Nontransferability    This grant is an award of Stock in the number of shares set forth on the cover sheet (“Stock Award”). To the extent the Stock is held in escrow as set forth below, your Stock may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
Vesting    Your right to the Stock under this Agreement vests as to 100% of the total number of shares of Stock covered by this grant on the Grant Date.
Issuance and Delivery   

The issuance of the Stock under this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more Stock certificates. To the extent certificates are issued, such certificates will be held in escrow with the Secretary of the Company until the applicable Delivery Date (as described herein).

 

On each of the first three annual anniversaries of the IPO Effective Date (each a “Delivery Date”), 1/3rd (one-third) of the number of shares of Stock covered by this Agreement will be delivered to you. Any fractional shares scheduled to be delivered on a Delivery Date shall remain in escrow and instead shall be delivered as of the next Delivery Date.

Shareholder Rights    You have the right to vote the Stock and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto.
Death    If your death occurs before the Stock covered by this Agreement is delivered to you, the Stock will be delivered to your beneficiary as designated on the beneficiary designation form attached hereto.
Withholding Taxes    You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of this Stock Award or the payment of dividends on the Stock. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the making of this Stock Award or the payment of dividends on the Stock, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate (as defined below) (including withholding


   amounts from any cash portion of the EAR Bonus).
   “Affiliate” means any company or other trade or business that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, including, without limitation, any subsidiary corporation within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Applicable Law    This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
Entire Agreement    This Agreement and the Rights Agreement constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant of Stock. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded.
