As of the Award Date indicated in the Notice of Grant above, the Company hereby grants to Participant an award of RSUs (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Award Agreement. Until the RSUs are actually settled and paid, each RSU represents an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share, subject to the vesting and other restrictions, terms and conditions contained in this Award Agreement and the Plan.  Except as may be required by law, Participant is not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to the Plan) or provide any consideration other than the rendering of future services to the Company.
		

		
			2.        General.  This Award does not entitle Participant to any rights of a holder of Common Stock, including dividends or voting rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares issuable in respect of such RSUs, until the RSUs are actually settled and paid in the form of Shares delivered to and held of record by Participant.  
		

		
			3.        Vesting. Unless otherwise provided in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the RSUs shall become fully vested in one or more installments in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant.
		

		
			4.        Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, all RSUs that are unvested as of the date that Participant ceases to be a Service Provider shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company immediately after the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider.  Any unvested RSUs that are cancelled and forfeited to the Company shall automatically revert to the Plan.  
		

		
			5.        Change in Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the unvested RSUs will be considered fully vested and earned immediately prior to consummation of such Change in Control.
		

		
			6.        Payment.  Except as provided otherwise in this Award Agreement, RSUs will be settled and paid as soon as practicable after the date on which they become vested, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following such date.  The RSUs shall be settled and paid in Shares, in the amount of one Share for each vested RSU.

Any purported sale, pledge, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or other disposition in violation of this Award Agreement or the Plan will be void and of no effect.  The terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant.
