Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Stock Grant Certificate but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.
 
The details of your Award are as follows:

3.          SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
 
4.   RIGHT OF REACQUISITION.

(a)  The Company, shall simultaneously with termination of your status as an Eligible Employee or a Director automatically reacquire for no consideration all of the Unvested Shares, unless the Company agrees to waive its reacquisition right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares. Any such waiver shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your representative within ninety (90) days after the termination of your status as an Eligible Employee or a Director, and the Company may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being reacquired by the Company. If the Company does not waive its reacquisition right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your status as an Eligible Employee or a Director, the Company shall retain, pursuant to the Assignment form, the number of shares the Company is reacquiring.
 

 
(b)  The Company initially shall have the right to reacquire Unvested Shares for no monetary consideration (that is, for $0.00); provided, however, that the Company’s right to reacquire Unvested shares for no monetary consideration shall lapse at the vesting rate set forth in the Grant Notice.
 
(c)  The shares issued under your Award shall be held by the Company on your behalf. You agree to execute two (2) Assignment forms (with date and number of shares blank) substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III and deliver the same for use by the Company pursuant to the terms of this section.

(e)  If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of your Award, then in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you are entitled by reason of your ownership of the shares acquired under your Award shall be immediately subject to the Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the shares subject to this Reacquisition Right immediately before such event.
 
5.   RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.
