2.Grant of Restricted Shares.

(a)Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, for good and valuable consideration, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Shares provided in the Grant Notice.

(b)Escrow; Blank Assignment. If the Restricted Shares are certificated, the Company shall have the right to hold in escrow the certificates representing any Restricted Shares that are subject to the Forfeiture Restriction (defined below). Concurrently with the delivery of this Restricted Stock Agreement to the Company, the Participant shall deliver a duly executed blank Assignment of Common Stock (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) with respect to the Restricted Shares.

(c)Rights as Stockholder. Until such time, if any, as the Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to the Forfeiture Restriction, the Participant or a Permitted Transferee of the Restricted Shares shall have all rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Restricted Shares, subject to the restrictive provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement.

3.Forfeiture Restriction; Treatment on Termination.

(a)Forfeiture Restriction; Vesting. Subject to clauses (b) - (d) below, if the Participant incurs a Termination prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice), (i) the Participant’s Restricted Shares shall cease vesting as of the Termination Date and (ii) all unvested Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited and returned to the Company for no consideration as of the Termination Date without any further action by the Company (the “Forfeiture Restriction”). Subject to the other clauses of this Section 3 and to compliance with all other terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall become fully vested and the Forfeiture Restriction shall lapse if the Participant remains an employee of the Company through the Vesting Date. The Restricted Shares with respect to which the Forfeiture Restriction lapses in accordance with this Section 3 shall be released from escrow (if applicable) and delivered to the Participant, subject to collection of applicable Withholding Taxes in accordance with Section 7.

(c)Disability/Retirement. Subject to Section 7(b), if the Participant incurs a Termination due to Disability or Retirement, the Restricted Shares shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, continue to vest as provided in the Grant Notice as if the Participant had continued Employment through the Vesting Date, subject to the Participant’s compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 6 and the Participant’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a waiver and release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries in a form prescribed by the Company on or prior to the 60th day following the Termination Date.

(d)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, to the extent the acquiring or successor entity does assume, continue or substitute the Restricted Shares, if the Participant incurs a Termination by the Service Recipient without Cause (other than due to death, Disability or Retirement) during the period commencing on the date of the consummation of a Change in Control and ending on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the consummation of such Change in Control, the Restricted Shares shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested and the Forfeiture Restriction shall lapse.

(e)Recapitalization. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be immediately subject to the Forfeiture Restriction, but only to the extent the Restricted Shares are at the time covered by such Forfeiture Restriction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution





shall be made to the number and/or class of Restricted Shares subject to this Restricted Stock Agreement and to the Forfeiture Restriction in order to reflect the effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Company’s capital structure.

4.Transfer Restrictions.

(a)Non-Transferability. The Restricted Shares that are subject to the Forfeiture Restriction shall not be transferable by the Participant except to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan. Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Restricted Stock Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to executors, the administrators or the person or persons to whom the Restricted Shares may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with Section 14 of the Plan, the word “Participant” shall be deemed to include such person or persons. Except as otherwise provided in this Restricted Stock Agreement or the Plan, no assignment or transfer of the Restricted Shares, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right in this Restricted Stock Agreement or the Plan whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company for no consideration.

(b)Transferee Obligations. Each Permitted Transferee must, as a condition precedent to the validity of a transfer of the Restricted Shares, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement and that the transferred Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the same extent such shares would be so subject if retained by the Participant.

(c)Restrictive Legend. The stock certificates for the Restricted Shares shall be endorsed with, or in the event the Restricted Shares are uncertificated, the pertinent book-entry records shall note, a restrictive legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 9(e) of the Plan.

5.Repayment of Proceeds; Clawback Policy. If a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs or the Company discovers after a Termination that grounds existed for Cause at the time thereof, then, in addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), (a) the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company for no consideration and/or (b) the Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days of the Company’s request to the Participant therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) the Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the Restricted Shares. Any reference in this Restricted Stock Agreement to grounds existing for a Termination for Cause shall be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period, or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of or termination with, Cause. The Restricted Shares and all proceeds thereof shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy (to comply with applicable laws or with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines or other similar requirements), as in effect from time to time, to the extent the Participant is a director or “officer” as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Restrictive Covenants. To the extent that the Participant is a party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company or one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries containing non-competition, non-solicitation, non-interference or confidentiality restrictions (or two or more such restrictions), those restrictions and related enforcement provisions under such agreement shall govern and the following provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply.

(b)Competitive Activity. To the extent a Participant lives in a jurisdiction where restrictive covenants are void as against public policy, this Section 6(b) shall be considered deleted from and therefore not part of this Agreement.

(i)The Participant shall be deemed to have engaged in “Competitive Activity” if, during the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that is 12 months after the Termination Date





(the “Restricted Activity Period”), the Participant, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person (as defined below), directly or indirectly, violates any of the following prohibitions:

(I)    During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any individual, person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly, solicit or assist in soliciting in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the business of any client or prospective client:
(1)
with whom the Participant had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date;

(2)
with whom employees reporting to the Participant have had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date; or

(3)
for whom the Participant had direct or indirect responsibility during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date.

(II)    During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not directly or indirectly:
(1)
engage in any business that competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including, but not limited to, providing formulation/dose form technologies and/or contract services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, over-the-counter and vitamins/minerals/supplements companies related to pre-clinical and clinical development, formulation, analysis, manufacturing and/or packaging and any other technology, product  or service of the type developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, any other business that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates have plans to engage in as of the Termination Date) in any geographical area where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates conducts business (a “Competitive Business”);

(2)
enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling Affiliate of any Person) who or which engages in a Competitive Business;

(3)
acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or

(4)
interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, any business relationship (whether formed before, on or after the Date of Grant) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any customer, client, supplier, or investor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in any Competitive Business that are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if the Participant





(i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. Any such qualifying ownership shall not be deemed to be engaging in Competitive Activity or a Restrictive Covenant Violation for purposes of this Restricted Stock Agreement.
(III)    During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, directly or indirectly:
(1)
solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to leave such Employment; or

(2)
hire any such employee who was employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as of the Termination Date or who left the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates coincident with, or within six (6) months prior to or after, the Termination Date; provided, however, that this restriction shall cease to apply to any employee who has not been employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for at least six (6) months.

(IV)    During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any consultant then under contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(ii)It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Participant and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 6(b) to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Restricted Stock Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Participant, the provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Restricted Stock Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained in this Section 6(b).

(c)Confidentiality

(i)The Participant will not at any time (whether during or after the Participant’s Employment) (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of the Participant or any other Person; or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any Person outside the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries (other than its professional advisors who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public, proprietary or confidential information --including without limitation trade secrets, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals -- concerning the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to the Company on a confidential basis (“Confidential Information”) without the prior written authorization of the Board.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(c)(i), “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that (w) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6(c); (x) is already known by the recipient of the disclosed information at the time of disclosure as evidenced by the recipient’s written records, (y) becomes available to the recipient of the disclosed information on a non-confidential basis from a source that is entitled to disclose it on a non-confidential basis,





or (z) was or is independently developed by or for the recipient of the information without reference to Confidential Information, as evidenced by the recipient’s written records.

(iii)Except as required by law, the Participant will not disclose to anyone, other than the Participant’s immediate family and legal or financial or tax advisors or lender, each of whom the Participant agrees to instruct not to disclose, the existence or contents of this Restricted Stock Agreement (unless this Restricted Stock Agreement shall be publicly available as a result of a regulatory filing made by the Company or one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided, that the Participant may disclose to any prospective future employer the provisions of Section 6 of this Restricted Stock Agreement provided such future employer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such terms.

(iv)Upon Termination, the Participant shall (x) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in the Participant’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in the Participant’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company or one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, except that the Participant may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which the Participant is or becomes aware.

(d)Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the remedies set forth in Section 5 above and notwithstanding any other remedy that would otherwise be available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company and the Participant agree and acknowledge that if an actual or threatened Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs, the Company will be entitled to an injunction and/or other equitable relief restraining the Participant from the Restrictive Covenant Violation without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

(e)Permitted Conduct. Nothing in this Restricted Stock Agreement, including clause (c) (Confidentiality), restricts or prohibits the Participant from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a governmental agency or entity, including without limitation the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. This Restricted Stock Agreement does not limit the Participant’s right to receive an award from any Regulator that provides awards for providing information relating to a potential violation of law. The Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this clause, and the Participant does not need to notify the Company that the Participant has engaged in such conduct. Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to an individual who discloses a trade secret to the individual’s attorney, a court, or a governmental official in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.

7.Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any Withholding Taxes in respect of the Restricted Shares or to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect the interests of the Company in respect of such Withholding Tax liabilities, in accordance with this Section 7.






(a)The Participant may elect to satisfy all or a portion of the obligation set forth in this Section 7 for Withholding Taxes in one or more of the following forms:

(i)in cash or check made payable to the Company;

(ii)by requesting that the Company withhold from the Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant (in accordance with Section 3) or otherwise cause the Company to record the forfeiture of a number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value as of the date on which such obligation for Withholding Taxes arises, not in excess of the amount of such Withholding Taxes determined by using the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates, or such other amount or rate determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion (the “Share Withholding Method”); or

(iii)subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Securities Trading Policy as then in effect, from proceeds of a same-day or next-day sale of a portion of the Restricted Shares effected by the Company’s designated broker.

(b)In the absence of a full satisfaction of the obligation set forth in this Section 7 within five (5) days of the date when the Forfeiture Restriction shall have lapsed, or such earlier date, if any, when the Company shall be required to have satisfied its obligation under applicable law with respect to Withholding Taxes, the Participant’s acceptance of the Restricted Shares and this Restricted Stock Agreement shall constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company’s designated broker to effect the sale contemplated by Section 7(a)(iii) in accordance with this Section 7(b).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Restricted Stock Agreement, if the Restricted Shares are taxable to the Participant at a date earlier than the Vesting Date as a result of the Participant’s Disability or Retirement eligibility and the Restricted Shares shall not have previously been forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement, then the Company shall accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Shares, and the Forfeiture Restriction shall lapse, with respect only to the number of Restricted Shares having a Fair Market Value sufficient, but not in excess of the amount needed, to satisfy the Withholding Taxes determined by using the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates, or such other amount or rate determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion. The remainder of the Restricted Shares shall continue to vest and be subject to the Forfeiture Restriction in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement.

8.Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and the Participant shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as provided in this Restricted Stock Agreement; provided that, unless and until some other address is so designated, all notices or communications by the Participant to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Participant may be given to the Participant personally or may be mailed to the Participant at the Participant’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. Notwithstanding the above, all notices and communications between the Participant and any third-party plan administrator shall be mailed, delivered, transmitted or sent in accordance with the procedures established by such third-party plan administrator and communicated to the Participant from time to time.

9.No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Restricted Stock Agreement nor the granting of the Restricted Shares that are the subject of this Restricted Stock Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries. Further, the Company, or, if different, the Service Recipient, may at any time dismiss the Participant or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this Restricted Stock Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Restricted Stock Agreement.






10.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, including but not limited to any advice relating to the application of Code Section 83 to the Restricted Shares or compliance with the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor is the Company making any recommendation regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with the Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

11.Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and without reservation consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Restricted Stock Agreement and any other Restricted Stock grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Service Recipient, the Company and its other Affiliates or Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company and the Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Shares or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, 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. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipient of the Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and any other possible recipient that 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendment to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 11, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing on a purely voluntary basis the consents described in this Restricted Stock Agreement. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s Employment and career with the Service Recipient will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Shares or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.
12.Binding Effect. This Restricted Stock Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and, to the extent permitted, assigns or other Permitted Transferees of the parties to this Restricted Stock Agreement.

13.Waiver and Amendments. Subject to Section 13(b) of the Plan, the Committee may waive any condition or right under, amend any term of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Restricted Stock





Agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after the Participant’s Termination); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant under this Restricted Stock Agreement shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrence or transaction under this Restricted Stock Agreement unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

14.Governing Law; Venue. This Restricted Stock Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Restricted Stock Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in Somerset County, New Jersey, and hereby waive any objection to proceeding in such jurisdiction, including any objection regarding an inconvenient forum.

15.Plan. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated in this Restricted Stock Agreement by reference. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Plan shall govern and control.

16.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any document related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

17.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose any other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Shares and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreement or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

18.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws of one or more countries, that may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by applicable laws). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company securities trading policy. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restriction and is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

19.Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous. This Restricted Stock Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Restricted Shares. This Restricted Stock Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan supersede any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Restricted Shares.
