PERIOD OF RESTRICTION
PERIOD OF RESTRICTION
The Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: [insert vesting schedule]. In addition,
upon a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction that occurs before the Grantee’s Continuous
Service has ceased, the Restricted Stock Unites shall become fully vested. Upon the earliest of
the following to occur upon or after all or a portion of an award of Restricted Stock Units
vesting, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each Restricted Stock Unit that has vested
(the “RSU Shares”): (a) the director’s cessation of service as a director for any reason; (b) a
Change in Control or Corporate Transaction involving the Company occurs before the Grantee’s
Continuous Service has ceased; or (c) the time elected by the director that is irrevocable as of
the last day of the year preceding the Date of Grant or such later time as permitted pursuant to
Section 409A of the Code and permitted by the Administrator (the “Payment Date”). Effective on the
Payment Date, the Company will issue such RSU Shares to the Grantee. By delivering a written
election to the Company prior to the Payment Date, the Grantee may elect to have the Company pay
out up to fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Stock Units in cash on the Payment Date (based on
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Payment Date) to facilitate the Grantee’s payment
of applicable taxes. If the Grantee makes such election, then the number of RSU Shares to be issued
to the Grantee on the Payment Date shall be the net number of RSU Shares after taking into account
the amount of such cash pay out. No fractional shares shall be issued. Any fractional portion of
vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid to the Grantee in cash, based on the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock on the applicable Payment Date.

VOTING RIGHTS
VOTING RIGHTS
There are no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units or the Common Stock

receive dividends paid in cash, in lieu of a cash payment, the Grantee shall automatically receive
additional Restricted Stock Units equal in value to such cash dividend otherwise payable. For such
purposes, the value of the number of additional Restricted Stock Units to be issued shall be deemed
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock, valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common

Stock on the date such dividend is paid, equal in value to such cash dividend; provided,
however that the Company shall not issue fractional Restricted Stock Units, and any amount that
would have otherwise been payable as a fractional unit shall be paid in cash to the Grantee. If
any such dividends or distributions are paid to the stockholders of the Company in shares of Common
Stock, the Grantee shall receive a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock the Grantee would have received if the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which
the Grantee is receiving the dividend had already been settled in shares of Common Stock. In each
case, any such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements,
payment conditions and restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect
to which they were distributed.
