(a)     You shall be entitled to exercise and enjoy all rights and entitlements of ownership of the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock on all matters which come before the shareholders of the Company and the right to receive dividends and other distributions thereon, except that, until the Restricted Stock vests (as provided in Section 2(b)) the following restrictions (the "Restrictions") shall apply: (i) you may not sell, transfer, assign, give, place in trust, or otherwise dispose of or pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock and any such attempted disposition or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; (ii) dividends and other distributions on the Restricted Stock will be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 2(e) and 5 hereof; and (iii) your shares of Restricted Stock will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(c) hereof.

As to any shares of Restricted Stock then remaining, all such shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company.

	
(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company, all shares of Restricted Stock shall vest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

4.     You hereby represent that the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement is being acquired for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution thereof.
