further agreements as such underwriter may reasonably request in connection with this marketstand-off agreement, provided that the terms of such agreements are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 17. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 17 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on FormS-8 or a similar form which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction.

The registration rights of the Holder (including Holders’ successors) with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, or, if this Warrant is exercisable for convertible securities, upon conversion of such securities, will be the same as those granted to the holders of Shares issued in the Qualified Financing.
