For purposes of
this Agreement, the term “vest” shall mean, with
respect to any Shares, that such Shares are no longer subject to
forfeiture to the Company pursuant to Section 3
below. Shares that have not vested are deemed
“Restricted Shares.” If the Participant
would become vested in a fraction of a Share, such Share shall not
vest until the Participant becomes vested in the entire
Share.
3.
Termination of Service; Forfeiture of Shares
. Vesting shall cease upon the date of termination of
the Participant’s Service for any reason, including death or
Disability. Any unvested Restricted Shares held by the
Participant at the time of such termination of Service shall
immediately be forfeited and deemed reconveyed to the Company, and
the Company shall thereafter be the legal and beneficial owner of
the Restricted Shares and shall have all rights and interest in or
related thereto without further action by the
Participant.
4.
Escrow of Stock; Rights as Stockholder .
(a) At
the sole discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of
this Section 4, the Shares may be issued in either (i) certificated
form, or (ii) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the
name of the Participant in the books and records of the
Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations to the
extent that the Shares remain subject to the restrictions set forth
in this Agreement.
(b) For
purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of this
Agreement, the Participant agrees, immediately upon receipt of any
certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares, to deliver such
certificate(s), together with an assignment separate from
certificate, executed in blank by the Participant and the
Participant’s spouse (if required for transfer) with respect
to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for
so long as such Restricted Shares have not vested pursuant to the
vesting schedule set forth in Section 2, with the authority to take
all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or
releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
objectives of this Agreement in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(c) The
Participant hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee)
as escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a
material inducement to the Company to make this Agreement and that
such appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly
irrevocable. The Participant agrees that if the
Restricted Shares are held electronically in a book entry system
maintained by the Company’s transfer agent or other third
party, the terms and conditions of this Section 4 applicable to
certificated Restricted Shares will apply with the same force and
effect to such electronic method for holding the Restricted
Shares. The Participant agrees that such escrow holder
shall not be liable to any party hereto (or to any other party) for
any actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly
negligent relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely
upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature
purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Upon
the vesting of all Restricted Shares, the escrow holder will,
without further order or instruction, transmit to the Participant
the certificate evidencing such Shares, subject, however, to
satisfaction of any withholding obligations provided in the Plan or
this Agreement.
(d) Certificates
representing Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, until
all restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement
lapse or shall have been removed and new certificates are issued,
bear the following legend (or such other similar or additional
legends as shall be determined by the Committee):
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
VESTING REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THE

AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED,
TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.”
(e) Except
as otherwise provided herein and subject to the restrictions
contained herein, the Participant shall have all the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote
the Shares and the right to receive any cash or stock dividends
paid to or made with respect to the Shares.

event of a Transaction (as defined in the Plan), there will not be
any acceleration of vesting or release of restrictions with respect
to the Restricted Shares unless otherwise determined by the
Committee. The provisions of the Plan applicable to a
Transaction or a Change of Control (each as defined in the Plan)
shall apply to the Shares, and, in the event of a Transaction or
Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems
appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
