You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan. This Agreement, the attached Exhibits and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award of Common Stock. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations are superseded. AWARD OF COMMON STOCK The Company awards you the number of shares of Common Stock shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement. These shares are referred to in this Agreement as your "Restricted Shares." The Award is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. This Award is not intended to constitute a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and will be interpreted accordingly. VESTING As long as you render continuous service to the Company (or its parent or Subsidiary), you will become incrementally vested as to 33% of the total number of Restricted Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) as shown on the attached cover sheet on the one year anniversary of the Vesting Date and an additional 16.75% of the total number of Restricted Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) each six-months thereafter, with the result that 100% of the Restricted Shares shall be vested three years from the Vesting Date. Except as set forth below, in the event that your service ceases prior to the third anniversary of the Award date, you will forfeit to the Company all of the unvested Restricted Shares. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Company may issue stop-transfer instructions on the Restricted Shares to the Company's transfer agent, or otherwise hold the Restricted Shares in escrow, until the Restricted Shares have vested and you have satisfied all applicable obligations with respect to the Restricted Shares, including any applicable tax withholding obligations. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is issued or distributed with respect to the unvested Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the unvested Restricted Shares under this Agreement and the Plan. ACCELERATION UPON If your employment with the Company is terminated as QUALIFYING a result of a Qualifying Termination, the unvested TERMINATION Common Stock subject to this Award shall, upon the effectiveness of the Release executed by you, automatically 2 vest for that portion of this Award that would have vested if you had remained in the employment of the Company through and including the first anniversary of the date of such termination of employment. ACCELERATION If your employment with the Company is terminated as UPON DEATH OR a result of your death or Disability, the unvested DISABILITY Common Stock subject to this Award shall, upon the effectiveness of the Release executed by you (or your personal representative if applicable), automatically vest for that portion of this Award that would have vested if you had remained in the employment of the Company through and including the first anniversary of the date of such termination of employment. ACCELERATION In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Common UPON CORPORATE Stock subject to this Award that is at the time TRANSACTION unvested shall automatically accelerate so as to become 100% vested immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Common Stock subject to this Award shall not so accelerate, however, if and to the extent that this Award is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof (the "Successor Corporation") or to be replaced with a comparable award of shares of the capital stock of the Successor Corporation. The determination of award comparability shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding. If this Award is not assumed by the Successor Corporation, or if it is replaced with a comparable award of shares of the capital stock of the Successor Corporation, it shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, or the granting of the comparable award, as applicable. ACCELERATION If your employment with the Company is terminated as UPON QUALIFYING a result of a Qualifying Termination occurring TERMINATION within 24 months after a Change of Control (or if FOLLOWING CHANGE OF pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Employment CONTROL Agreement, such employment is deemed to have been terminated as a result of a Qualifying Termination occurring within 24 months after a Change of Control), upon the effectiveness of the Release executed by you, the portion of the Award that is then outstanding and unvested shall automatically fully vest and become immediately exercisable.
