Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

Section 1. Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby issues to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, [______] restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), subject to such vesting, transfer and other restrictions and conditions as set forth in this Agreement (the “Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

Section 2. Vesting Requirements.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, the RSUs shall vest and become non-forfeitable on the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

(b) Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Section 2(a) hereof, in the event of the Participant’s termination of Service by the Company and its Affiliates due to death or Disability the RSUs will immediately vest.

(c) Other Terminations of Service. Upon the occurrence of a termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason other than death or Disability, the RSUs shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.

(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the RSUs will immediately vest.

Section 3. Settlement.

(a) [Subject to a deferral election made pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, as] [As] soon as reasonably practicable following the Vesting Date (and in any event within 60 days following the Vesting Date), RSUs that become vested and non-forfeitable shall be paid by the Company delivering to the Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that vested and became non-forfeitable pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

(b) [Deferral of Settlement. The Participant may defer settlement on the RSUs in writing on the deferral form provided with this grant setting forth the Participant’s desired settlement schedule. The deferral will not be permitted if, within the determination of the Company, such deferral would result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If the deferral is not permitted, then settlement will be made as provided in Section 3(a) hereof.]


Section 4. Restrictions on Transfer. No RSUs (nor any interest therein) may be sold, assigned, alienated, pledged, attached or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance.

Section 5. Adjustments. The Award granted hereunder shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) of the Plan.

Section 6. No Right of Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service with the Company or any Affiliate.

Section 7. Tax Withholding. The Award shall be subject to tax and/or other withholding in accordance with Section 13(e) of the Plan.

Section 8. No Rights as a Stockholder; Dividends. The Participant shall not have any privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSUs, including without limitation any right to vote any Shares underlying such RSUs or to receive dividends or other distributions in respect thereof, unless and until Shares underlying the RSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 3 hereof. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company declares any dividend the record date of which occurs while the RSUs are outstanding (i.e., have not been settled pursuant to Section 3), the Participant shall be credited a dividend equivalent in an amount and form equal to the dividend that would have been paid on the shares of Common Stock underlying such outstanding RSUs had such shares been outstanding on such record date. Any such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting, settlement and forfeiture conditions applicable to the underlying RSU with respect to which they relate, and shall vest and be settled only if the underlying RSU vests and is settled, and will be forfeited if the underlying RSU is forfeited.]

Section 9. [Clawback. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the RSUs, and any shares issued upon settlement of any vested RSUs, will be subject to cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment or repayment, as applicable, if it is determined by the Board that the Participant has engaged in detrimental activity with respect to the Company, whether discovered before or after the Participant’s service period. The Board may also impose such clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions as the Board determines necessary or appropriate.]
