Control.
(d)    In the event that any calendar date on which vesting is purportedly
scheduled pursuant to the terms of Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) above is not a
Business Day (as defined below), the vesting shall automatically be delayed

3.    Certain Changes; Rights as a Stockholder. The number and class of shares
of Common Stock or other securities which are distributable to the Non-Employee

spin-off, split-off, split-up, recapitalization, capital reorganization,
reclassification of shares of Common Stock, merger or consolidation, or any like
capital adjustment, or the payment of any stock dividend, and/or to reflect a
change in the character or class of shares covered by the Plan arising from a
readjustment or recapitalization of the Company’s capital stock, in each case as
determined by the Board Committee. The Non-Employee Director shall not have any
rights to cash dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with
respect to the RSUs covered by this Agreement until the Company issues Common
Stock to the Non-Employee Director in accordance with Section 2(e).
4.    No Right to Continue as a Non-Employee Director. Nothing in this Agreement
shall give the Non-Employee Director any right to continue as a member of the
Board.

and legal representatives (as applicable).
9.    Securities Laws; Insider Trading. The Board Committee may from time to
time impose any conditions on the RSUs and shares of Common Stock as it deems
necessary or advisable to ensure that the Plan, this Agreement and the issuance
and resale of any securities comply with all applicable securities laws,
including without limitation the Securities Act and Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act. Such conditions may include, among other things, the requirement
that certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Non-Employee
Director hereunder contain a restrictive legend in such form and substance as
may be determined by the Board Committee. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
understood that Affiliates of the Company may resell Common Stock only pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. The Non-Employee Director understands and
agrees that any and all transactions involving shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company must comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations
and policies, including but not limited to the Company’s policy regarding
