3.    Transfer Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, exchanged, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Grantee, except as provided in Section 4 and Section 5 below.

	 	c.	 The expiration of the Director’s term of service, 



 

	 	d.	 Grantee’s failure to be reelected as a Director, or 



 

	 	e.	 Grantee’s resignation as a Director for any other reason, provided that Grantee has attended at least 50%
of the total Board and committee meetings which the Grantee was eligible to attend within the 12 months preceding the resignation date. 



5.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Award shall become fully vested upon the
consummation of the Change in Control, and all restrictions on transfer shall lapse as of such date, subject to applicable law. 

6.    Rights as a Stockholder. The Grantee shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to
the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other distributions payable with respect to such shares since the date of issuance of such shares.

legend noting the limitations on transferability, the risk of forfeiture, any other restrictions under this Agreement, and applicable securities law restrictions. 

8.    No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with, limit, or affect in any way,
the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Grantee’s service at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate.

Section 409A of the Code.

Agreement, and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, or as to matters as to which this Agreement is
silent, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative. 
 13.    Entire Agreement. Subject to
the following sentence, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Plan. Notwithstanding the

Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Grantee of such provision of this Agreement. 

16.    Reformation. It is the intention of Grantee and the Company that if any of the restrictions, limitations, or
obligations of the Grantee set forth in this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, unreasonable, or otherwise unenforceable then these restrictions, limitations, or obligations shall be modified and enforced to
the greatest extent that the court deems permissible. 
 17.    Successors and Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. Each of the Company’s Affiliates shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement. The provisions of
