Terms and Conditions

 


	
1.
	
Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  The Company hereby confirms the grant to you, as of the Grant Date and subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, of the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on the cover page of this Agreement (the “Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s common stock. Prior to their settlement or forfeiture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company. This account shall be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured contingent obligation of the Company. 





	
2.
	
Restrictions Applicable to Units.  Neither this Award nor the Units subject to this Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following any such transfer, this Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to this Award immediately prior to its transfer, including the forfeiture provisions of Section 5, which apply to the original Participant and not any transferee. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 2 shall be void and without effect. The Units and your right to receive Shares in settlement of the Units under this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 5 until satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Section 4.





	
3.
	
No Shareholder Rights.  The Units subject to this Award do not entitle you to any rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock. You will not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company in connection with the grant of Units subject to this Agreement unless and until Shares are issued to you upon settlement of the Units as provided in Section 6.  





	
4.
	
Vesting of Units.

Scheduled Vesting.  If you remain a Service Provider continuously from the Grant Date specified on the cover page of this Agreement, then the Units will vest ratably on a monthly basis and will become fully vested upon the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the Grant Date, or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held after the Grant Date.

Accelerated or Continued Vesting.  All unvested Units shall vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control that occurs while you continue to be a Service Provider.  





	
5.
	
Effect of Termination of Service.  Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 4(b) above, if you cease to be a Service Provider, you will forfeit all unvested Units.  





	
6.
	
Settlement of Units.  The Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to you (or to your personal representative or your designated beneficiary or estate in the event of your death, as applicable) one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit upon a termination of your Service that constitutes a “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code
