     e.                   Except as otherwise required in any applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or by the terms of this Plan, recipients of Awards under the Plan shall not be required to make any payment or provide consideration for the issuance of the Award other than the rendering of services to the Company in accordance with the terms of their engagement agreement with the Company and shall not be required to pay any consideration for the issuance of Shares other than to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements.
