A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.
Grant . The Company hereby grants to the Participant named
in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the
Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice
of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this
Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Plan will prevail.
2.
Company’s Obligation to Pay . Each Restricted Stock
Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests
(or at such later time indicated in this Agreement). Unless and
until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set
forth in Sections 3,4 or Section 17 of the Plan,
Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted
Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock
Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured
obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the
general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest
in accordance with this Agreement will be paid to Participant (or
in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her properly
designated beneficiary or estate) in whole Shares, subject to
Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations
as set forth in Section 6. Subject to the provisions of
Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in
Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case
no later than the date that is two-and-one-half months from the end
of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting
date.
3.
Vesting Schedule . Except as provided in Sections 4 and 11
and Section 17 of the Plan, and subject to Section 5, the
Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in
accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of
Grant. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date
or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in
Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service
Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting
occurs.
4.
Administrator Discretion . The Administrator, in its
discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some
lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock
Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so
accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as
having vested as of the date specified by the
Administrator.
Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the
balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted
Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s
termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination
is a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to
death , and if (x) Participant is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time
of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment
of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the
imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to
Participant on or within the six (6) month period
following
-3-
Participant’s termination as a
Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted
Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and
one (1) day following the date of Participant’s
termination as a Service Provider, unless the Participant dies
following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which
case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the
Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or
her death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted
Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable
thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under
Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted
to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section
409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury
Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as
each may be amended from time to time.
5.
Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider
. Notwithstanding any contrary
