AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. CONVERSION. The Stockholder hereby elects to effect an Optional Conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock, effective automatically upon the termination of the Stockholder's Continuous Service (as defined below) for any reason whatsoever, subject only to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approving such conversion. The Board shall consider the Stockholder's conversion election no later than its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Stockholder's termination of Continuous Service.
2. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) "Continuous Service" means that the Stockholder's service with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, whether as an employee, a member of the Company's Board of Directors (a "Director") or a consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A change in the capacity in which the Stockholder renders service to the Company or an affiliate as an employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the legal entity for which the Stockholder renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Stockholder's service with the Company or a subsidiary, will not terminate a Stockholder's Continuous Service; provided, however, that if the legal entity for which a Stockholder is rendering services ceases to qualify as a subsidiary, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, such Stockholder's Continuous Service will be considered to have terminated on the date such entity ceases to qualify as a subsidiary. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant to the Company or to a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted by law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service will be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Board, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave.
