General Terms and Conditions (as amended and restated effective May 28, 2015)

    
		
	1.
	Restrictions.  The Restricted Shares are restricted as to disposition and may not be pledged; and are subject to forfeiture unless certain conditions are met.  The Company’s transfer agent has been advised that the Restricted Shares cannot be sold, transferred, re-registered or disposed of until the restrictions on the shares lapse.  Restricted Shares shall vest, and the restrictions shall no longer apply, as to the number or percentage of Restricted Shares and on the dates specified above as the “Vesting Schedule.” A further restriction on the Restricted Shares is that you shall only be entitled to receive Shares free of restrictions if, at the time of the lapse of such restrictions, you are then serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall have been continuously serving in that capacity since the date of grant of the Restricted Shares.  If you do not meet these conditions at any time, such Restricted Shares shall be forfeited.

Dividend rights and voting rights will be cancelled in the event the Restricted Shares are forfeited.

		
	3.
	Book Entry for Restricted Shares.  You will not receive a certificate for the Restricted Shares; instead, the Restricted Shares will be credited as a book entry to an account in your name with the Company’s transfer agent.  At such time as the restrictions lapse, those Shares that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be transferred to a non-restricted account in your name with the transfer agent or as otherwise directed by you and agreed by the Company.

		
	4.
	Death or Disability.  In the event of termination of service as a director due to death or Disability, all Restricted Shares shall vest immediately and be free of restrictions.  

		
	5.
	Change in Control.  Subject to Article 2.7 and Article 13 of the Plan, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchange, the Restricted Shares still subject to restrictions under this Agreement shall automatically vest and all restrictions shall lapse upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

		
	6.
	Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.  In accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan, in the event that there is a change in the Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, combinations or exchanges of shares, then the Restricted Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner as other shares of  Common Stock are adjusted.

		
	7.
	Tax Withholding.  If the Participant is subject to withholding of taxes, the Board shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Award, as provided in the Plan. 

		
	8.
	Transferability.  This Agreement and the Restricted Shares granted hereunder, until such time as the restrictions on the Shares have lapsed, may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

	Administration and Interpretation.  This Award Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Board may adopt for administration of the Plan.

At such time as the restrictions lapse, those Shares that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be transferred to a non-restricted account in your name with the transfer agent or as otherwise directed by you and agreed by the Company.

4.  Death, Disability or Retirement.
