the Company or other consideration received by the Participant as a result of a

form or electronically in “book entry”. The Secretary of the Company
or such other representative as the Committee may appoint shall retain physical
custody of each certificate representing Restricted Stock until all of the

evidenced by such certificate expire or are removed. In no event
shall the Participant retain physical custody of any certificates representing
unvested Restricted Stock assigned to Participant.
13.
No
Entitlements.
(a)
No Right to Continued
Employment. This award is not an employment agreement, and
nothing in this Award Agreement or the Plan shall (i) alter the
Participant’s status as an “at-will” employee of the Company, (ii) be
construed as guaranteeing the Participant’s employment by the Company or as
giving the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company during
any period (including without limitation the period between the Date Of Grant
and the applicable vesting date in accordance with Section 3) or
(iii) be construed as giving the Participant any right to be reemployed by
the Company following any termination of Employment.
(b)
No Right to Future
Awards. This award of Restricted Stock and all other
equity-based awards under the Plan are discretionary. This award does
not confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive another award
of Restricted Stock or any other equity-based award at any time in the future or
in respect of any future period.
(c)
No Effect on Future
Employment Compensation. The Company has made this award of
Restricted Stock to the Participant in its sole discretion. This
award does not confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive
compensation in any specific amount for any future fiscal year, and does not
diminish in any way the Company’s discretion to determine the amount, if any, of
the Participant’s compensation. In addition, this award of Restricted
Stock is not part of the Participant’s base salary or wages and will not be
taken into account in determining any other employment-related rights the
Participant may have, such as rights to pension or severance pay.
14.
Taxes and
Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount with
respect to the Restricted Stock first becomes includable in the gross income of
the Participant for applicable income tax purposes, the Participant shall pay to
the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment
of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee,
the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled in Common Stock,
including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the
withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company to deliver
the certificates for shares of Common Stock under this Award Agreement
shall be conditional upon such payment or arrangements and the Company shall, to
the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, including, without
limitation, by withholding shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon
vesting.
4
15.
Section 83(b) Election. If,
within 30 days of the Date of Grant, the Participant makes an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to
be taxed with respect to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock as of the
date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates
upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a)
of the Code, the Participant shall deliver a copy of such election to the
Company immediately after filing such election with the Internal Revenue
Service.
16.
Securities
Laws. In connection with the grant or vesting of the
Restricted Stock the Participant will make or enter into such written
representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably
request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Award
Agreement.
17.
Miscellaneous
Provisions.
(a)
Notices. Any
notice necessary under this Award Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in
care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to
the Participant at the address appearing in the records of the Company for the
Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may
hereafter designate in writing to the other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may deliver notices to the Participant by means of email
or other electronic means that are generally used for employee
communications. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon
receipt thereof by the addressee.

Headings. The
headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Award
Agreement.
(c)
Counterparts. This
Award Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and
the same instrument.
(d)
Entire
Agreement. This Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter
hereof. They supersede all other agreements, representations or
understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that
relate to the subject matter hereof.
(e)
Amendments. The
Board or the Committee shall have the power to alter, amend, modify or terminate
the Plan or this Award Agreement at any time; provided, however, that no such
termination, amendment or modification may adversely affect, in any material
respect, the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement without the
Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall have broad authority to amend this Award Agreement without the consent of
the Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (i) to comply
with or take into account changes in or interpretations of, applicable tax laws,
securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws,
rules and regulations, (ii) to ensure that the Restricted Stock is not
subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code,
(iii) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market
conditions, or (iv) to take into account significant acquisitions or
dispositions of assets or other property by the Company. Any amendment,
modification or termination shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all
persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with
respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give written
notice to the Participant in accordance with Section 17(a) of any such
amendment, modification or termination as promptly as practicable after the
adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the
Participant and the Company by mutual consent to alter or amend the terms of the
Restricted Stock in any manner that is consistent with the Plan and approved by
the Committee.

Successor. Except
as otherwise provided herein, this Award Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company, and to
any Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 7.
(g)
Choice of
Law. Except as to matters of federal law, this Award Agreement
and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its conflict of
law rules).
