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:
-1-
The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are
subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the TMSF REIT, Inc. 2006 Stock
Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan and a Restricted Stock Award Agreement
entered into between the registered owner and TMSF REIT, Inc. Copies of such Plan and
Agreement are on file in the offices of TMSF REIT, Inc.
The stock certificates evidencing such shares shall be held in the custody of the Company

the Stock covered by such Award, a form of which is attached here to as Exhibit A.
(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.
-2-
(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.
