Terms and Conditions

 

1.     Issuance of Restricted Shares. 

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Participant a Restricted Stock Award involving the number of Shares specified at the beginning of this Agreement. Such Shares of Restricted Stock are subject to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement, and in the Plan, and are referred to collectively as the “Restricted Shares” and each as a “Restricted Share.” The term “Restricted Shares” also refers to all securities received by the Participant in replacement of or in connection with the Restricted Shares acquired hereby pursuant to a recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other relevant event.

 

(b)            Each Restricted Share will be evidenced by a book-entry in the name of the Participant with the Company’s transfer agent or by one or more Common Stock certificates issued in the name of the Participant. Any such Common Stock certificate will be deposited with the Company or its designee, together with an assignment separate from the certificate, in blank, signed by the Participant, and bear an appropriate legend referring to the restricted nature of the Restricted Stock evidenced thereby. Any book-entry will be subject to transfer restrictions and accompanied by a similar legend. Upon the vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock and the corresponding lapse of the restrictions and forfeiture conditions, the transfer restrictions and restrictive legend applicable to any book-entry evidencing such Shares will be removed, or a certificate for the Shares bearing no restrictive legend will be delivered to the Participant or a Successor or a Transferee.

 

2.     Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions. 

 

	 	
(a)
	
Forfeiture. If (i) the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated for any reason, or (ii) the Participant attempts to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Restricted Shares or the Restricted Shares become subject to attachment or any similar involuntary process, in violation of this Agreement, then any Restricted Shares that have not previously vested will be forfeited by the Participant to the Company, and the Participant will thereafter have no right, title or interest whatsoever in such Restricted Shares. The Company unilaterally may instruct the Company’s transfer agent to adjust the stock register of the Company to reflect the forfeiture of any Restricted Shares. If the Company does not have custody of any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited, the Participant must immediately return to the Company any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited. Additionally, the Participant must deliver to Company a stock power duly executed in blank relating to any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares forfeited to the Company in accordance with the previous sentence or, if such stock power has previously been tendered to the Company, the Company will be authorized to deem such previously tendered stock power delivered, and the Company will be authorized to cancel any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited and issue and deliver to the Participant a new certificate for any Shares which vested prior to forfeiture. 



 

(b)           Limitations on Transfer. For so long as the Participant’s Service as a Non-Employee Director continues, including after such time as the Restricted Shares have become Vested Shares under Section 3(a) of this Agreement, the Shares subject to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. Such transfer restrictions shall not apply to Vested Shares if the Participant’s Service with the Company terminates due to death or Disability, or if a Change in Control occurs. To the extent such transfer restrictions do apply to Vested Shares, such restrictions will lapse as to one-third of the Vested Shares on the date the Participant’s Service as a Non-Employee Director ends, and on each of the two succeeding anniversaries of such date. 

 

 


 

 




 


 

	
3.
	
Vesting. 



 

	 	
(a)
	
Scheduled Vesting. So long as the Participant’s Service continues, the Restricted Shares will cease to be subject to forfeiture and the transferability restrictions under Section 2 hereof on the Vesting Date specified in the table at the beginning of this Agreement, or at such earlier time as may be specified in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3. Restricted Shares that have so ceased to be subject to forfeiture and transferability restrictions are sometimes referred to as “vested” or as “Vested Shares” in this Agreement.



 

	 	
(b)
	
Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service with the Company terminates because of death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date of this Award, all Restricted Shares subject to this Award will vest and become Vested Shares as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. 



 

	 	
(c)
	
Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date of this Award and while the Participant’s Service continues, all Restricted Shares subject to this Award will vest and become Vested Shares as of the date of the Change in Control.



 

	
4.
	
Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the Grant Date specified at the beginning of this Agreement. Any dividends or distributions, other than regular cash dividends, declared and paid with respect to Restricted Shares will be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and other restrictions as the underlying Shares. 



 

	
5.
	
Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.



 

	 	
(a)
	Legends. Any certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to this Agreement will bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws) noting the existence of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement:


 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PARTICIPANT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

 


 

 




 


  

	 	
(b)
	Stop-Transfer Notices.

(c)
	Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares subject to this Agreement that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom the such Shares will have been so transferred.


 

	
6.
	
No Right to Continued Service or Future Awards. This Agreement awards Restricted Stock to the Participant, but does not impose any obligation on the Company to make any future grants or issue any future awards to the Participant or otherwise continue the participation of the Participant under the Plan. This Agreement will not give the Participant a right to continued Service with the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company may terminate the Participant’s Service and otherwise deal with the Participant without regard to the effect it may have upon him or her under this Agreement



 

By executing this Agreement, the Participant expressly acknowledges the above.

 

	
7.
	
Tax Consequences. The Participant understands that unless a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been made, at the time the Restricted Shares vest, the Participant will be obligated to recognize ordinary income and be taxed in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of vesting of the Restricted Shares then vesting. The Participant shall be solely responsible for any tax obligations that may arise as a result of this Award. The Participant understands that the Participant may choose to file, within 30 days of the Grant Date, an election with the Internal Revenue Service electing pursuant to Section 83(b) to be taxed on the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility to timely file such an election, and that if such an election is made, the Participant shall promptly provide the Company a copy.



 

	
8.
	
Interpretation of This Agreement. All decisions and interpretations made by the Board with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan will be binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. 



 

	
9.
	
Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding in all respects on the heirs, representatives, Successors and assigns of the Participant, and any successor or assignee of the Company.
