Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the 2007 Plan.
2. RESTRICTIONS. The unvested Shares underlying your Restricted Stock
Award (the "Restricted Shares") are subject to the following
restrictions until they expire or terminate.
(a) Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.
(b) If your employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate
terminates for any reason other than as set forth in paragraph
(b) of Section 3 hereof, then you will forfeit all of your
rights, title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as
of the date of termination, and the Restricted Shares shall
revert to the Company under the terms of the 2007 Plan.
(c) Restricted Shares are subject to the vesting schedule set forth
on page 1 of this Award Agreement.
3. EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions imposed
under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following
(the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the
"Restricted Period"):
(a) As to the percentages of the Shares specified in the vesting
schedule on page 1 of this Award Agreement, on the respective

are then still employed by or in the service of the Company or
an Affiliate; or
(b) Upon termination of your employment by reason of death or
Disability; or
(c) Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Plan).
4. DELIVERY OF SHARES. Once the Shares are vested (see vesting schedule on
page 1), the Shares (and accumulated dividends and earnings, if any)
will be distributed in accordance with your instructions.
5. VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. As beneficial owner of the Shares, you have
full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and
after the Restricted Period. If you forfeit your rights under this
Award Agreement in accordance with Section 2, you will no longer have

(including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares),
your award will be adjusted as necessary to preserve the benefits or
potential benefits of the award. Without limiting the above, in the
event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a
declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or
consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares,
the Shares subject to this Award Agreement will automatically be
adjusted proportionately.
7. NO RIGHT OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Award Agreement will
interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Affiliate to terminate your employment or service at any time, nor
confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or service of the
Company or any Affiliate.
8. PAYMENT OF TAXES. You may make an election to be taxed upon your
Restricted Stock Award under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days

condition of delivery: (i) that you remit an amount sufficient to
satisfy any and all federal, state and local (if any) tax withholding
requirements and employment taxes (I.E., FICA and FUTA), (ii) that the
withholding of such sums come
4
from compensation otherwise due to you or from Shares due to you under
the 2007 Plan, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. Any
withholding shall comply with Rule 16b-3 or any amendments or
successive rules. OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY ARE SELF-EMPLOYED
AND NOT SUBJECT TO TAX WITHHOLDING.
