The provisions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. Capitalized terms not elsewhere defined have the meanings as defined in the Plan.

(c) Withholding Taxes. In the event that the Company determines that it is required to withhold any tax as a result of the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant, as a condition to the receipt of such Shares, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements.

(d) Vesting Conditions. The Shares shall vest in full subject to, and on date of the last to occur of, satisfaction of both of the vesting conditions described below:

If the Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of removal or resignation as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, any unvested Restricted Shares shall automatically be forfeited, deemed cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares as of the date of such event and shall again be available for awards under the Plan.

(ii) The Participant shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any unvested Shares, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or by gift, bequest or otherwise, without the written consent of the Company.
