Table of Contents

Section 145 permits a corporation to indemnify current and former directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by a third party if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, indemnification may be made only for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit and only with respect to a matter as to which they have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed, to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that the defendant officers or directors are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

Section 102(b)(7) provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision will not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or repurchasing or redeeming stock out of other than lawfully available funds, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision will eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

The Registrant maintains insurance against liabilities under the Securities Act for the benefit of its officers and directors.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

Provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Table of Contents
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

4.2 Adjustments .

The shares covered by such grant of Restricted Stock shall vest in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Grant Date or (ii) the day before the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the Grant Date. Vesting on any such date is subject to continued service as a Director (whether or not in the capacity of a Non-Employee Director) through such date.


(b) Interim Grants to New Non-Employee Directors . Following the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if a Non-Employee Director initially becomes a member of the Board during a calendar year but after the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders has been held for such year, the Non-Employee Director shall receive a grant of Restricted Stock, effective as of the date of such initial appointment to the Board, consisting of that number of shares that equals $75,000 divided by the Average Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Grant Date, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The shares covered by such grant of Restricted Stock shall vest in full on the first anniversary of the Grant Date. Vesting on such date is subject to continued service as a Director (whether or not in the capacity of a Non-Employee Director) through such date.

(c) Pro Rata Allocation . If, on any Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Restricted Stock shall be granted pursuant to this Section 6.1 exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to the Non-Employee Directors on such Grant Date shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

6.2 Nontransferability . The shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, conveyed, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, alienated or otherwise disposed of or transferred in any manner to the extent they remain unvested.

6.3 Termination of Service . Except as provided in Section 6.4 below which shall apply in the event of a termination of service upon a Change in Control, if a Director’s service on the Board terminates for any reason, all shares of Restricted Stock not vested at the time of such termination shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by such Director.

6.4 Change in Control . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock shall be deemed vested upon a Change in Control.

6.5 Stockholder Rights . Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, a Non-Employee Director who has been granted Restricted Stock shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors. With respect to any shares of Restricted Stock received as a result of adjustments under Section 4.2 hereof and also any shares of Common Stock that result from dividends declared on the Common Stock, the Non-Employee Director shall have the same rights and privileges, and be subject to the same restrictions, as apply generally to Restricted Stock under the Plan.

6.6 Award Agreement . Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an award agreement between the Non-Employee Director and the Company that contains the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock and the other terms and conditions applicable thereto.

6.7 Issuance of Restricted Stock/Stock Certificates . A grant of Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Company shall deem appropriate, including without limitation, book-entry registration or the issuance of a stock certificate (or certificates) representing the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the


Non-Employee Director, containing such legends as the Company deems appropriate and held in custody by the Company or on its behalf, in which case the grant of Restricted Stock shall be accompanied by appropriate stop-transfer instructions to the transfer agent for the Common Stock, until the restrictions lapse and the shares of Restricted Stock become vested. The Company may require the Director to deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Restricted Stock to be held in custody by or for the Company.

ARTICLE 7. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, that any such amendment, suspension or termination shall be subject to the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Company (a) to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3 thereunder, any New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements or any other law or regulation; or (b) to the extent the Board determines, in its discretion, that stockholder approval is desirable even if such stockholder approval is not expressly required by the Plan or applicable law or regulation. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on February 12, 2018 (a term of ten years from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board). No further Restricted Stock Awards may be granted after the termination of the Plan, but the Plan shall remain effective with respect to any then outstanding Restricted Stock Awards. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way the rights of a Non-Employee Director under any outstanding Restricted Stock Award without the Non-Employee Director’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is intended that this Plan and all Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Board may amend the Plan or the terms of any outstanding Restricted Stock Award in any respect it deems necessary or advisable to comply with any exchange listing requirement, applicable law, or regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations and guidance thereunder and/or to prevent this Plan and any such Restricted Stock Award from being subject to Section 409A of the Code, without obtaining the individual consent of any Non-Employee Director who holds an outstanding Restricted Stock Award.

ARTICLE 8. TAX MATTERS

8.1 Withholding . To the extent applicable, a Director that has received a Restricted Stock Award under this Plan shall pay or make provision for payment to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding requirements applicable to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Award. The determination of the withholding amounts due in such event shall be made by the Company and shall be binding upon the Director. The Company shall not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock unless the Director has made acceptable arrangements to satisfy any such withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall be construed to impose on the Company a duty to withhold where applicable law does not require such withholding.

8.2 Section 83(b) Election . If a Non-Employee Director makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Restricted Stock, the Non-Employee Director shall be required to promptly file a copy of such election with the Company as required under Section 83(b) of the Code.


ARTICLE 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Restrictions on Stock Ownership/Legends . The Board, in its discretion, may establish guidelines applicable to the ownership of any shares of Common Stock acquired under this Plan as it may deem desirable or advisable, including, but not limited to, time-based or other restrictions on transferability regardless of whether or not the Common Stock is otherwise vested. All stock certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable and the Board may cause any such certificates to have legends affixed thereto to make appropriate references to any applicable restrictions.

9.3 Unfunded Plan .

Neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall be required to segregate any specific funds, assets or other property with respect to any Restricted Stock Awards under this Plan. With respect to receipt of Common Stock, a Director (and any person claiming through him) shall have only the status of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

To the extent applicable, the Plan and Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with all provisions of, and satisfy the requirements for exemption under, Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule under the Exchange Act, unless determined otherwise by the Board.

9.5 Approvals and Listing . The Company shall not be required to grant any Restricted Stock Awards or issue any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any required approval from the stockholders of the Company; (b) obtaining any approval from any governmental agency which the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (c) the admission of such shares of Common Stock to listing on any national securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed; and (d) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Common Stock under any state or federal law or ruling or regulation of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. The Company may require that any Non-Employee Director granted a Restricted Stock Award hereunder make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as it deems appropriate to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated at any time to file or maintain a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to effect similar compliance under any applicable state laws with respect to the Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Plan.


9.6 Other Corporate Actions . Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit the authority of the Company to exercise its corporate rights and powers, including, but not by way of limitation, the right of the Company to adopt other compensation arrangements or the right of the Company to authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization, or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets.

9.7 Gender and Number . Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein shall also include the feminine, and the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

9.8 Severability . The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Plan shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and the Board may elect in its discretion to construe such invalid or unenforceable provision in a manner which conforms to applicable law or as if such provision was omitted.

9.9 Governing Law . To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all award agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina (excluding the principles of conflict of law thereof).

9.10 Successors .

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock . In consideration for the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board of Directors and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Non-Employee Director                      (                    ) shares of Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock”).

 

2. Vesting .

  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Restricted Stock Agreement pertains to a grant of Restricted Stock to the Non-Employee Director made in connection with his or her initial appointment to the Board of Directors but after the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders has been held for the calendar year in which such initial appointment occurs, then the Restricted Stock shall vest in full on the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

  (c) Except in the case of a termination of service upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), vesting is subject to continued service as a member of the Board of Directors through the applicable vesting date.

 

  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control in accordance with the terms of the Plan.


3. Termination of Service . Except in the case of a termination of service upon a Change in Control, if the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board of Directors terminates for any reason, all shares of Restricted Stock not vested at the time of such termination shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by the Non-Employee Director.

 

4. Restrictions on Transferability . The Non-Employee Director may not sell, assign, convey, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, alienate or otherwise dispose of or transfer the Restricted Stock in any manner to the extent it remains unvested. No assignment, pledge or other transfer of the Restricted Stock, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be effective, but immediately upon any such attempt to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer the Restricted Stock, the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited.

 

5. Forfeiture Procedures . In the event of any forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, such forfeiture shall be automatic and without further act or deed by the Non-Employee Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by the Company (or its agent), the Non-Employee Director shall execute such documents (including, without limitation, a power of attorney in favor of the Company) and take such other action deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to evidence such forfeiture.

 

6. Tax Matters (Withholding and 83(b) Elections) . To the extent applicable, the Non-Employee Director shall pay or make provision for payment to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding requirements applicable to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock.

The Company shall not be required to deliver or release any shares of Common Stock unless the Non-Employee Director has made acceptable arrangements to satisfy any such withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall be construed to impose on the Company a duty to withhold where applicable law does not require such withholding.

THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR’S OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING, THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR THAT MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESTRICTED STOCK, INCLUDING THE DECISION TO MAKE AND TIMELY FILE, AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF, ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR ALSO SHALL TIMELY DELIVER A COPY OF ANY SUCH SECTION 83(B) FILING TO THE COMPANY.

2


  the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to shareholders of the Common Stock; and (b) with respect to any shares of Common Stock that arise from dividends or adjustments under Section 9 with respect to the Restricted Stock, the Non-Employee Director shall have the same rights and privileges, and shall be subject to the same restrictions, that apply to the Restricted Stock under this Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan.

The Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or other relevant changes in the Company’s capital structure. The existence of the Restricted Stock shall not affect in any way the authority of the Company and its stockholders to exercise their corporate rights and powers, including, but not by way of limitation, the right of the Company to authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization, or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the issuance of securities with preference ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets.

 

10. Securities Laws . Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary or in the Plan, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any shares of Common Stock to the Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement unless and until the Company has determined that such issuance is either exempt from registration, or is registered, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is either exempt from registration and qualification, or is registered or qualified, as applicable, under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. Nothing in this Restricted Stock Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Company at any time to file or maintain a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to effect similar compliance under any applicable state laws with respect to the Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement. The Company may require that the Non-Employee Director make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Company deems appropriate to assure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
