(b) The Director will use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. The Company recognizes that the Director (i) is or may become a full-time executive employee of another entity and that his responsibilities to such entity must have priority and (ii) sits or may sit on the board of directors of other entities, subject to any limitations set forth by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and limitations provided by any exchange or quotation service on which the Company’s common stock is listed or traded. Notwithstanding the same, the Director will provide the Company with prior written notice of any future commitments to such entities and use reasonable business efforts to coordinate his respective commitments so as to fulfill his obligations to the Company and, in any event, will fulfill his legal obligations as a Director. Other than as set forth above, the Director will not, without the prior notification to the Board, engage in any other business activity which could materially interfere with the performance of his duties, services and responsibilities hereunder or which is in violation of the reasonable policies established from time to time by the Company, provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit his activities on behalf of (i) any current employer and its affiliates or (ii) the board of directors of any entities on which he currently sits.

1.3 Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the “Expiration Date” which shall be the earlier of the date on which Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, including death, resignation, removal, or failure to be elected by the stockholders of the Company, or the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof.

1. General.

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Restricted Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2. Grant of Restricted Shares.

2.1 Grant of Restricted Shares. In consideration of Participant’s employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant the Restricted Shares, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

2.2 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Restricted Shares by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

3. Vesting of Restricted Shares.

3.1 In General.

(a) Subject to Section 15(c) of Plan in the event of a Change of Control, the Restricted Shares shall vest at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(b) Subject to Section 15(c) of Plan in the event of a Change of Control, Restricted Shares that have not vested at the date that Participant’s ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason (“Termination of Services”) shall remain unvested, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and Participant.

3.2 Restrictions. Unless and until the Restricted Shares vest, Participant shall have no right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Shares in any manner. Any purported attempt to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Restricted Shares under this Agreement shall be void and shall result in the forfeiture and cancellation of such Restricted Shares. Upon Participant’s Termination of Services, any Restricted Shares that are unvested as of the date of such Termination of Service (and whose vesting is not accelerated pursuant to Section 15(c) of Plan in the event of a Change of Control) shall be forfeited, and Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Shares under this Agreement or otherwise.

3.3 Delivery of Shares. The Restricted Shares shall be registered in book entry in the name of Participant and shall not be transferred to Participant until the Restricted Shares have vested in accordance with this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares, the certificates representing the Restricted Shares may be stamped with a legend indicating the possibility of cancellation and the restrictions on transfer. Upon vesting of any of the Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares shall be transferred or delivered to Participant as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon such transfer or delivery to Participant, the vested Restricted Shares will not be subject to any restrictions other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Company’s policies.

3.4 Tax Withholding. The vesting of the Restricted Shares under this Agreement will result in Participant’s recognition of income for U.S. and federal tax purposes (and/or foreign tax purposes, if applicable) and shall be subject to tax and tax withholdings as appropriate. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Participant’s FICA or employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Shares. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, withhold, or allow Participant to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of any of the Restricted Shares (or allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental taxable income.

Participant agrees to consult with any tax advisors that Participant thinks necessary in connection with its receipt of the Restricted Shares and Participant acknowledges that it is not relying, and will not rely, on the Company or any of its affiliates for any tax advice.

3.5 Section 83(b) Election. If Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Shares rather than as of the date or dates upon which Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83 of the Code, Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

3.6 Rights as Stockholder. Upon issuance of the Restricted Shares and until the forfeiture or cancellation of the Restricted Shares, Participant shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, subject to the transferability and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Administrator may provide that any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Common Stock received by Participant in the form of Shares shall be subject to the same vesting and other restrictions as the Restricted Shares to which they relate.

4. Other Provisions.

4.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board, or any employee or officer of the Company, shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Restricted Shares.

4.2 Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Shares in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Shares contemplated by Section 15(a) of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Shares), the Administrator shall make such adjustments as the Administrator deems appropriate to the Restricted Shares in order to preserve the benefits intended to be made available to Participant under this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article 15 of the Plan.

By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.3, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. A notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

4.4 Titles and Headings. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

4.5 Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

4.6 Conformity to Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the Code, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and all other Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Restricted Shares are granted and shall be administered only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

4.7 Amendments, Suspension and Termination.

4.10 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
