Restricted Shares/ Nontransferability

This grant is an award of Shares in the number of Shares set forth on the cover sheet subject to the vesting conditions described below (“Restricted Shares”). To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Shares be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Issuance and Vesting

The Company will, in its sole discretion, either (i) issue your Restricted Shares in your name as of the Grant Date, or (ii) maintain a record of this grant and issue any Shares as and when such Shares vest. 

Your right to the Shares under this Restricted Share Agreement vests as to the total number of Shares covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the date of the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2009.

Your right to the Shares under this Restricted Share Agreement will become fully vested on your termination of service due to death or Disability, or in the event of a Change in Control. No additional Shares will vest after your service has terminated for any reason.

Forfeiture of Unvested Shares

In the event that your service terminates for any reason other than death or Disability or in the event of a Change in Control, you will forfeit to the Company all of the Shares subject to this grant that have not yet vested.

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 the vesting of Shares acquired under this grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting of Shares arising from this grant, 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.

Retention Rights

This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.

Shareholder Rights

You have the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such Shares. Any distributions you receive as a result of any split, stock dividend, combination of Shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Shares and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your share certificate is issued.

Adjustments

In the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of Shares covered by this grant may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
