GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK

2.1    Grant of Restricted Stock.    Effective as of the grant date specified on the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company hereby agrees to issue the Shares to Participant, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement.

2.2    Issuance of Shares.    The issuance of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of the Grant Notice by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Participant shall agree (the “Issuance Date”). Subject to Section 2.3, the Company shall issue the Shares (which shall be issued in Participant’s name) on the Issuance Date.

2.3    Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates.    The Shares, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)    The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;

(b)    The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any U.S. state, federal, foreign or local law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

(c)    The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state, federal, foreign or local governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

(d)    The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the Issuance Date as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience; and

III.

RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES

3.1    Forfeiture Restriction.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2 through 3.4, upon Participant’s termination of service as a Director of the Company for any or no reason, all of the Unreleased Shares shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company (the “Forfeiture Restriction”). Upon the occurrence of such a forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being forfeited and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being forfeited by Participant. In the event any of the Unreleased Shares are forfeited under this Section 3.1, any cash, cash equivalents, assets or securities received by or distributed to Participant with respect to, in exchange for or in substitution of such Shares and held by the escrow agent pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 3.7 shall be promptly transferred by the escrow agent to the Company.

3.2    Release of Shares from Forfeiture Restriction.    The Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction as indicated in the Grant Notice and Sections 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable. Any of the Shares released from the Forfeiture Restriction shall thereupon be released from the restrictions on transfer under Section 3.6. In the event any of the Shares are released from the Forfeiture Restriction, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the escrow agent pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 3.7 shall be promptly paid by the escrow agent to Participant.

3.3    Accelerated Vesting.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2 or the Grant Notice, the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction immediately prior to Participant’s termination of service as a Director of the Company if Participant’s termination of service occurs by reason of Participant’s death or permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)).

3.4    Effect of Change in Control.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 3.1 through 3.3 or the Grant Notice, in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)    If the successor or surviving entity (or any affiliate thereto) (i) allows the Shares to remain outstanding or (ii) replaces the Shares with shares of restricted stock of such successor or surviving entity (or any affiliate thereto) that preserve the existing value of the Shares at the time of the Change in Control and that provide for a lapse of forfeiture in accordance with a vesting schedule that is the same or more favorable to Participant than the Share vesting schedule set forth herein (any such


award, a “Substitute Award”), the Shares or such Substitute Award shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions set forth in the Plan, subject to Section 3.4(c).

(b)    If the successor or surviving entity (or any affiliate thereto) does not allow the Shares to remain outstanding or replace the Shares as provided in Section 3.4(a), the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control.

(c)    If the successor or surviving entity (or any affiliate thereto) allows the Shares to remain outstanding or replaces the Shares as provided in Section 3.4(a) and Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination, (i) the Shares (if assumed) shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction immediately prior to the date of such termination and (ii) the forfeiture restrictions on any Substitute Award shall lapse immediately prior to such termination. For purposes of the foregoing, a “Qualifying Termination” means Participant’s termination of service as a Director of the Company after a Change in Control but prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs (i) in connection with a request made by the Company or the Board that Participant resign as a Director of the Company or (ii) as a result of Participant not being nominated for re-election as a Director of the Company in connection with the Change in Control.

3.5    Unreleased Shares.    Any of the Shares which, from time to time, have not yet been released from the Forfeiture Restriction are referred to herein as Unreleased Shares.”

3.6    Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Subject to Section 3.6(b), no Unreleased Shares or any dividends or other distributions thereon or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or Participant’s successors in interest or shall be subject to sale or other disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such sale or other 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 sale or other disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrator, Participants who reside in the U.S. may transfer the Unreleased Shares to one or more “Permitted Transferees” (as defined below), subject to the following terms and conditions”

(i) the Unreleased Shares shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

(ii) the Unreleased Shares shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, as amended from time to time, as applicable to Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Unreleased Shares); and

(iii) Participant and the Permitted Transferee execute any and all documents requested by the Company, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal and U.S. state securities laws, and (C) evidence the transfer.

Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to Participant, any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any


person sharing Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, any other entity in which these persons (or Participant) own more than 50% of the voting interests, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Administrator.

3.7    Restrictions on Distributions, etc.    Subject to Section 3.4, in the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, other securities or other property, but excluding money paid as a regular cash dividend), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Stock, then any new or additional or different shares or securities or property (including cash) which is paid, issued, exchanged or distributed in respect of Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restriction shall be subject to the Forfeiture Restriction and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.6 and shall be considered to be Unreleased Shares, until such restrictions on the underlying Shares lapse or are removed pursuant to this Agreement (or, if such Shares are no longer outstanding, until such time as such Shares would have been released from the Forfeiture Restriction pursuant to this Agreement). The Administrator may require any new or additional or different shares or securities or property (including cash) considered to be Unreleased Shares pursuant to this Section 3.7 to be deposited with the Secretary of the Company, or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint, as Participant’s attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such new or additional or different shares or securities or property (including cash) considered to be Unreleased Shares pursuant to this Section 3.7, if any, forfeited pursuant to Section 3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Administrator to adjust Unreleased Shares or make other adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Plan.

 

IV.

OTHER PROVISIONS

4.1    Administration.    The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be binding, conclusive and final upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Shares.

4.2    Taxes.    Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Participant understands that Participant will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes under Section 83 of the Code as the restrictions applicable to the Unreleased Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” includes the Forfeiture Restriction. Participant understands that Participant may elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes at the time the Shares are issued rather than as and when the Forfeiture Restriction lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service no later than 30 days following the date of purchase.


PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

4.3    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

(a)    In order to enforce the Forfeiture Restriction and the other restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Administrator may cause one or more legends referencing the Forfeiture Restriction and other restrictions, and any other legend(s) that may be required by applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, to be placed on the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares.

(b)    Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

(c)    The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.

4.4    No Right to Continue in Service.    Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its stockholders (or of a Subsidiary and its stockholders, as the case may be), which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate Participant’s services at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

4.5    Data Privacy.    This Section 4.5 applies to Participant only if Participant resides outside of the U.S. If Participant resides outside the U.S., then Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials related to the Shares by the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of the Shares or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Company’s


General Counsel. Participant authorizes the Company, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Company’s General Counsel.
