Terms and Conditions

 

1.     Issuance of Restricted Shares.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
has granted to the Participant a Restricted Stock Award involving the number of
Shares specified at the beginning of this Agreement. Such Shares of Restricted
Stock are subject to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement, and in the
Plan, and are referred to collectively as the “Restricted Shares” and each as a
“Restricted Share.” The term “Restricted Shares” also refers to all securities
received by the Participant in replacement of or in connection with the
Restricted Shares acquired hereby pursuant to a recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other
relevant event.

 

(b)            Each Restricted Share will be evidenced by a book-entry in the
name of the Participant with the Company’s transfer agent or by one or more
Common Stock certificates issued in the name of the Participant. Any such Common
Stock certificate will be deposited with the Company or its designee, together
with an assignment separate from the certificate, in blank, signed by the
Participant, and bear an appropriate legend referring to the restricted nature
of the Restricted Stock evidenced thereby. Any book-entry will be subject to
transfer restrictions and accompanied by a similar legend. Upon the vesting of
Shares of Restricted Stock and the corresponding lapse of the restrictions and
forfeiture conditions, the transfer restrictions and restrictive legend
applicable to any book-entry evidencing such Shares will be removed, or a
certificate for the Shares bearing no restrictive legend will be delivered to
the Participant or a Successor or a Transferee.

 

2.     Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions.

 

 

(a)

Forfeiture. If (i) the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated for
any reason, or (ii) the Participant attempts to transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of the Restricted Shares or the Restricted Shares become subject to
attachment or any similar involuntary process, in violation of this Agreement,
then any Restricted Shares that have not previously vested will be forfeited by
the Participant to the Company, and the Participant will thereafter have no
right, title or interest whatsoever in such Restricted Shares. The Company
unilaterally may instruct the Company’s transfer agent to adjust the stock
register of the Company to reflect the forfeiture of any Restricted Shares. If
the Company does not have custody of any and all certificates representing
Restricted Shares so forfeited, the Participant must immediately return to the
Company any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited.
Additionally, the Participant must deliver to Company a stock power duly
executed in blank relating to any and all certificates representing Restricted
Shares forfeited to the Company in accordance with the previous sentence or, if
such stock power has previously been tendered to the Company, the Company will
be authorized to deem such previously tendered stock power delivered, and the
Company will be authorized to cancel any and all certificates representing
Restricted Shares so forfeited and issue and deliver to the Participant a new
certificate for any Shares which vested prior to forfeiture.

 

(b)           Limitations on Transfer. For so long as the Participant’s Service
as a Non-Employee Director continues, including after such time as the
Restricted Shares have become Vested Shares under Section 3(a) of this
Agreement, the Shares subject to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. Such transfer
restrictions shall not apply to Vested Shares if the Participant’s Service with
the Company terminates due to death or Disability, or if a Change in Control
occurs. To the extent such transfer restrictions do apply to Vested Shares, such
restrictions will lapse as to one-third of the Vested Shares on the date the
Participant’s Service as a Non-Employee Director ends, and on each of the two
succeeding anniversaries of such date.

 

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

3.

Vesting.

 

 

(a)

Scheduled Vesting. So long as the Participant’s Service continues, the
Restricted Shares will cease to be subject to forfeiture and the transferability
restrictions under Section 2 hereof on the Vesting Date specified in the table
at the beginning of this Agreement, or at such earlier time as may be specified
in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3. Restricted Shares that have so
ceased to be subject to forfeiture and transferability restrictions are
sometimes referred to as “vested” or as “Vested Shares” in this Agreement.

 

 

(b)

Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service with the Company terminates
because of death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date of this Award, all
Restricted Shares subject to this Award will vest and become Vested Shares as of
the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

 

 

(c)

Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date of
this Award and while the Participant’s Service continues, all Restricted Shares
subject to this Award will vest and become Vested Shares as of the date of the
Change in Control.

 

4.

Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement
or the Plan, the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the Grant Date specified at
the beginning of this Agreement. Any dividends or distributions, other than
regular cash dividends, declared and paid with respect to Restricted Shares will
be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and other restrictions as the
underlying Shares.

 

5.

Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

 

(a)

Legends. Any certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to this
Agreement will bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by
applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws) noting the existence
of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY
AND THE PARTICIPANT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY.”

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  

 

(b)

Stop-Transfer Notices. The Participant agrees that, in order to ensure
compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue
appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and
that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate
notations to the same effect in its own records.

 

 

(c)

Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares subject to this Agreement that have been sold or otherwise
transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to
treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to
any purchaser or other transferee to whom the such Shares will have been so
transferred.

 

6.

No Right to Continued Service or Future Awards. This Agreement awards Restricted
Stock to the Participant, but does not impose any obligation on the Company to
make any future grants or issue any future awards to the Participant or
otherwise continue the participation of the Participant under the Plan. This
Agreement will not give the Participant a right to continued Service with the
Company or any Affiliate, and the Company may terminate the Participant’s
Service and otherwise deal with the Participant without regard to the effect it
may have upon him or her under this Agreement

 

By executing this Agreement, the Participant expressly acknowledges the above.

 

7.

Tax Consequences. The Participant understands that unless a proper and timely
election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been made, at the time the
Restricted Shares vest, the Participant will be obligated to recognize ordinary
income and be taxed in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date
of vesting of the Restricted Shares then vesting. The Participant shall be
solely responsible for any tax obligations that may arise as a result of this
Award. The Participant understands that the Participant may choose to file,
within 30 days of the Grant Date, an election with the Internal Revenue Service
electing pursuant to Section 83(b) to be taxed on the Fair Market Value of the
Restricted Shares on the Grant Date. The Participant acknowledges that it is the
Participant’s sole responsibility to timely file such an election, and that if
such an election is made, the Participant shall promptly provide the Company a
copy.

 

8.

Interpretation of This Agreement. All decisions and interpretations made by the
Board with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan will be
binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant. If there is any
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan will govern.

 

9.

Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding in all respects on the heirs,
representatives, Successors and assigns of the Participant, and any successor or
assignee of the Company.

 

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

10.

Choice of Law. This Agreement is entered into under the laws of the State of
Delaware and will be construed and interpreted thereunder (without regard to its
conflict-of-law principles).

 

11.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the issuance and sale of the
Restricted Shares and the administration of the Plan and supersede all prior
agreements, arrangements, plans, and understandings relating to the issuance and
sale of these Restricted Shares and the administration of the Plan.

 

12.

Amendment and Waiver. Except as provided in the Plan, this Agreement may be
amended, waived, modified, or canceled only by a written instrument executed by
the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.
