indebtedness or (ii) the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to pay all or any portion of the Repurchase Price at such time, then any applicable Repurchase Price payments otherwise due during such period of prohibition, restriction or illiquidity will be paid by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the date that the applicable condition no longer exists.
Upon and following the occurrence of an IPO, the Company’s right to repurchase shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Section 5 shall be of no force or effect.
Section 6. Restrictions on Transfer. No Restricted Stock Units may be transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event that Participant becomes legally incapacitated, Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be exercisable by Participant’s legal guardian or legal representative. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Restricted Stock Units contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon any Restricted Stock Units, shall be null and void and without effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may, with the prior written consent of the Committee, make transfers of Restricted Stock Units to immediate family members or to a trust, the sole beneficiaries of which are Participant or immediate family members, in each case solely for estate planning purposes, in all instances subject to compliance with any applicable spousal consent requirements and all other applicable laws.
Section 7. Investment Representation. Upon any acquisition of the Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units at a time when there is not in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the shares of Common Stock, Participant hereby represents and warrants, and by virtue of such acquisition shall be deemed to represent and warrant, to the Company that such Common Stock shall be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and not with any present intention of distributing the same, and Participant shall provide the Company with such further representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably require in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities, blue sky and other laws. No Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be acquired unless and until the Company and/or Participant shall have complied with all applicable federal or state registration, listing and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, unless the Committee reasonably determines that Participant may acquire such Common Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws.
Section 8. Lock-Up Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Participant shall not, without the consent of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer any Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award (or successor interests thereto received in connection with an IPO) for a period of time, as required by the underwriters in connection with an IPO. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each stock certificate with a legend as the Company may consider reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to effectuate the foregoing restriction.
