The Committee shall have the power and authority to enforce on behalf of the Company any rights of the Company under this Agreement in the event of the forfeiture of RSUs pursuant to this Section 4(a). (b) Delivery of Vested RSUs. The Company shall deliver to the Recipient one Share for each Vested RSU within thirty (30) days following the date on which the portion of the RSUs to which the distribution relates becomes vested (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the RSUs to which the distribution relates become vested). (c) Transferability. The RSUs awarded hereunder are not transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Recipient. Any attempt to effect a Transfer of any RSUs shall be void ab initio.

(d) Hypothetical Nature of RSUs. The Recipient shall not have any rights, benefits or entitlements with respect to the Shares corresponding to the RSUs unless and until those Shares are delivered to the Recipient (and thus shall have no voting rights, or rights to receive any dividend declared, before those Shares are so delivered). On or after delivery, the Recipient shall have, with respect to the Shares delivered, all of the rights of a holder of Shares granted pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and other governing instruments of the Company, or as otherwise available at law. (e) Tax Withholding. (i) The Recipient shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the grant of RSUs (including without limitation the vesting thereof) or other distributions made by the Company to the Recipient with respect to the RSUs as and when the Company determines those amounts to be due, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Recipient any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the RSUs or other distributions made by the Company to the Recipient with respect to any RSUs. (ii) The Recipient may elect, by notice to the Committee, to satisfy his or her minimum withholding tax obligation with respect to the granting or vesting of the RSUs by the Company’s withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Recipient, such Shares being valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on which the taxable event that gives rise to the withholding requirement occurs, or by the Recipient’s delivery to the Company of a portion of the Shares previously delivered by the Company, such Shares being valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of delivery of such Shares by the Recipient to the Company. 3

(iii) Tax consequences to the Recipient (including, without limitation federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences) with respect to the RSUs (including without limitation the grant, vesting and/or forfeiture thereof) are the sole responsibility of the Recipient. The Recipient shall consult with his or her own personal accountant(s) and/or tax advisor(s) regarding these matters and the Recipient’s filing, withholding and payment (or tax liability) obligations. 5.

No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Recipient and the Committee.

No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. Unless otherwise consented to by the Committee, this Agreement shall not be assigned by the Recipient in whole or in part. The rights and obligations created hereunder shall be binding on the Recipient and his or her heirs and legal representatives and on the successors and assigns of the Company. 6. Change in Capital Structure. (a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of RSUs covered by this Award shall be proportionately adjusted and the terms of the restrictions on such RSUs shall be adjusted as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from any stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock), stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or general issuance to the holders of Common Stock of rights to purchase Common Stock at substantially below fair market value or any change in the number of such shares outstanding effected without receipt of cash or property or labor or services by the Company or for any spin-off, spin-out, split- up, split-off or other distribution of assets to stockholders. (b) The Award of RSUs pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 7. Miscellaneous. (a) No Right to Continuous Service. The grant of RSUs shall not be construed as giving the Recipient the right to Continuous Service with the Company and its Related Entities. (b) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. (c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify this Agreement or this Award under any applicable law, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the Award shall remain in full force and effect). 4

(d) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither this Agreement nor the grant made pursuant to this Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Recipient or any other Person. To the extent that the Recipient or any other Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the state of Delaware (without reference to conflict of laws rules or principles thereof).

Section 409A. (a) General.

If the Recipient or the Company believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right is not exempt from Section 409A, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with, or are exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Recipient and on the Company). (b) No Representations as to Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Recipient that the Award of RSUs pursuant 5

to this Agreement or the Shares associated with such RSUs are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Recipient or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Recipient or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A. (c) No Acceleration of Payments. Neither the Company nor the Recipient, individually or in combination, may accelerate any payment or benefit that is subject to Section 409A, except in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of this Agreement, and no amount that is subject to Section 409A shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it may be paid without violating Section 409A.

For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Recipient is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
