3.

4. Vesting. Subject to Paragraph 3 hereof, Participant shall vest in his rights under the Restricted Shares and the Company’s right to repurchase such shares shall lapse upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) consummation by the Company, or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, of a significant transaction pursuant to which the Company, such subsidiary and/or their respective equityholders receive gross consideration in excess of $200 million; provided, however, that a Change of Control or such significant transaction occurs on or prior to March 31, 2009; provided, further, that Participant remains continuously employed by the Company until the occurrence of a Change of Control or consummation of such significant transaction. If a Change of Control or significant transaction does not occur on or prior to March 31, 2009, the Restricted Shares shall not vest and shall be forfeited back

to the Company. If prior to March 31, 2009 Participant’s employment or other service with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be terminated for any reason, any Restricted Shares not then vested shall not vest (except as otherwise provided herein) and shall be forfeited back to the Company; provided, however, that any such Restricted Shares not then vested shall vest upon the death or Disability of Participant.

6. Reorganization of the Company. The existence of this Grant shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; any merger or consolidation of the Company; any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Restricted Shares or the rights thereof; the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
