Stock will be issued in the Executive's name, but will be held in custody by the
Company or an escrow agent (which may be a brokerage firm) appointed by the
Company, and the Executive will not sell, transfer, assign, give, place in
trust, or otherwise dispose of or pledge, grant a security interest in, or
otherwise encumber such unvested Restricted Stock until the Executive’s interest
therein is fully vested, and any such attempted disposition or encumbrance shall
be void and unenforceable against the Company; (ii) the stock certificate or
certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall initially bear the legends
provided for in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) below; (iii) except as provided in
Section 3(b), upon termination of the Executive's employment with the Company

involuntarily, all shares of Restricted Stock which had not vested as of the
date of such termination will be forfeited and returned to the Company, and all
rights of the Executive or the Executive's heirs in and to such shares will

sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets, (B) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or (C)
a sale or exchange of capital stock of the Company, in any case as a result of

resulting or transferee entity or (ii) the Executive dies or becomes disabled
while the Executive is employed by the Company.]

4. Effect of Vesting. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the
vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock, the Company will deliver to the
Executive a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Restricted
Stock which had so vested, endorsed with the legend provided for in Section
7(b). Alternatively, the Company may elect to deliver vested shares of
Restricted Stock electronically, and if it does so, the Executive agrees to
establish an account with a brokerage firm selected by the Company for the
purpose of receiving such shares. Subject to applicable law, the Executive may
sell, transfer, assign, give, place in trust, or otherwise dispose of or pledge,
grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber vested shares of Restricted
Stock.

5. Regulatory Compliance. The issuance and delivery of any stock certificates
representing vested shares of Restricted Stock may be postponed by the Company
for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements
under the federal securities laws or under any other law or regulation
applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares. The Company shall not be
obligated to deliver any vested shares of Restricted Stock to the Executive if
the Company believes that such delivery would constitute a violation of any
applicable law or regulation.

6. Representations and Warranties. The Executive hereby represents and warrants
that the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement is being acquired
for the Executive's own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to
distribution thereof. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any sale or
distribution of shares of Restricted Stock that have become vested may be made
only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which
registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the
shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act that is confirmed in a favorable written
opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
Company, prior to any such sale or distribution. The Executive hereby consents
to such action as the Board or the Company deems necessary or appropriate from
time to time to prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act or to implement the provisions
of this Agreement, including but not limited to placing restrictive legends on
certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock (whether or not vested) and
delivering stop transfer instructions to the Company's stock transfer agent.

7. Legends. (a) Each certificate representing any unvested shares of Restricted
Stock shall be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A CERTAIN
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF (GRANT DATE), WHICH PROVIDES,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE OF
SUCH SHARES. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE
COMPANY"

(b) In addition to the legend set forth in paragraph (a) and above, until
registered under the Securities Act, each certificate representing shares of
Restricted Stock shall be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following
form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.
SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION, EXCEPT UPON DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF SUCH EVIDENCE
AS MAYBE SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH
TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROMULGATED
THEREUNDER";

under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
