AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1 Award of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Award. In consideration of Participant’s agreement to remain in the service
or employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Company hereby grants to Participant the right to
receive the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to all of the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan
(the “RSU Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Stock.
Participant is an Employee, a member of the Board or Consultant. Prior to actual
issuance of any Stock, the RSUs and the RSU Award represent an unsecured
obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.

(b) Issuance of Stock.

(i) Vesting and Timing of Distribution. The RSUs subject to the RSU Award shall
vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion of vesting
schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”). Subject to
Section 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, the Stock represented by the RSUs subject to the RSU
Award shall be issued to Participant with respect the number of RSUs that have
vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice not
later than ten (10) days following the date that the corresponding RSUs have
vested (without regard to whether Participant has experienced a Termination of
Service prior the date of distribution).

(ii) Generally. Stock issued under the RSU Award shall be issued to Participant
or Participant’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, at the sole discretion of
the Administrator, in either (A) uncertificated form, with the Stock recorded in
the name of Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent
with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions on transfer imposed
pursuant to this Agreement; or (B) certificated form. No fractional shares of
Stock shall be issued under this Agreement.

2.2 Forfeiture. Any RSUs subject to this RSU Award that are not vested as of the
date Participant experiences a Termination of Service shall thereupon be
forfeited, terminated and cancelled immediately without payment of any
consideration by the Company and without any further action by the Company.

2.3 Tax Withholding; Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.1(b)
hereof):

(i) No new certificate shall be delivered to Participant or his legal
representative unless and until Participant or his legal representative shall
have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or
other taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the
vesting of the RSUs or the distribution of Stock issuable thereunder, or other
taxable event related to the Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may
permit Participant to satisfy the tax withholding obligations using any of the
methods prescribed in the Plan as determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator.

(ii) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or
certificates for any Stock prior to the fulfillment of all of the following
conditions: (A) the admission of the Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on
which such Stock is then listed, (B) the completion of any registration or other
qualification of the Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental
regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, deem necessary and advisable, (C) the obtaining of any approval or
other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the
Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable and (D) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the
date the RSUs vest as the Administrator may from time to time establish for
reasons of administrative convenience.

2.4 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Neither Participant nor any person
claiming under or through Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges
of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Stock issuable hereunder
unless and until certificates representing such Stock (which may be in
uncertificated form) will have been issued and recorded on the books and records
of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to
Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account).
After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant shall have all the
rights of a stockholder of the Company, including with respect to the right to
vote the Stock and the right to receive any cash or stock dividends or other
distributions paid to or made with respect to the Stock; provided, however, that
at the discretion of the Company, and prior to the delivery of Stock,
Participant may be required to execute a stockholders agreement in such form as
shall be determined by the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend
or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock is
issued, except as provided in Section 12.1 of the Plan
