conditions set forth in this RSU Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan. Each

unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the
Company.
(b)    Vesting. The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set
forth in the Grant Notice. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in accordance
with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, Participant will have
no right to any distribution with respect to such RSUs. In the event Participant

the RSUs, any unvested RSUs will terminate automatically without any further
action by the Company and be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to
the Company.
(c)    Distribution of Stock.
(i)    Shares shall be distributed to Participant (or in the event of
Participant’s death, to his or her estate) with respect to such Participant’s
vested RSUs granted to Participant pursuant to this RSU Agreement, subject to
the terms and provisions of the Plan and this RSU Agreement, within thirty (30)
days following each vesting date as the RSUs vest pursuant to the Vesting
Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(ii)    All distributions shall be made by the Company in the form of whole
shares of Common Stock.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares shall be issuable with respect to
the RSUs at such times and upon such events as are specified in this RSU
Agreement only to the extent issuance under such terms will not cause the RSUs
or such Shares to be includible in the gross income of Participant under Section
409A of the Code prior to such times or the occurrence of such events, as
permitted by the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder.
(d)    Generally. Shares issued under the Award shall be issued to Participant
or Participant’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, at the sole discretion of
the Administrator, in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares 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 RSU Agreement; or (ii) certificate form.
2.2    Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this RSU Agreement:
(a)    Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any
Subsidiary and Participant’s employing company, if different, and their
affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) from and against any liability
for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (as defined below) that is
attributable to the vesting or distribution of the RSUs, the disposal of any
Shares issued pursuant to the distribution of the RSUs or otherwise pursuant to
this RSU Agreement. No Shares shall be issued or delivered to Participant or his
or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal
representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of any Tax
Liability; provided that no payment shall be delayed under this Section 2.2(a)
if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)    The Company Group shall be entitled to withhold taxes (if required)
according to the requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations,
including withholding taxes at source. The Company Group may withhold or
Participant may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below:

(i)     by cash or check made payable to the Company or the member of the
Company Group with respect to which the withholding obligation arises;
 
(ii)     by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to
Participant;

(iii)    with respect to any tax withholding obligation arising in connection
with the distribution of the RSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by
requesting that the Company or the member of the Company Group with respect to
which the withholding obligation arises withhold a net number of vested Shares
otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs having a then current Fair Market Value
not exceeding the Tax Liability;
(iv)     with respect to any tax withholding obligation arising in connection
with the distribution of the RSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by
tendering to the Company vested Shares held for the requisite period necessary
to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes, as
determined by the Administrator, having a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender not exceeding the Tax Liability;

(v)    with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the
distribution of the RSUs, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has
placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect
to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the RSUs, and that the broker
has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to
the Company and/or the member of the Company Group with respect to which the
withholding obligation arises; provided that payment of such proceeds is then
made to the Company and/or such member of the Company Group at such time as may
be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement
of such sale; or

(vi)     in any combination of the foregoing.
(c)    With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the
RSUs, in the event Participant does not provide timely payment of all sums
required pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Company Group shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to
satisfy all or any portion of Participant's required payment obligation pursuant
to Section 2.2(b)(iii) above. In the event any tax withholding obligation
arising in connection with the RSUs will be satisfied under Section 2.2(b)(iii),
then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable
to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant's behalf a whole number
of shares from those Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the RSUs as
the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to
satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to
the Company and/or the member of the Company Group with respect to which the
withholding obligation arises. Participant's acceptance of this Award
constitutes Participant's instruction and authorization to the Company and such
brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 2.2(c),
including the transactions described in the previous sentence, as applicable.
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, Participant's “Tax Liability” shall mean
(i) all federal, state, local and foreign withholding or other taxes applicable
to Participant's taxable income, plus (ii) if permitted under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which Participant resides, any liability of the Company Group
for income tax, withholding tax and any social security contributions, payroll
tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account obligation or other employment
related taxes in any jurisdiction, in each case that may arise as a result of
(w) the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSU, (x) the issuance to Participant
of Shares on the vesting or settlement of the RSU, (y) the disposition of any
Shares that were the subject of the RSU, or (z) any other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the
Company shall withhold for the Tax Liability based on the minimum applicable
statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and
payroll tax purposes.
2.3    Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the
fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of the Shares
to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the
completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any
state, federal or foreign 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,
federal or foreign governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its
absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (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, and (e) Participant’s satisfaction of his or her obligations under
Section 2.2.

Award shall not give Participant any rights or additional rights in respect of
