AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT


 


1.
       Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the
Notice of Grant in Part I of this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) under the Plan for past services and as a separate
incentive in connection with his or her services and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services, an Award
of Shares of Restricted Stock, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated

2.
       Escrow of Shares.


 


(a)
       All Shares of Restricted Stock will, upon execution of this Award Agreement, be delivered and
deposited with an escrow holder designated by the Company (the “Escrow Holder”). The Shares of Restricted Stock will be held
by the Escrow Holder until such time as the Shares of Restricted Stock vest, or the date Participant ceases to be a Service Provider.


 


(b)
       The Escrow Holder will not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding
the Shares of Restricted Stock in escrow while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.


 


(c)
       Upon Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason, the Escrow Holder,
upon receipt of written notice of such termination, will take all steps necessary to accomplish the transfer of the unvested Shares of
Restricted Stock to the Company. Participant hereby appoints the Escrow Holder with full power of substitution, as Participant’s
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of Participant to take any action and
execute all documents and instruments, including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate
or certificates evidencing such unvested Shares of Restricted Stock to the Company upon such termination.


 


(d)
       The Escrow Holder will take all steps necessary to accomplish the transfer of Shares of Restricted
Stock to Participant after they vest, following Participant’s request that the Escrow Holder do so.


 


(e)
       Subject to the terms hereof, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder with respect
to the Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and to receive any cash dividends
declared thereon.


 


(f)
       In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure
of the Company affecting the Shares, the Shares of Restricted Stock will be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of
any such change Participant will in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Shares of Restricted Stock be entitled to new or additional
or different shares of stock, cash or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different
shares, cash or securities will thereupon be considered to be unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the conditions
and restrictions which were applicable to the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement. If Participant receives
rights or warrants with respect to any unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by Participant,
provided that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the
exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the conditions
and restrictions which were applicable to the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement. The Administrator
or Committee (collectively “Administrator”) in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any
portion of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities
acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.

(g)
       The Company may instruct the transfer agent for its Common Stock to place a legend on the certificates
representing the Restricted Stock or otherwise note its records as to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Award Agreement.


 


3.
       Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Shares
of Restricted Stock awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant.
Shares of Restricted Stock scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant
in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from
the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.


 


4.
       Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting
of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan.
If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.


 


5.
       Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested at the time of Participant’s
termination as a Service Provider for any reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at
no cost to the Company upon the date of such termination and Participant will have no further rights thereunder. Participant will not
be entitled to a refund of the price paid for the Shares of Restricted Stock, if any, returned to the Company pursuant to this Section
6. Participant hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with full power of substitution, as Participant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of Participant to take any action and execute all documents and instruments,
including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates evidencing such unvested
Shares to the Company upon such termination of service.


 


6.
       Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this
Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives
Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written
notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and
compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.


 


7.
       Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement,
no certificate representing the Shares of Restricted Stock may be released from the escrow established pursuant to Section 2, unless
and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment
of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. The Administrator, in
its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Participant to satisfy such tax withholding
obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation) by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, (c) delivering to the Company already vested and
owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (d) selling a sufficient number of such Shares
otherwise deliverable to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker
or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it
will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable
to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder
at the time any applicable Shares otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, Participant will permanently forfeit such
Shares and the Shares will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.

8.
       Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through
Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder
unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer
agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant or the Escrow Agent. Except as provided in Section 2, after such issuance, recordation
and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of
dividends and distributions on such Shares.


 


9.
       No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING
OF THE SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL
OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT
AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT
OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP
AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

which the Administrator will, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (b) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance
from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Administrator will, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable; and (c) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of grant of the Restricted Stock as the Administrator
may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.
