The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan an<br \/>\naward of Shares for $0.001 per Share, commencing on the Date of Award, subject<br \/>\nto all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. By accepting<br \/>\nthis award of Restricted Stock, the par value purchase price for each Share of<br \/>\nRestricted Stock (a) will be deemed paid by the Employee by past services<br \/>\nrendered by the Employee, if the Employee is an existing employee of the Company<br \/>\nor one of its Subsidiaries or (b) shall be paid to the Company by cash or check<br \/>\nby the Employee, if the Employee is a newly-hired employee of the Company or one<br \/>\nof its Subsidiaries. Only whole shares shall be issued.<\/p>\n<p>2. <u>Shares Held in Escrow<\/u>. Unless and until the Shares will have vested<br \/>\nin the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, such Shares will be issued in<br \/>\nthe name of the Employee and held by the Shareholder Services Department of the<br \/>\nCompany (or its designee) as escrow agent (the &#8220;Escrow Agent&#8221;), and will not be<br \/>\nsold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and will not be pledged or otherwise<br \/>\nhypothecated. The Company may determine to issue the Shares in book entry form<br \/>\nand\/or may instruct the transfer agent for its Shares to place a legend on the<br \/>\ncertificates representing the Restricted Stock or otherwise note its records as<br \/>\nto the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The<br \/>\ncertificate or certificates representing such Shares will not be delivered by<br \/>\nthe Escrow Agent to the Employee unless and until the Shares have vested and all<br \/>\nother terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>3. <u>Vesting Schedule\/Period of Restriction<\/u>. Except as provided in<br \/>\nparagraph 4, and subject to paragraph 5, the Shares awarded by this Agreement<br \/>\nshall vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth on the first page<br \/>\nof this Agreement. Shares shall not vest in the Employee in accordance with any<br \/>\nof the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee remains a Service<br \/>\nProvider through the date(s) vesting otherwise is scheduled to occur.<\/p>\n<p>4. <u>Committee Discretion<\/u>. The Committee, in its discretion, may<br \/>\naccelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of<br \/>\nthe unvested Shares at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so<br \/>\naccelerated, such Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date<br \/>\nspecified by the Committee.<\/p>\n<p>5. <u>Forfeiture<\/u>. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this<br \/>\nAgreement, the balance of the Shares that have not vested at the time of<br \/>\nEmployee ceases to be a Service Provider will be forfeited and automatically<br \/>\ntransferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company upon the<br \/>\ndate the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider. The Employee shall not be<br \/>\nentitled to a refund of the price paid for the Shares returned to the Company<br \/>\npursuant to this paragraph 5. The Employee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with<br \/>\nfull power of substitution, as the Employee153s true and lawful attorney-in-fact<br \/>\nwith irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of the Employee<br \/>\nto take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including, without<br \/>\nlimitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or<br \/>\ncertificates evidencing such forfeited Shares to the Company.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>6. <u>Withholding of Taxes<\/u>. The Company (or the employing Affiliate) will<br \/>\nwithhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient<br \/>\nto pay all Tax Obligations required to be withheld by the Company or the<br \/>\nemploying Affiliate with respect to the Shares, unless the Committee, in its<br \/>\nsole discretion, requires or permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements<br \/>\nsatisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of<br \/>\nany withholding obligations. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant<br \/>\nto such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit the Employee<br \/>\nto satisfy his or her Tax Obligations, in whole or in part by one or more of the<br \/>\nfollowing (without limitation): (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the<br \/>\nCompany withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal<br \/>\nto the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (c) selling a<br \/>\nsufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Employee through such<br \/>\nmeans as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a<br \/>\nbroker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld.<br \/>\nNotwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Restricted Stock<br \/>\nwill be granted unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the<br \/>\nCompany) will have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any<br \/>\nincome and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or<br \/>\ncollected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent<br \/>\npermitted by law, the Company (or the employing Affiliate) has the right to<br \/>\nretain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash<br \/>\nhaving a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the<br \/>\nCompany determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise<br \/>\ndeliverable Shares. All Tax Obligations related to the Restricted Stock award<br \/>\nand any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the<br \/>\nEmployee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the<br \/>\nwithholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in<br \/>\nthis paragraph 6. Only whole Shares will be withheld or sold to satisfy any tax<br \/>\nwithholding obligations pursuant to this paragraph 6. The number of Shares<br \/>\nwithheld will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with a cash refund to<br \/>\nthe Employee for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax<br \/>\nobligation (pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to<br \/>\ntime). To the extent that the cash refund described in the preceding sentence is<br \/>\nnot administratively feasible, as determined by the Company in its sole<br \/>\ndiscretion, the number of Shares withheld will be rounded down to the nearest<br \/>\nwhole Share and, in accordance with this paragraph 6 and to the maximum extent<br \/>\npermitted by law, the Company will retain from salary or other amounts payable<br \/>\nto the Employee cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any additional tax<br \/>\nwithholding.<\/p>\n<p>7. <u>Rights as Stockholder<\/u>. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming<br \/>\nunder or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a<br \/>\nstockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless<br \/>\nand until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded<br \/>\non the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and<br \/>\ndelivered to the Employee or the Escrow Agent. Except as provided in paragraph<br \/>\n9, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the<br \/>\nrights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares.<\/p>\n<p>8. <u>No Effect on Employment<\/u>. Subject to any employment contract with<br \/>\nthe Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time<br \/>\nby the Company, or the Affiliate employing the Employee, as the case may be, and<br \/>\nthe Company, or the Affiliate employing the Employee, as the case may be, will<br \/>\nhave the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the<br \/>\nterms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever,<br \/>\nwith<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>or without good cause.

If the<br \/>\nEmployee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Shares, such<br \/>\nrights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Employee, provided that until<br \/>\nsuch exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or<br \/>\nother securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be<br \/>\nconsidered to be unvested Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the<br \/>\nconditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant<br \/>\nto the Plan and this Agreement.
