2.     Vesting and Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the RSUs shall vest [__________] (each, a “Vesting Date”)[; provided, however, in the event of the death or Disability of the Participant on or before the Vesting Date, the RSUs shall immediately vest in full]. Each vested RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, which, less the number of shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Paragraph 4 below, if any, will be issued to the Participant as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but no later than 90 days thereafter.

3.     Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall not be entitled, prior to the conversion of the RSUs into the right to receive shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such shares to the Participant, to any rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares of Common Stock, including the right to vote, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of the shares.

4.     Withholding of Taxes. The Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to deduct shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this Award Agreement from any payment made under this Award Agreement in satisfaction of the federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. Shares of Common Stock tendered as payment of required tax withholding shall be valued at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date such tax withholding obligation arises. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof, upon payment of the Award, that the Participant pay to the Company or an Affiliate, upon its demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company or the Affiliate for the purpose of satisfying any liability to withhold federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes. If the amount requested is not paid, the Company may refuse to issue or pay shares of Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof.

5.     Miscellaneous.

(a)       Compliance with Laws. If the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the listing upon any securities exchange or registration or qualification under any federal, state or local law or any foreign law of any shares to be issued pursuant to an Award is necessary or desirable, issuance of such shares shall not be made until such listing, registration or qualification shall have been completed.

Any inconsistency between this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

(c)       [No Right to Employment. The Participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any Affiliate as an employee or otherwise will not be enlarged or otherwise affected by the Plan or this Award Agreement.

(g)       Choice of Law. This Award Agreement and any dispute, disagreement, or issue of construction or interpretation arising hereunder whether relating to its execution, its validity, the obligations provided herein or performance shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Nevada without regard to choice of law considerations.
