follows: fifty percent (50%) will vest on the second anniversary of the Date of
Grant and twenty-five percent (25%) will vest on each of the third and fourth
anniversaries of the Date of Grant; provided in each case that on such date the
Participant is employed by the Company or rendering consulting services to the
Company pursuant to Section 7.7 of the employment agreement between the Company
and the Participant dated July 31, 2006 ( the "Employment Agreement").
4. Resignation. In the event the Participant resigns his employment
with the Company prior to the vesting of all shares of Restricted Stock
hereunder, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be cancelled
immediately without consideration as of the date of such termination.
5. Death; Incapacity or Termination by the Company. If, prior to the
vesting of all shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Participant's
employment with the Company (i) terminates due to the participant's death or
Incapacity (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Employment Agreement) or (ii) is

to cancellation pursuant to Section 4 or the transfer restrictions set forth in
Section 7 of this Award Agreement.
6. Change in Control. Immediately prior to a Change in Control (as

(that have not yet vested pursuant to Sections 3 or 5 hereof) shall vest
immediately and shall no longer be subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 4
or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7 of this Award Agreement.
7. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Restricted Stock may not be transferred,
pledged, alienated, assigned or otherwise attorned other than by last will and
testament or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic
relations order, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Committee may,
subject to such terms and conditions as it shall specify, permit the transfer of
Restricted Stock for no consideration to a Permitted Transferee. Any shares of
Restricted Stock transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall be further
transferable only by last will and testament or the laws of descent and
distribution or, for no consideration, to another Permitted Transferee of the
Participant.
8. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have, with respect
to the Restricted Stock, all the rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, if applicable, the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive
any dividends or other distributions, subject to the restrictions set forth in
the Plan and this Award Agreement.
9. Dividends and Distributions. Any cash, Common Stock or other
securities of the Company or other consideration received by the Participant as
a result of a distribution to holders of Restricted Stock or as a dividend on
the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted
Stock, and all references to Restricted Stock hereunder shall be deemed to
include such cash, Common Stock or other securities or consideration.
10. Legend on Certificates. The Committee may cause a legend or
legends to be put on certificates representing the Common Stock underlying the
Restricted Stock to make appropriate reference to such restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or as may be required by the rules,
regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any exchange that lists the Common Stock, and any applicable federal or state
laws.
11. Conditions to Delivery of Common Stock Certificates. The Company
shall not be required to deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement prior to fulfillment of all of the
following conditions:
(a) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state
or federal governmental agency which the Committee determines to be necessary or
advisable; and
(b) The lapse of such reasonable period of time as the Committee may
from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

12. Physical Custody. The Restricted Stock may be issued in
certificate form or electronically in "book entry". The Secretary of the Company
or such other representative as the Committee may appoint shall retain physical
custody of each certificate representing the Restricted Stock until all of the
restrictions imposed under this Award Agreement with respect to the shares
evidenced by such certificate expire or are removed. In no event shall the
Participant retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested
Restricted Stock assigned to Participant.
13. No Entitlements.
(a) No Right to Continued Employment. This award is not an employment
agreement, and nothing in this Award Agreement or the Plan shall (i) alter the
Participant's status as an "at-will" employee of the Company, (ii) be construed
as guaranteeing the Participant's employment by the Company or as giving the
Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company during any period
(including without limitation the period between the Date of Grant and the
applicable vesting date in accordance with Section 3) or (iii) be construed as
giving the Participant any right to be reemployed by the Company following any
termination of Employment.
(b) No Right to Future Awards. This award of Restricted Stock and all
other equity-based awards under the Plan are discretionary. This award does not
confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive another award of
Restricted Stock or any other equity-based award at any time in the future or in
respect of any future period.
(c) No Effect on Future Employment Compensation. The Company has made
this award of Restricted Stock to the Participant in its sole discretion. This
award does not confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive
compensation in any specific amount for any future fiscal year, and does not
diminish in any way the Company's discretion to determine the amount, if any, of
the Participant's compensation. In addition, this award of Restricted Stock is
not part of the Participant's base salary or wages and will not be taken into
account in determining any other employment-related rights the Participant may
have, such as rights to pension or severance pay.
14. Taxes and Withholding. No later than the date as of which an
amount with respect to the Restricted Stock first becomes includable in the
gross income of the Participant for applicable income tax purposes, the
Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, in accordance with rules and procedures established
by the Committee, the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled in
Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise
to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company to deliver the
certificates for shares of Common Stock under this Award Agreement shall be
conditional upon such payment or arrangements and the Company shall, to the
extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

15. Securities Laws. In connection with the grant or vesting of the
Restricted Stock the Participant will make or enter into such written
representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably
request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Award
Agreement.
16. Miscellaneous Provisions.

addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive
office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the

solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of the
provisions of this Award Agreement.
(c) Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(d) Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement, the Employment Agreement
and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede all other agreements,
representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express
or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.
(e) Amendments. The Board or the Committee shall have the power to
alter, amend, modify or terminate the Plan or this Award Agreement at any time;
provided, however, that no such termination, amendment or modification may
adversely affect, in any material respect, the Participant's rights under this
Award Agreement without the Participant's consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have broad authority to amend this Award Agreement
without the consent of the Participant to the extent it deems necessary or
desirable (i) to comply with or take into account changes in or interpretations
of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to ensure that the Restricted
Stock is not subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code,
(iii) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions,
or (iv) to take into account significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets

shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby
without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such
person. The Committee shall give written notice to the Participant of any such
amendment, modification or termination as promptly as practicable after the
adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the
Participant and the Company by mutual consent to alter or amend the terms of the
Restricted Stock in any manner that is consistent with the Plan and approved by
the Committee.

Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor
or successors of the Company, and to any Permitted Transferee pursuant to

Agreement and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its conflict of
law rules).
