To the extent that any provision of this Award Agreement conflicts with the expressly applicable terms of the Plan, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that those terms of the Plan shall control and, if necessary, the applicable provisions of this Award Agreement shall be hereby deemed amended so as to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan.
2. Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Restricted Stock Units Award. The Company hereby grants to you an aggregate of ____ restricted stock units (individually, an "RSU," and collectively, "RSUs") as more specifically set forth in Section 2(e). Each RSU entitles you to receive one share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") at such time as the restrictions described in Section 2(d)(ii) lapse as described in Section 2(e).
(b) Form of Shares; Possession of Certificates. The Company shall issue the Shares you become entitled to receive hereunder by book-entry registration or by issuance of a certificate or certificates for the Shares in your name as soon as practicable after the restrictions in Section 2(d)(ii) lapse as described in Section 2(e). In the event the Company issues a certificate or certificates for the Shares, such certificates shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the committee of the Board of Directors that administers the Plan may deem necessary or advisable under the Plan and rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are then listed, and any applicable foreign, federal or state securities laws.
(c) Stockholder Rights Prior to Issuance of Shares. Neither you nor any of your beneficiaries shall be deemed to have any voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares covered by the RSUs until the date of book-entry registration or issuance by the Company of a certificate to you for such Shares.

(B) You may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any RSUs or any rights under the RSUs. No RSU and no rights under any such RSU may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If you or anyone claiming under or through you attempts to violate this Section 2(d)(ii), such attempted violation shall be null and void and without effect, and all of the Company’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.
(e) Lapse of Restrictions.
(i) The restrictions described in Section 2(d)(ii) shall lapse with respect to the RSUs on the first anniversary of the date of this Award Agreement.

Unless a registration statement relating to the Shares issuable upon the lapse of the restrictions on the RSUs pursuant to this Award Agreement is in effect at the time of issuance of such Shares, the certificate(s) for the Shares shall contain the following legend:
The securities evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other securities laws. These securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred for value in the absence of an effective registration of them under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and any other applicable securities laws, or receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel or other evidence acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required under such acts.
