Subsection (b) within three (3) years of the date hereof, INTELLIGENT shall immediately
forfeit such un-vested Restricted Stock Units and this Agreement, and the
parties’ rights hereunder, shall terminate. In the event of any

have any further rights or interest in the unvested Restricted Stock Units or
certificates therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by
the Company (or its agent), INTELLIGENT shall execute such documents (including,
without limitation, a power of attorney in favor of the Company) and take such
other action deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to evidence such

Units to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or
property.

otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock Units without the Company’s written
consent. If INTELLIGENT transfers any Restricted Stock

INTELLIGENT) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities
Act”) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give
INTELLIGENT notice of such registration. Upon the request
of INTELLIGENT given within twenty (20) days after such notice is
given by the Company, the Company shall cause to be registered all of the shares
of Common Stock that INTELLIGENT has requested to be included in such
registration.
SECTION 4. RIGHTS AS
A STOCKHOLDER.

Stock. The Company will pay to INTELLIGENT an amount of cash equal to
all dividends and other distributions (or the economic equivalent thereof) that
are payable by the Company on shares of Common Stock to stockholders of
record.

applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Prior to
the issuance of any shares pursuant hereto, the Company may require the
INTELLIGENT to enter into such written representations and agreements as the
Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities
laws or with this Agreement.

Prior to
each issuance of any shares pursuant hereto, the Company hereby undertakes to
provide notice to INTELLIGENT of any Company “blackout” policy or other trading
restriction imposed by the Company that may be in effect on the date of such
issuance. If INTELLIGENT elects to receive the shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2
above, the Company shall ensure that INTELLIGENT is not in receipt of material
non-public information that would in anyway restrict INTELLIGENT’s ability to
trade in the Company’s securities, acknowledging any restrictions on trading
that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement or under the Securities
Act. If INTELLIGENT is subject to any “blackout” policy or other
Company imposed trading restriction, such issuance of shares shall be instead
made on the earlier of (i) the date INTELLIGENT is not subject to any such
policy or restriction and (ii) the earlier of (A) the end of the calendar year
in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is
immediately prior to 2.5 months following the date such distribution would

relate to the subject matter hereof. Any amendment, modification or
waiver of the terms hereof shall be in writing and signed by both
parties. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and
this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had been omitted.
