To accept this offer, you should complete and sign the enclosed copy of this Agreement, and return it to the Company. This Agreement contains important information and you should read it carefully before you sign it.

(c) If your service as a director of the Company is terminated for any reason other than death or Total Disability, all of your rights to Stock not vested at the time of termination shall immediately terminate and all unvested Stock, if any, shall be returned to the Company forthwith.

 

(d) If you terminate your service as a director of the Company because of death or Total Disability, the restrictions imposed upon the Stock shall lapse and be removed (and all shares of the Stock shall become fully vested) upon such termination of service.

 

(e) In the event of a Change in Control, the restrictions imposed under Paragraph (a) above upon the Stock shall lapse and be removed (and all shares of the Stock shall become fully vested) as of the date of such Change in Control.

 

In order to enforce the foregoing restrictions, the Board may (i) require that the certificates representing the shares of Stock remain in the physical custody of the Company or in book entry until any or all of such restrictions expire or have been removed, and (ii) may cause a legend or legends to be placed on the certificates which make appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under the Plan.

 

4. Voting and Other Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, during the period prior to the lapse and removal of the restrictions set forth in Section 3 above, except as otherwise provided herein, you shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to all of the Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Stock and the rights to receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to such Stock. In connection with the payment of such dividends or other distributions, you hereby authorize the Company to deduct any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such authority for your account.

 

5. Expiration of the Restricted Term. Upon the lapse and removal of the restrictions applicable to all or any portion of the Stock as provided in Section 3 above the Company intends to issue to you a Form 1099, and you shall be responsible for paying all taxes. If, however, the Company is required to withhold for taxes, you hereby agree, with respect to such Stock, to pay to the Company, in the form of cash or a certified or bank cashier’s check, an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such authority for your account, or to otherwise make arrangements satisfactory to the Board for the payment of such amounts. You hereby agree that if requested by the Board, you will make appropriate representations in a form satisfactory to the Board that such Stock will not be sold other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act and (ii) in compliance with all applicable state securities laws and regulations.
