(b) Certificates and Legend. Participant shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock; and such certificate shall be registered in the name of Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award, substantially in the following form:

(c) Voting Rights. Except as provided herein, Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any dividends thereon during the Restricted Period.
3. Repurchase Option
(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or Participant, as applicable, for any or no reason, including death or disability (a “Termination”) before all of the shares of Restricted Stock are released from the Company’s repurchase option (see Section 4 below), the Company shall, upon the date of a Termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company) have an irrevocable, exclusive option (the “Repurchase Option”) for a period of ninety (90) days from such date to repurchase all (but not less than all) of the shares of Restricted Stock that shall constitute the Unreleased Shares (defined herein as any of the shares of Restricted Stock that have not yet been released from the Repurchase Option) at such time, at the price paid by the Participant at the time of issuance (the “Repurchase Price”);
(b) The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to the Participant and, at the Company’s option, (i) by delivery to the Participant with such notice of a check in the amount of the purchase price for the shares of Restricted Stock being repurchased, (ii) by cancellation by the Company of an amount of the Participant’s indebtedness to the Company equal to the purchase price for the shares of Restricted Stock being repurchased, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals the aggregate Purchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the purchase price of any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the shares of Restricted Stock being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of shares of Restricted Stock being repurchased by the Company.

(c) Whenever the Company shall have the right to repurchase shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors, or shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company’s purchase rights under this Agreement and purchase all or a part of such shares of Restricted Stock. If the fair market value of the shares of Restricted Stock to be repurchased on the date of such designation or assignment (the “Repurchase FMV”) exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of such shares of Restricted Stock, then each such designee or assignee shall pay the Company cash equal the difference between the Repurchase FMV and the aggregate Repurchase Price of such shares of Restricted Stock.
4. Release of Shares From Repurchase Option
(a) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be released from Company’s Repurchase Option according to the schedule set forth in Section 1 above; provided in each case that the Participant has not ceased to be an employee of the Company prior to the date of any such release, but in which case the Participant shall get vesting credit for the number of days in the final month that the Employee is either an employee or director of or a consultant to the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 4(a) above, in the event, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, the Participant’s employment terminates other than (i) for Cause, (ii) voluntary termination by the Participant but such resignation is not a result of a “Constructive Termination”, or (iii) death or disability of the Participant, fifty percent (50%) of the Unreleased Shares shall be released from the Company’s Repurchase Option upon the date of such termination. For the purposes of this agreement, “Constructive Termination” shall mean Employee’s voluntary termination, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, following: (A) a material reduction or change in job duties, responsibilities and requirements inconsistent with Employee’s position with the Company and Employee’s prior duties, responsibilities and requirements; (B) any reduction of Employee’s base compensation (other than in connection with a general decrease in base salaries for most employees of the successor corporation); or (C) Employee’s refusal to relocate to a facility or location more than 75 miles from the Company’s current location.
For the purposes of the foregoing, a “Change of Control” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9(b) of the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) a material act of dishonesty in connection with the Participant’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company; (ii) the Participant’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) the Participant’s gross misconduct which has a material adverse effect on the Company, or (iv) the Participant’s consistent and willful failure to perform his or her employment duties where such failure is not cured within 30 days after written notice to Participant by the Company.
