B. The Board is authorized to appoint a committee or individual to administer the Plan. If a committee or individual is appointed, all references in this Agreement to the “Board” shall be deemed to refer to the committee or individual.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an aggregate of ______ shares of common stock of the Company, which are subject to the restrictions described in Paragraph 2 below.

2. Restriction Period. The shares of Restricted Stock will vest as follows, if the Grantee is employed by, or providing service to, the Company (as defined in the Plan) on the applicable date: __________________. The period during which shares are not vested is the “Restriction Period” applicable to those shares.

3. Restrictions on Transfer; Stock Certificates. During the Restriction Period described in Paragraph 2, the Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Restricted Stock, except as described in the Plan. A stock certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Grantee’s name but shall be held in the custody of the Company for the Grantee’s account.

4. Voting and Dividend Rights. The Grantee shall have the right to vote the shares of Restricted Stock and shall receive dividends paid on the shares.

5. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. In the event the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, any unvested shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited.

9. No Employment or Other Rights.

The right of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

10. Assignment and Transfers. The rights and interests of the Grantee under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the grant or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the grant by notice to the Grantee, and the grant and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.

The Grantee agrees that the certificates representing any of the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws.
