1. Grant of Restricted Share Units. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, an award (the “Award”) of restricted share units under the Plan.  Each restricted share unit represents the right to receive one Common Share on the vesting date of that unit.  The number of Common Shares subject to the awarded restricted share units, the applicable vesting schedule for the restricted share units and the underlying shares, the dates on which those vested shares shall be issued to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

Issuance Dates:

	
Each Share in which Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule shall be issued on the date (the “Issuance Date”) on which that Share so vests or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which such Issuance Date occurs or (if later) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following such Issuance Date.

2. Limited Transferability.  Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest and become issuable hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares.  Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award.  Participant may make such a beneficiary designation at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Compensation Committee or its designee.

 

3. Cessation of Employment.

 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3, should Participant cease employment or service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then the Award shall be immediately canceled with respect to those unvested Shares, and the number of restricted share units will be reduced accordingly.  Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those canceled units.

 

(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(a), in the event of Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate (prior to vesting in all the Shares subject to this Award) by reason of Participant’s death or by the Company or an Affiliate on account of Disability or by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, this Award shall immediately vest with respect to the additional number of Shares determined by multiplying (i) the number of Shares in which Participant would have vested had Participant continued in employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the next annual vesting date (as set forth in the Vesting Schedule above) immediately succeeding the date of such termination by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of months (rounded to the next whole month) that Participant continued in employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate during the applicable one-year vesting period in which Participant’s termination occurs and the denominator of which is twelve (12).  Those vested Shares shall be issued to Participant, subject to the Company’s collection of the Applicable Taxes, on the date of such termination or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which such termination occurs or (if later) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following such termination date.

 

(c) In addition, this Award (to the extent unvested and outstanding) shall vest in full upon Participant’s Involuntary Termination within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control under the Plan.

 

(d)  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”, “Disability” and “Involuntary Termination” shall be as defined in the employment agreement between Participant and the Company dated June 26, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”).

4. Shares.

 

(a) On the Issuance Date or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Company shall issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the number of Common Shares underlying the restricted share units which vest under the Award on such date, subject, however, to the Company’s collection of any Applicable Taxes.

 

(b) Any Applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance of the vested Shares shall be paid through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, at the time of such issuance, a portion of the Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of those taxes; provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require that such Applicable Taxes be paid through Participant’s delivery of his or her separate check payable to the Company in the amount of such taxes.

 

(c) In no event will any fractional shares be issued.

 

(d) The holder of this Award shall not have any shareholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the satisfaction of the Applicable Taxes.

 

5. Clawback.  If Participant has breached any restrictive covenant (whether non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement or confidentiality) under any agreement between Participant and the Company (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement) or an Affiliate during employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate or during the one (1) year period following termination of Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate, or to the extent required by any policy adopted by the Company or applicable law, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Award (and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to  receive any Shares under this Award) to the extent outstanding and to cancel and/or require the Participant to return any Shares issued hereunder and be paid any proceeds received by Participant from the sale of Shares issued hereunder.

 

6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.  The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares as the Compensation Committee may consider appropriate and may require Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in order to be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

7. Successors and Assigns.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant and Participant’s assigns, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors.

-3-

  

 

ii.           Obligation Absolute.   The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.

iii.           Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of herein) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable.

iv.           Transfer Taxes.   The issuance of  certificates for  shares of  the Common Stock on  conversion of  the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect  of  any  transfer  involved  in  the  issuance  and  delivery  of  any  such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

Section 6.  Certain Adjustments.

 

a)        Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to this Preferred Sock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Holders shall receive, upon conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock such Holder would have been entitled to receive assuming such Holder converted such Preferred Stock immediately prior to the applicable event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)        Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case, the Holders shall receive, upon conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock or other property such Holder would have been entitled to receive assuming such Holder converted such Preferred Stock immediately prior to the applicable event.  The adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

  

-4-

  

 

c)        Calculations.   All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

d)    Notice to Holders; Adjustment to Conversion  Ratio.

a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a Holder of shares of Preferred Stock convert shares of the Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a Holder providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive Section 7(a) of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, this Section 7(a) shall be of no force or effect with regard to  those  shares of  Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.

c)        Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate.  If a Holder’s Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.
