WHEREAS, it has been determined that it would be to the advantage and best interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant Holder the Restricted Stock award as an inducement to enter into or remain in the service of the Company and as an incentive for increased efforts during such service.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.2 - Consideration to the Company. As partial consideration for the issuance of the Restricted Stock by the Company, Holder agrees to render faithful and efficient services as a director of the Company.

Neither the Restricted Stock subject to the Forfeiture Restriction nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of Holder or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that, this Section 2.2(a) shall not prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO.
(b) Holder hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the Restricted Stock upon forfeiture and surrender pursuant to the Forfeiture Restriction pursuant to Section 2.1 from Holder (or Holders legal representative) to the Company.
(c) To ensure the availability for delivery of Holders Restricted Stock upon forfeiture and surrender of the Restricted Stock by Holder and transfer of the Restricted Stock to the Company pursuant to the Forfeiture Restriction under Section 2.1, Holder hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company, or any other person designated by the Company as escrow agent, as Holders attorney-in-fact to assign and transfer unto the Company, such Restricted Stock pursuant to the Forfeiture Restriction and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, execute, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share certificate(s) representing the Restricted Stock (or such account or other evidence representing the issuance of the Restricted Stock to Holder), together with the Assignment Separate from Certificate duly endorsed in blank, attached as Exhibit 1-C hereto, and the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Holder attached as Exhibit 1-D hereto. The Restricted Stock and Assignment Separate from Certificate shall be held by the Secretary (or other escrow agent) in escrow, pursuant to Joint Escrow Instructions, until the Restricted Stock is transferred to the Company pursuant to the Forfeiture Restriction as provided in Section 2.1, until such Restricted Stock (or portion thereof) is no longer subject to the Restrictions, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. At such time as the Restrictions lapse as to some or all of the Restricted Stock, the Secretary (or other escrow agent) shall promptly deliver to Holder (or Holders legal representative) the certificate or certificates (or such account or other evidence) representing the Restricted Stock that is no longer subject to the Restrictions in the Secretarys (or other escrow agents) possession belonging to Holder and at such time as there are no longer any Restricted Stock that is subject to the Restrictions, the Secretary (or other escrow agent) shall promptly deliver to Holder (or Holders legal representative) the certificate or certificates (or such account or other evidence) representing any remaining Restricted Stock in the escrow agents possession belonging to Holder, and the Secretary (or other escrow agent) shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder.
