1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Pursuant to the Plan and subject to the terms of
this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee Restricted Stock equal
to the number of Covered Shares set forth in the above Grant Notice.
2. TERMS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK.
(a) VESTING SCHEDULE. Your right to the Covered Shares granted under this
Restricted Stock Agreement vests as to the total number of Covered Shares on the
six month anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided you then continue in
Service. You cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this
grant.
(b) ACCELERATED VESTING UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon a Change of Control,
all of your Covered Shares which have not yet vested shall fully vest.
(c) FORFEITURE. Covered Shares which have not yet otherwise vested pursuant
to either Sections 2(a) or 2(b) shall be forfeited upon your termination of
Service.
(d) ESCROW.
(i) The certificates for the Restricted Stock shall be deposited in
escrow with the Secretary of the Company to be held in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph. The deposited certificates shall remain in
escrow until such time or times as the certificates are to be released or
otherwise surrendered for cancellation as discussed below. Upon delivery of
the certificates to the Company, you shall be issued an instrument of
deposit acknowledging the number of shares of Restricted Stock delivered in
escrow to the Secretary of the Company.
(ii) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or other change affecting the Company's outstanding common
stock as a class effected without receipt of consideration or in the event
of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company's
outstanding common stock, any new, substituted or additional securities or
other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed with
respect to the Company's outstanding common stock shall be immediately
delivered to the Secretary of the Company to be held in escrow hereunder,
but only to the extent the Restricted Stock is at the time subject to the
escrow requirements hereof.
(iii) As your interest in the Restricted Stock vests as described in
Sections 2(a) or 2(b), the certificates for such vested shares shall be
released from escrow and delivered to you, at your request, within 30 days
of such vesting or immediately upon your termination of employment with the
Company.
(e) NO TRANSFERS DURING RESTRICTION PERIOD. During the entire period in
which the Covered Shares have not otherwise vested pursuant to either Sections
2(a) or 2(b), (the "Restriction Period"), you may not sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Stock issued or transferred
pursuant to this Agreement or suffer any involuntary assignment or transfer of
such shares whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted
Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
(f) EFFECT OF PROHIBITED TRANSFER. The Company shall not be required
(i) to transfer on its books any of the shares of Stock which shall have been
sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this
Agreement, or (ii) to treat as the owner of such shares of Stock or to pay
dividends to any transferee to whom any such shares shall have been so sold or
transferred.
(g) CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE. If, during
the Restriction Period, the Grantee's employment or Service with the Company is
terminated, either by act of the Grantee or otherwise, the Grantee, by accepting
this Agreement and the issuance or transfer of the shares of Stock under this
Agreement, agrees to assign,transfer, and deliver the certificates evidencing
ownership of the shares of Stock to the Company and further agrees that all
interest of the Grantee in the shares of Stock of the Company shall terminate
and that the Grantee shall cease to be a stockholder of the Company with respect
to such shares; provided, that the Board may provide for a partial or complete
exception to this requirement as it deems equitable. The Board's determination
as to whether to apply the exception permitted under the preceding sentence
shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company shall incur no liability to
the Grantee under this Agreement by terminating the Grantee's status as an
employee, consultant, or non-employee director, whether by action with respect
to the Grantee individually, either with or without cause, or by dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or merger or consolidation of the Company with a
corporation in which the Company is not the surviving company.
If the Grantee attempts to breach the restriction on transfer during
the Restriction Period contained in this Section 2, or suffers any attempted
involuntary transfer of the shares of Stock issued or transferred pursuant to
this Agreement, any such attempt shall be ineffective and the Grantee agrees, by
accepting this Agreement and the shares of Stock issued or transferred under
this Agreement, that the Company shall not be required to transfer the shares of
Stock and may impound the certificates for the shares of Stock and hold such
certificates until the expiration of the Restriction Period.
(h) LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS. If, on the expiration of the Restriction
Period,the Grantee's employment or Service to the Company is continuing, all
restrictions shall terminate, and the Grantee shall be entitled to receive new
certificates not containing the legend described in Section 5; provided that if
shares of Stock have been impounded under Section 2(g) above, (i) the Company
shall have no obligation other than to deliver certificates not containing the
legend prescribed in Section 5 registered in the name of the Grantee, and (ii)
the Company shall be entitled to withhold delivery of any certificates for
shares of Stock if, and for so long as, in the judgment of the Company's
counsel, the Company would incur a risk of liability to any party to whom the
Grantee purported to assign the shares of Stock or to whom shares of Stock were
purported to be assigned by operation of law in violation of Section 2(g).
3. WITHHOLDING TAXES. You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will
make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be
due as a result of the vesting of Covered Shares. In the event that the Company
determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment
is required relating to the vesting of the Covered Shares, the Company shall
have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from
other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate.
2
4. SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. Under Code Section 83, you will recognize ordinary
income equal to the fair market value of the Shares received from the Restricted
Stock on the date that the Covered Shares (or any portion thereof) vest.
However, you may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is granted,
rather than when the Restricted Stock becomes vested and ceases to be Restricted
Stock. To elect this early taxation, you would need to file an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after
the Date of Grant. In addition, you would have to make a payment to the Company
to cover the withholding on the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on the
Date of Grant. The form for making this election is attached as EXHIBIT A
hereto.
YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS
TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. IF YOU DETERMINE THAT THE
ELECTION IS ADVISABLE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND
NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b). THIS IS SO
EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON
YOUR BEHALF.
5. LEGENDS. All certificates representing the Restricted Stock issued in
connection with this grant shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the
following legend:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
REGISTERED HOLDER. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE
OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST BY THE SECRETARY OF
THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE."
In addition, certificates representing Restricted Stock that has not been
registered under the Securities Act shall have endorsed thereon the following
legend:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE COMPANY WILL NOT
TRANSFER SUCH SHARES EXCEPT UPON RECEIPT OF EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF SUCH ACT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH OR THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND THAT SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
6. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. The Grantee has the right to vote the Restricted Stock
and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions
Grantee receives as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of
shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the
Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions, restrictions, and escrow
arrangements applicable thereto. The Company may, in its sole discretion,
require any dividends paid on the Restricted Stock to be reinvested in shares of
the Company's common stock, which the Company may in its sole discretion deem to
be a part of the shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions,
restrictions and escrow arrangements applicable thereto. Otherwise, all regular
cash dividends paid on the Restricted Stock (or other securities at the time
held in escrow) shall be paid directly to you and shall not be held in escrow.
No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record
date occurs before your stock certificate is issued.
7. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a stock split, a reverse stock split, a stock
dividend or a similar change in the Company's common stock, the number of shares
of Restricted Stock shall be adjusted (and may be rounded down to the nearest
whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Stock shall be subject to
the terms of an agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event
the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company is not a Public Company
at the time the Grantee desires to dispose of all or any portion of the shares
of Restricted Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantee shall
notify the Company of such desire and shall offer to sell such shares to the
Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan.
9. EMPLOYMENT. Neither the granting of the Restricted Stock evidenced by this
Agreement nor any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute or be
evidence of any understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Company or
any of its Affiliates to employ the Grantee for any period. Whenever reference
is made in this Agreement to the employment of the Grantee, it means employment
by the Company or a Affiliate.

personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, the
information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other
appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and
