Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers

or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit the transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares which are forfeited. Restricted Shares shall not constitute issued and outstanding common stock for any corporate purposes and the Holder shall have no rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of unrestricted Shares until such Restricted Shares become Vested Shares, at which time, with respect to Vested Shares, the Holder shall have all rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of unrestricted Shares, including with respect to those Vested Shares which continue to be held by the Company during the Retention Period.

Without limitation, the Company’s right to hold the 60% of retained Vested Shares during the Retention Period shall survive the Termination Date.

All Award Share Distributions with respect to Vested Shares shall be immediately paid to Holder, except that where such Award Share Distribution is in the form of Shares, such Shares shall be retained until the end of the Retention Period.

As a condition of the grant of Restricted Shares, and the issuance of Vested Shares, the Board may obtain such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Board may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:

(b)           a representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any legends that are, in the opinion of the Board, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed by the Board to be applicable to the issuance of the Vested Shares and are endorsed upon the Share certificates.

7.             Transferability of Restricted Shares. The Vested Shares held by the Company during the Retention Period, and this Award, shall not be transferable by Holder.

8.             Section 83(b) Election. Holder, having been granted Restricted Shares subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in his gross income the fair market value (determined without regard to the Restrictions) of such Restricted Shares as of the Date of Grant. If Holder makes the Section 83(b) election, Holder shall (i) make such election in a manner that is satisfactory to the Company, (ii) provide the Company with a copy of such election, (iii) agree to promptly notify the Company if any Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or otherwise, questions the validity or correctness of such election or of the amount of income reportable on account of such election, and (iv) agree to such federal and state income withholding as the Company may reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion.

9.             Termination of the Award. Without limitation, this Award shall automatically terminate and expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Restricted Shares have become Vested Shares, or (ii) the date of Holder’s Separation, and upon the date of such termination of the Award all Restricted Shares which have not Vested on or prior to such date will be permanently forfeited.

12.          Binding Effect. This Award shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

13.          Amendments. This Award may only be amended by a written document signed by the Company and Holder.

14.          Severability. If any provision of this Award is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, in whole or in part, the remainder of this Award will not be affected by such declaration or finding and each such provision not so affected will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.          Counterparts. This Award may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused these presents to be executed on its behalf and its corporate seal to be affixed hereto by its duly authorized representative, and Holder has hereunto set his or her hand, all on the day and year first above written.
