Whereas, the Grantee, as an Eligible Person, has been selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) to receive a grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan;
Now, therefore, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. General. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock granted hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Grantee shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or any stock which may be issued to Grantee hereunder and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without further definition shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
Section 2. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby awards to the Grantee, as of the Grant Date, __________ shares of Restricted Stock corresponding to shares of the Company common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”).
Section 3. Vesting. The Restricted Stock awards granted by the Company hereunder shall vest in two installments. The first two-thirds of the Restricted Stock award shall vest on [ ], 2014. The remaining third of the Restricted Stock award shall vest on [ ], 2015. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement of the Plan, the Restricted Shares shall vest immediately only upon your death or disability or a change in control of the Company as defined in 26 CFR 1.280G-1, Q&A-27 through Q&A-29 or in 26 CFR 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i). If your employment is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to the vesting date of all of your Restricted Stock, your unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited in accordance with the Plan.
Section 4. Withholding Taxes. Based on current tax laws, you will not be taxed on your Restricted Stock until they vest. At the time of vesting, the Company will treat the Market Value of the vested Restricted Stock as compensation taxable to you as ordinary income, unless you have an 83(b) election, as described below. The Market Value will be based on the average of the highest and lowest selling prices of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date.
Grantee acknowledges and accepts that award of Restricted Stock grants hereunder may result in application of the Alternate Minimum Tax and that estate and/or other taxes may apply with respect to the award of Restricted Stock grants hereunder in the event of Grantee’s death. Grantee understands he or she should seek tax advice regarding this award and any shares issuable hereunder.
You may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) to include in your gross income in the year of this Award the amount specified in Section 83(b) of the Code. If you make such an election, you must notify the Company in writing within 10 days after filing the notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code.
You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility and not the Company’s to timely file the election under Section 83(b) of the Code, even if you request the Company or its representatives to make this filing on your behalf.
Before any Restricted Stock may be issued, you must satisfy your obligation for federal, state and local tax withholding on the Restricted Stock (the Restricted Withholding). You hereby irrevocably elect to satisfy this obligation by allowing the Company to withhold an amount of Restricted Stock from this award having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The value of the Restricted Stock to be withheld shall be based on the Market Value of the Shares on the date the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. If you make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, you must remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all Restricted Withholding at the time of your election. Your failure to timely submit the Restricted Withholding may result in forfeiture of your Restricted Stock.
Subject to your obligation to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy all Restricted Withholding if you make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, you hereby acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for determining your tax obligations as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5. Issuance of Shares. The Restricted Stock shall be held in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such time as the Restricted Stock vest or are forfeited. Upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue shares of stock net of applicable taxes to Grantee. The net number of shares will be deposited into a dividend reinvestment plan in the name of the Grantee, held by the Company’s transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer.
Section 6. Rights While Shares Are Restricted. While your Restricted Stock remains unvested, you will not be entitled to any dividends paid on the Restricted Stock or to any voting rights.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, the shares of stock shall not become transferable (as defined in 26 CFR 1.83-3(d)) at any time earlier than permitted under the following schedule (except as necessary to reflect a merger or acquisition of the Company):
