Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

1.1 The Company hereby issues to the Grantee on the Grant Date an award consisting of, in the aggregate, [Total Number of Shares] Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 The Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to a separate account maintained for the Grantee on the books and records of the Company, and all amounts credited to the said account shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company.

2. Consideration. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is made in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Grantee to the Company.

3. Vesting.

3.1 Except as otherwise stated herein, provided that the Grantee remains as an employee of the Company through the applicable vesting date, the right to receive Common Stock based on the Restricted Stock Units will vest in accordance with the schedule set forth below. The period during which a Restricted Stock Unit is not vested is the “Restricted Period.”

3.2 The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding and subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 3.2, if the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason at any time before all of Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have vested, the Grantee’s unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Agreement.

(a) During any authorized leave of absence, the running of Restricted Periods that have not lapsed within 90 days following the first day of the leave of absence shall be suspended after the leave of absence exceeds a period of 90 days. Restricted Periods that are suspended due to a leave of absence shall resume upon the Grantee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service, and the end date of the Restricted Periods shall be extended by the length of the suspension.

(b) In the event the Grantee’s employment with the Company terminates due to death or disability, Restricted Periods that have not previously lapsed will accelerate and lapse immediately prior to such termination of service. The term “disability” shall mean Grantee’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

(c) In the event there is a Change in Control (as defined in Section 7.2 of the Plan), Restricted Periods that have not previously lapsed will accelerate and lapse immediately prior to the Change in Control event.

4. Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, during the Restricted Period and until the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section 6, below, Restricted Stock Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Restricted Stock Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all the Grantee’s rights to such units shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company.

5. Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents.

5.1 The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units vest and are settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock.

5.2 Upon and following the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting rights).

5.3 Until the Restricted Stock Units vest, there shall be credited to an account for the Grantee an amount equal to all cash and stock dividends (“Dividend Equivalents”) that would have been paid to the Grantee if one share of Common Stock had been issued on the Grant Date for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to the Grantee as set forth in this Agreement. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid on the same date that the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Dividend Equivalents credited to the Grantee shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Board, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the vesting date equal to the amount of the Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any.

6. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Section 9 hereof, promptly following the vesting date, and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock that have vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to such vested units and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Board, shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such Dividend Equivalents and the interest thereon.

7. No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement shall not be construed under any circumstance to confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an employee or consultant of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, with or without cause.

8. Adjustments. If any change is made to the outstanding Common Stock or the capital structure of the Company, if required, the Restricted Stock Units shall be adjusted or terminated in the manner contemplated by the Plan.

9. Tax Liability and Withholding.

9.1 The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock Units and to take all such other action as the Company deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Company may, at its discretion, permit the Grantee to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:

(a) tendering a cash payment;

(b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or

(c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

9.2 Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any shares; and (b) does not commit to structure the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

10. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock may be listed.

16. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only through a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

17. Section 409A.
