  (2) intentionally and materially breached any provision of any written agreement with the Company, and has not cured such breach within fifteen (15) days after Employee’s receipt of written notice of the breach from the Company (provided that, the Company’s written notice is not required if Employee’s breach is not reasonably capable of cure);

(g) Target Award” means the number of shares of Stock that may be credited to the Participant if the Performance Golas are achieved at the target levels set by the Committee during the applicable Performance Period as set forth in the Grant Notice.

(h) Termination of Service” means the time when the service relationship (whether as an Employee or a consultant) between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without Cause, including, but not by way of limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death or Disability; but excluding (a) a termination where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment or consultancy of the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary or a parent corporation thereof (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), (b) at the discretion of the Committee, a termination which results in a temporary severance of the employee-employer relationship, and (c) at the discretion of the Committee, a termination which is followed by the simultaneous establishment of a consulting relationship by the Company or a Subsidiary with the former Employee. The Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Service for the purposes of this Agreement, including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether, for Participants who are Employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a Termination of Service resulted from a discharge for Cause, and all questions of whether particular leaves of absence for Participants who are Employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries constitute Terminations of Service. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Company or any Subsidiary has an absolute and unrestricted right to terminate the Participant’s employment and/or consultancy 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 and the Participant.

2. ENTITLEMENT TO SHARES. Provided that (i) the specified level of applicable Performance Goals is achieved during the Performance Period and (ii) you have not experienced a Termination of Service prior to the Certification Date, then, subject to the limitations contained herein and the provisions of the Plan, you shall be credited with an Actual Award on the Certification Date equal to all or a portion (including none) of the Target Award or the Maximum Award (in the event of performance exceeding that of the Target Award, as indicated herein), as determined by the Committee based on the degree of achievement of the Performance Goals; provided, however, that (x) if a specified level of Performance Goals is not achieved during the Performance Period, you will not be credited with or receive any shares of Stock as an Actual Award, and (y) the maximum number of shares of Stock for which you may be credited as an Actual Award will in no event exceed the Maximum Award.

4. DELIVERY OF SHARES. Provided that you become entitled to receive an Actual Award in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and deliver to you (or, in the case of death, to your beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement or your estate as beneficiary, in the absence of such a designation) the certificates representing the shares of Stock subject to an Actual Award (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, when issued, shall be registered in your name (or the name of your beneficiary, in the case of death) and, subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, will be delivered within thirty (30) days following the Certification Date. However, in the event that the Company determines that you are subject to its policy regarding insider trading of Stock and any shares are scheduled to be delivered to you on a day (the “Original Distribution Date”) that does not occur during an open “window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with such policy, then the Certificates covering such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered as soon as practicable within the next open “window period” applicable to you pursuant to such policy, but in no event later than the March 15 following the calendar year in which the Certification Date occurs. The form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

5. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of Stock subject to your Award will be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in Article 11 of the Plan.

6. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. The grant of your Award and the issuance of any shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. You may not be issued any shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award if the issuance of shares of Stock would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, you may not be issued any shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of issuance be in effect with respect to the shares of Stock or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares of Stock may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. YOU ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SHARES OF STOCK MAY NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of any shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

7. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares of Stock issued pursuant to an Actual Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

8. TRANSFERABILITY. Your Award is not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of shares of Stock pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

9. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or of the Company or any

 

4


Subsidiary to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Subsidiary, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or consultant for the Company or any Subsidiary.

10. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award under this Award Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Stock acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement until such Stock is issued to you pursuant to this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. Regardless of any action taken by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any or all income, employment, social insurance, or payroll taxes, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and any Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of your Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Actual Award, or the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any other aspect of your Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. At the time any Actual Award is determined, at the time you receive a distribution of shares of Stock pursuant to such Actual Award, or at any other time reasonably as requested by the Company or any Subsidiary, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the the Company and/or any Subsidiary to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company or Subsidiary. In this regard, at the time you receive a distribution of shares of Stock pursuant to an Actual Award, or at any other time as reasonably requested by the Company or any Subsidiary, you hereby authorize the withholding of that number of whole shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to you pursuant to an Actual Award under this Award Agreement having a fair market value not in excess of the amount of the Tax-Related Items determined by the applicable minimum statutory rates. Finally, you shall pay to the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) any amount of the Tax-Related Items that the Company or any Subsidiary may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company and Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until you have satisfied the obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

12. NATURE OF AWARD. In accepting your Award, you acknowledge that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company; it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement;

(b) the grant of your Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

5
