by the Company, you agree to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any
subsidiary thereof for a period of at least one (1) year from the Grant Date. Nothing in
the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon you any right to continue as a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company or
Page 2
any subsidiary thereof or shall interfere with or
restrict the right of the
Company or its stockholders (or of a subsidiary or its stockholders, as the case may
be) to terminate your service as a director any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without cause.
3. Restrictions on the Stock. All shares of Stock received by you pursuant to this
Agreement (including any shares received with respect to shares of Stock as a result of stock
dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall be subject to the following

than your death or total disability, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase
from you any or all of the shares of Stock which are, at the date of such termination of
service, still subject to the vesting restrictions set forth in the Plan and Section 3(d) at
the per share purchase price paid by you for such Stock.
(c) If your service as a director of the Company is terminated because of death or
total disability, all restrictions imposed upon the Stock shall lapse and be removed (and
the Stock shall become fully vested) upon such termination of service.
