ARTICLE II
GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK
2.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any parent or subsidiary thereof and for other good and valuable consideration, which the Committee has determined exceeds the par value of the Shares, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to Participant the right to purchase the number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Shares”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

(a) The issuance of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company, upon payment of the Purchase Price by Participant, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties (the “Issuance Date”). Subject to the provisions of Articles III and IV below, on the Issuance Date, the Company shall issue the Shares (which shall be issued in Participant’s name). At the sole discretion of the Committee, the Shares will be issued in either (a) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement, and upon vesting and the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article III hereof, the Company shall cause certificates representing the Shares to be issued to Participant; or (b) certificate form pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.4 Tax Withholding; Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) No Shares shall be issued or delivered to Participant or his legal representative unless and until Participant or his legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of Shares or the lapse or removal of the restrictions thereon or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement (which payment may be made in cash, by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant or in any form of consideration permitted by the Plan). As provided in Section 15.3 of the Plan, the Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow the return of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.

RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES

service (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company), have an irrevocable, exclusive option, but not the obligation, for a period of ninety days after the date Participant’s employment or service terminates, to repurchase all or any portion of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below in Section 3.3) at such time (the “Company’s Repurchase Option”) at the Purchase Price per Share (the “Repurchase Price”). The Company’s Repurchase Option shall lapse and terminate ninety days after the Participant’s termination of employment or service.

Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased 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 repurchased by the Company. In the event the Company repurchases any Shares under this Section 3.1, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the escrow agent pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be promptly paid by the escrow agent to the Company.

in exchange for or in substitution of the Shares as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company shall also be subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option (as defined in Section 3.1 above) and the restrictions on transfer in Section 3.4 above 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 Company’s Repurchase Option pursuant to this Agreement). In addition, in the event of any merger, consolidation, share exchange or reorganization affecting the Shares, including, without limitation, a Change in Control, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) that is by reason of any such transaction received with respect to, in exchange for or in substitution of the Shares shall also be subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option (as defined in Section 3.1 above) and the restrictions on transfer in Section 3.4 above 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 Company’s Repurchase Option pursuant to this Agreement).

No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Shares. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan and this Agreement.
5.3 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the address given beneath the signature of an authorized officer of the Company on the Grant Notice, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the address given beneath Participant’s signature on the Grant Notice. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.3, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
5.4 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
5.5 Construction. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be
A-5
administered, and the Shares are to be issued, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
5.7 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Participant and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
5.8 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
