Any shares of Stock granted under the Plan as the Base Annual Retainer or Supplemental Annual Retainer under clause (ii) above will be 100% vested and nonforfeitable as of the Stock Grant Date, and the Eligible Participant receiving such shares of Stock (or his or her custodian, if any) will have immediate rights of ownership in the shares of Stock, including the right to vote the shares of Stock and the right to receive dividends or other distributions thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Independent Director elected or appointed to the Board prior to the date that the Company has raised $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds (the “Minimum Offering Date”), and who remains an Independent Director as of the Minimum Offering Date, shall receive such initial Restricted Stock grant on the Minimum Offering Date.

7.3. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a written Award Notification, and shall be subject to such restrictions and risk of forfeiture as determined by the Board, and shall be granted under and pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Unless and until provided otherwise by the Board, the Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 herein shall vest and become non-forfeitable over two (2) years in equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the first quarter following the Restricted Stock grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the Independent Director’s service as a director of the Company due to his or her death or Disability; or (ii) a Change in Control of the Company. If the Independent Director’s service as a director of the Company terminates other than as described in clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, then the Independent Director shall forfeit all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any unvested shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of such termination from the Board and such Restricted Stock shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Independent Director.

8.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, require stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of a securities exchange on which the Stock is listed or traded, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason.
