| | (c) | Consistent with the foregoing, except as contemplated by Paragraph 5, no right or benefit under this Agreement shall be subject to transfer, anticipation, alienation, sale,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to transfer, anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit

alienate, assign, sell, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, other than as contemplated by Paragraph 5, or if any creditor shall attempt to subject the same to a writ of garnishment, attachment, execution, sequestration, or any

| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Effect of
Termination of Employment or Services.



| | (a) | The Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule reflected in Paragraph 2(b) above, as long as the Participant remains
employed by or continues to provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary. If, however, either:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the Company and its Subsidiaries terminate the Participants employment (or if the Participant is not an Employee, determine that the Participants services are no longer
needed), or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the Participant terminates employment (or if the Participant is not an Employee, ceases to perform services for the Company and its Subsidiaries),
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then the shares of Restricted Stock that have not previously vested in accordance with the vesting schedule reflected in Paragraph 2(b) above, as of the
date of such termination of employment (or cessation of services, as applicable), shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company.



| | (b) | Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(a) above, upon the cessation of the Participants employment or services (whether voluntary or involuntary), the Committee may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, elect to accelerate the vesting of some or all of the unvested shares of Restricted Stock.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.
Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be construed to:



| | (a) | give the Participant any right to be awarded any further restricted stock or any other Award in the future, even if restricted stock or other Awards are granted on a regular or
repeated basis, as grants of restricted stock and other Awards are completely voluntary and made solely in the discretion of the Committee;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| | (b) | give the Participant or any other person any interest in any fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; or
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate
the employment or service of the Participant at any time or for any reason.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Prerequisites to Benefits. Neither the
Participant, nor any person claiming through the Participant, shall have any right or interest in the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, unless and until all the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan which affect the
Participant or such other person shall have been complied with as specified herein.

6. Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the
limitations and restrictions contained herein, the Participant (or Beneficiary) shall have all rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote and receive dividends; provided, however, that any
dividends attributable to shares of Restricted Stock that have not otherwise vested shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock to which they related until such restrictions lapse.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant, the Company and their
respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Participant may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly
permitted herein.

8. Securities Act. The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Committee may
require that the Participant, prior to the issuance of any such shares, sign and deliver to the Company a written statement, which shall be in a form and contain content acceptable to the Committee, in its sole discretion (Investment
Letter):



| | (a) | stating that the Participant is acquiring the shares for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | stating that the Participant will not sell any shares of Common Stock that the Participant may then own or thereafter acquire except either:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | through a broker on a national securities exchange or
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | with the prior written approval of the Company; and
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | containing such other terms and conditions as counsel for the Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable federal or state
securities laws and regulations.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Federal and State Taxes.



| | (a) | Any amount of Common Stock that is payable or transferable to the Participant hereunder may be subject to the payment of or reduced by any amount or amounts which the Company is
required to withhold under the then applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or its successors, or any other federal, state or local tax withholding requirement. When the Company is required to
withhold any amount or amounts under the applicable provisions of the Code, the Company shall withhold from the Common Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of shares necessary to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations. The
number of shares of Common Stock to be withheld shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of withholding.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) | the Participant may deliver to the Company a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Participant to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations, based
on the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the date of withholding; or
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Authorization of the Participant to the Company to withhold taxes pursuant to one or more of the alternatives described in Paragraph 9(b) above must be in a form and content
acceptable to the Committee. The payment or authorization to withhold taxes by the Participant shall be completed prior to the delivery of any shares pursuant to this Agreement. An authorization to withhold taxes pursuant to this provision will be
irrevocable unless and until the tax liability of the Participant has been fully paid.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10. | Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
