2.           Vesting Schedule and Conversion of SUAs.

(b)           Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth in subsection (a) above, if there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), then so long as the Awardee shall have continued to serve as a director of the Company through the date which is one day prior to the actual closing date of the transaction giving rise to such Change in Control (the “Acceleration Date”), then all of the SUA’s that are unvested on the Acceleration Date shall become vested in full on the Acceleration Date, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 18 of this Award Agreement.  For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean  (i) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Common Stock of the Company immediately before the consummation of such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result of the transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company either directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries); and (B) no person or group (as defined in Section 13(d) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the Company or the corporation resulting from the Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 30% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the corporation resulting from the Business Combination;  (ii) Individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided, however, that any individual's becoming a director after the date of this Agreement whose election, or nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though the individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or (iii) any person (as defined in Section 13(d) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall become at any time or in any manner the beneficial owner of capital stock of the Company representing more than 30% of the voting power of the Company.

3.           Termination of Awardee’s Status as a Director.   Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 below, in the event of termination, for any reason, of Awardee’s status as a director of the Company, Awardee’s rights under this Award Agreement in any unvested SUAs shall terminate.

4.           Disability of Awardee.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above, in the event of termination of Awardee’s status as a director of the Company as a result of disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and hereinafter referred to as “Disability”), the SUAs which would have vested during the twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, set out in Section 2(a) above, shall become vested as of the date of such termination, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 18 of this Award Agreement.  The Awardee’s rights in any unvested SUAs that remain unvested after the application of this Section 4 shall terminate at the time Awardee ceases to be a director of the Company.

 

5.           Death of Awardee.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above, in the event of the death of Awardee:

(a)           If Awardee is, at the time of death, a director of the Company, the SUAs which would have vested during the twelve (12) months following the date of death of Awardee, set out in Section 2(a) above, shall become vested as of the date of death.

(b)           The Awardee’s rights in any unvested SUAs that remain after the application of Section 5(a) shall terminate at the time of the Awardee’s death.

6.           Conversion of SUAs to shares of Common Stock; Responsibility for Taxes.  

(a)           Provided Awardee has satisfied the requirements of Section 6(b) below, and subject, however, to the provisions of Section 18 of this Award Agreement, on the vesting of any SUAs, such vested SUAs shall be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock that will be distributed to Awardee or, in the event of Awardee’s death, to Awardee’s legal representative, as soon as practicable.  An Awardee’s rights with respect to the SUA’s issued under this Award Agreement shall terminate at the time such SUAs are converted into shares of Common Stock.  The distribution to the Awardee, or in the case of the Awardee’s death, to the Awardee’s legal representative, of shares of Common Stock in respect of the vested SUAs shall be evidenced by a stock certificate, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company.

(b)           Prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon vesting of SUAs as provided in Section 6(a) above, Awardee shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company (in its sole discretion) to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company, to the extent applicable.

 

(c)           In lieu of issuing fractional shares of Common Stock, on the vesting of a fraction of a SUA, the Company shall round the shares to the nearest whole share and any such share which represents a fraction of a SUA will be included in a subsequent vest date.

(d)           Until the distribution to Awardee of the shares of Common Stock in respect to the vested SUAs is evidenced by a stock certificate, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, or other appropriate means, Awardee shall have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares of Common Stock, notwithstanding the vesting of SUAs.  Subject to the provisions of Section 18 of this Award Agreement, the Company shall cause such distribution to Awardee to occur promptly upon the vesting of SUAs.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date Awardee is recorded as the owner of the shares of Common Stock, except as provided in Section 7 of the Plan.

7.           Non-Transferability of SUAs.   Awardee’s right in the SUAs awarded under this Award Agreement and any interest therein may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, prior to the distribution of the shares of Common Stock in respect of such SUAs.  SUAs shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process.

This Award Agreement is intended to be in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder to the extent applicable. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code.  The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. Solely for the purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the share increments issuable on each vesting date on Schedule A shall be considered a separate payment.   The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Awardee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
