A. The
Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to take action to promote the stability of its Board of Directors
and otherwise align the interests of the members of the Board of Directors
with
those of the Company; and
B. Accordingly
the Company has determined to issue restricted shares of stock in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of
the
Company (the “Plan”).
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Issuance
of Restricted Stock.
Pursuant
to the provisions of the Plan, and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and the terms and conditions herein, upon
execution of this Agreement (the “Grant Date”), the Company will issue to the
Director 5,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company
(the “Common
Stock”)
in
consideration of the Director’s services to the Company for the term ending at
the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders. All of such Common Stock issued to
the
Director hereby is referred to herein as “Restricted
Stock”.
The
Restricted Stock will also include equity interests of the Company issued with
respect to the Restricted Stock by way of an equity split, dividend of equity
or
other recapitalization. To secure the restrictions on the Restricted Stock,
the
Company will retain possession of the certificates representing the Restricted
Stock, together with executed stock powers in blank, and will provide the
Director with copies thereof.
2. Vesting
of Restricted Stock.
All
of
the Restricted Stock is non-vested and forfeitable as of the Grant Date. The
Restricted Stock granted hereunder will be deemed “vested” on earlier of (i) the
date of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company in 2007 or (ii)
December 31, 2007.
3. Forfeiture
of Restricted Stock.
If
the
Director’s service with the Company ceases for any reason, all Restricted Stock
that is not then vested and non-forfeitable will be immediately forfeited to
the
Company upon such cessation for no consideration.
4. Non-Transferability;
Legend.
Until
the
Restricted Stock becomes vested and non-forfeitable, it may not be assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment
or similar process.
The
certificates representing the Restricted Stock will bear the following legend:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS
AND OTHER TERMS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY
3,
2006, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER SIGNATORY THERETO. A COPY OF SUCH
AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE

Stock.
