4

(b) Vesting of Shares at Closing. 70% of the unvested Founder Shares owned by the Sponsors (or their respective Affiliates) as of the Closing shall vest (and shall not be subject to forfeiture) at the Closing.

(c) Performance Vesting Shares.

(i) 15% of the unvested Founder Shares owned by the Sponsors (or their respective Affiliates) as of the Closing shall vest (and shall not be subject to forfeiture) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I (the “$12 Founder Shares”). If Triggering Event I does not occur on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Founder Shares that were eligible to vest pursuant to this Section 1.9(c)(i) shall not vest, and shall be forfeited as provided in Section 1.9(c)(iii).

(ii) 15% of the unvested Founder Shares owned by the Sponsors (or their respective Affiliates) as of the Closing shall vest (and shall not be subject to forfeiture) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II (the “$15 Founder Shares”).

For avoidance of doubt, assuming no prior Triggering Events have occurred, in the case of clause (y): (i) if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Acquiror Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.00 per share of Acquiror Common Stock but less than $15.00 per share of Acquiror Common Stock, the $12 Founder Shares shall be deemed to have fully vested (and the $15 Founder Shares shall be deemed forfeited and shall be cancelled by Acquiror); (ii) if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Acquiror Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share of Acquiror Common Stock, the $12 Founder Shares and the $15 Founder Shares shall be deemed to have vested; provided, however, that if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Acquiror Common Stock is less than $12.00 per share of Acquiror Common Stock, then no Founder Shares shall be deemed to have vested and all such Founder Shares shall be deemed forfeited and shall be cancelled by Acquiror.

5

Any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of such unvested Founder Shares shall be null and void.

(f) If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Acquiror or the Founder Shares by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other means, equitable adjustment shall be made to the provisions of this Sponsor Agreement as may be required so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to Acquiror, Acquiror’s successor or the surviving entity of such transaction and the Founder Warrants, each as so changed. Each of the Sponsors will promptly inform the Company of any elections made by such Sponsor under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the Closing with respect to Founder Shares held by such Sponsor.

(ii) “Company Sale Price” means the price per share for Acquiror Common Stock in a Company Sale. If and to the extent the price paid per share includes any escrows, holdbacks, deferred purchase price, earnouts or other contingent consideration, Acquiror’s Board of Directors shall determine the price paid per share of Acquiror Common Stock in such Company Sale in good faith. If and to the extent the price is payable in whole or in part with consideration other than cash, the price for such non-cash consideration shall be determined as follows: (x) with respect to any securities: (A) the average of the closing prices of the sales of the securities on all securities exchanges on which the securities may at the time

6

be listed averaged over a period of 21 days consisting of the day as of which such value is being determined and the 20 consecutive business days prior to such day or (B) if the information in (A) is not practically available, the value of each such security shall be equal to the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation as determined by an independent, nationally recognized investment banking firm to be appointed with the mutual approval of Acquiror, the Company and the HEC Representative on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and, in the case of clause (A) or (B), reduced by the amount of any transfer Taxes payable in connection with such sale) and (y) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation as determined by an independent, nationally recognized investment banking firm to be appointed with the mutual approval of Acquiror and HEC on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and reduced by the amount of any transfer Taxes payable in connection with such sale).

(iii) “Earn Out Period” means the date that is five (5) years following the Closing Date.

(iv) “Triggering Event I” means the date following the Closing but prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, on which the per-share price on Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Acquiror Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.00.

(v) “Triggering Event II” means the date following the Closing but prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, on which the per-share price on Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Acquiror Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00.
