In the event the Plan Administrator elects not to hold the shares in electronic form, the Grantee hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company, or any other person designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to assign and transfer unto the Company such Restricted Stock, if any, forfeited by the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 below and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the Restricted Stock, together with the stock assignment provided by the Company duly endorsed in blank.

2. Restrictions and Restricted Period.
a. Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall be subject to a risk of forfeiture as described in Section 5 below until the lapse of the Restricted Period (as defined below).
b. Restricted Period. Subject to Section 3 and Section 5 of this Agreement, 100% of the Restricted Stock shall be released from the restrictions described in Section 2.a (the “Restrictions”) and shall become non-forfeitable upon the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months from the Date of Grant or (ii) the day immediately preceding the first meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after the Date of Grant. The period during which the Restrictions are applicable to a share of Restricted Stock is referred to herein as the “Restricted Period” with respect to such Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the release of the shares of Restricted Stock hereunder shall be conditioned upon Grantee’s making adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the release of the shares from the Restrictions (or at the time a Section 83(b) election is made), whether by withholding of shares of Common Stock, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.
3. Change in Control. Should a Change in Control occur during Grantee’s period of Board service, the Restricted Stock shall be released from the Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i) any “person”, as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company; any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company; Xxx Xxxxxxx, his affiliates, spouse, widow, lineal descendants and heirs, devisees and donees, and trusts created by Xxx Xxxxxxx for the benefit of such persons; or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by all the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company’s common stock (each such person, and “Excluded Person”) is or becomes after the Date of Grant the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company) representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Date of Grant), individuals who at the beginning of such period
2
constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of this subsection (a)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or
(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at least 75% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than an Excluded Person) acquires more than 25% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control; or
(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;
provided, however, that no event shall be deemed to be a Change in Control if, immediately following such event, Xxx Xxxxxxx, his affiliates, spouse, widow, lineal descendants and heirs, devisees and donees, and trusts created by Xxx Xxxxxxx for the benefit of such persons shall together be the beneficial owners of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company or any successor.
4. Rights of a Stockholder. From and after the Date of Grant and for so long as the Restricted Stock is held by or for the benefit of the Grantee, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock, including, but not limited to, the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such shares. If there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in character or amount of the Restricted Stock, then in such event, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which Grantee is entitled by reason of the Restricted Stock shall be immediately subject to the Restrictions with the same force and effect as the Restricted Stock subject to such Restrictions immediately before such event. If there is any cash dividend declared on the Restricted Stock, such cash dividend shall be immediately subject to the Restrictions with the same force and effect as the Restricted Stock subject to such Restrictions and shall be held by the Company on behalf of the Grantee until the Restrictions lapse.

5. Cessation of Service; Termination of Agreement. If the Grantee should cease to serve as a member of the Board for any reason, then this Agreement shall terminate and all rights of the Grantee hereunder shall cease. The Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to the Restrictions and any and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon shall be forfeited to the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives shall thereafter have any further rights or interests in such shares of Restricted Stock or accrued but unpaid dividends.
6. Certificates. Restricted Stock granted herein may be evidenced in such manner as the Board shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Grantee, then the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificates.

The obligations of the Company under the Plan are conditioned on your making arrangements for the payment of any such taxes.

IF THE GRANTEE CHOOSES TO FILE AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF THE GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE GRANTEE’S BEHALF.
BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE GRANTEE REPRESENTS THAT HE HAS REVIEWED WITH HIS OWN TAX ADVISORS THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE IS RELYING SOLELY ON SUCH ADVISORS AND NOT ON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS.
