OUTSIDE DIRECTOR
NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD & AGREEMENT
PART II
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD TERMS
1. Grant of Restricted Shares. The Participant named in Part I of this Notice of Restricted Stock Award & Agreement (“Award Agreement”) has been granted the number of Restricted Shares set forth in Part I, subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
2. Stock Power. Simultaneously with execution of this Award Agreement, the Participant shall execute the Stock Power attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon receipt of the executed Stock Power and full payment of the Purchase Price set forth in the Notice of Award, the Company shall issue and hold in escrow one or more certificates in the name of the Participant for that number of Restricted Shares purchased by the Participant, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. While in escrow, the Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”), any of the Restricted Shares, or any interest therein. As an alternative to issuing physical certificates, the Company may record ownership of the Restricted Shares, and the applicable restrictions, in book form (or in any other form of un-certificated ownership).
3. Vesting. The Restricted Shares shall vest pursuant to those terms set forth in Part I of this Award Agreement. Until vesting has been achieved, the Restricted Shares shall be referred to as Unvested Restricted Shares. Upon vesting, the Restricted Shares shall be referred to as Vested Restricted Shares and shall be released from escrow. However, certificates for Vested Restricted Shares shall bear the restrictive legends set forth in Section 15, below.
| 4. | Forfeiture and Claw-Back. |
(a) Forfeiture. Unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and subject to the Company’s Repurchase Rights described below upon the date the Participant ceases to have a Business Relationship with the Company, for any reason or no reason (the “Forfeiture Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, however, the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, may waive such forfeiture, thereby allowing the Participant to retain the Unvested Restricted Shares, which would vest pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth herein. In the event the Board of Directors does not waive such forfeiture, the Company shall repurchase (the “Repurchase Right”) from the Participant each of the Unvested Restricted Shares for the per share Purchase Price stated in the Notice of Award ($0.02 per share). In no event shall the Repurchase Right obligate the Company to purchase from the Participant any Vested Shares.
4
(b) Return/Claw-Back of Shares with Performance Vesting. Restricted Shares (including both Unvested Restricted Shares and Vested Restricted Shares) which are subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and claw-back as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).
| (c) | Exercise of Repurchase Right and Closing. |
(i) The Company shall exercise the Repurchase Right described in this Section 4 by delivering or mailing to the Participant (or Participant’s estate) written notice of exercise within 30 days after the Forfeiture Date or such deduction/clawback period pursuant to any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement.
(ii) Within ten days after receipt of the Company’s notice of the exercise of the Repurchase Right described above, the Participant (or Participant’s estate or escrow agent) shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates, if applicable, representing the Restricted Shares which the Company has elected to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by the Participant or with duly executed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Restricted Shares to the Company. If ownership of the Restricted Shares is reflected in book form (or in any other form of un-certificated ownership), the Participant shall execute and provide any and all such documentation or other authorization suitable for the transfer of such Restricted Shares to the Company.
(iii) After the time at which any Restricted Shares are required to be delivered to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) above, the Company shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Restricted Shares or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such Restricted Shares, but shall, insofar as permitted by law, treat the Company as the owner of such Restricted Shares.
(iv) The Company shall not purchase any fraction of a Restricted Share upon exercise of the Repurchase Right, and any fraction of a Restricted Share shall be rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Share (with any fraction greater than or equal to one-half (1/2) Restricted Share being rounded upward).
5
5. Restrictions on Transfers of Vested Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred in accordance with Company trading policy as follows:
(a) Vested Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred in such number as the Company reasonably estimates will be sufficient to provide the Participants with enough after-tax cash to pay income taxes that become due as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Shares;
(b) Except as expressly provided in Section 5 (a) above, the Participant shall not, during service as a Director of the Company, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “Transfer”), any of the Restricted Shares, whether unvested or vested, or any interest therein.
(c) ☐ Other
[Company to insert additional Restrictions on Transfer, if any]
6. Company’s Right to Purchase Vested Restricted Shares. For a period of one (1) year from the date Participant ceases to be a Director of Company for any or no reason, including but not limited to death, disability, retirement, or expiration of term, prior to disposition or transfer of any Vested Restricted Shares by the Participant or Executor of Participant’s estate (collectively referred to as the “Seller”), the Seller shall provide advance written notice of such intended disposition or transfer to the Company. Such advance written notice shall be provided at least two (2) business days in advance of the intended disposition or transfer. Following receipt of such notice the Company shall have two (2) business days during which it may elect to purchase the Vested Restricted Shares that the Seller intends to dispose of or transfer. If the Company elects to purchase such Vested Restricted Shares, the Company shall provide the Seller with written notice of the Company’s election to purchase the Vested Restricted Shares and shall complete the purchase within five business days of the Company’s notice of its election. The per share purchase price for the Vested Restricted Shares purchased by the Company shall equal the average of the closing prices for a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the five (5) trading days that immediately precede the date the purchase is completed. The Seller shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate(s) representing the Vested Restricted Shares which the Company has elected to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by the Seller or with duly executed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Vested Restricted Shares to the Company. If ownership of the Vested Restricted Shares is reflected in book form (or in any other form of un-certificated ownership), the Seller shall execute and provide any and all such documentation or other authorization suitable for the transfer of such Vested Shares to the Company.
7. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. If there is any stock split-up, stock dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of the Restricted Shares shall be immediately subject to the restrictions on transfer and the other provisions of this Award Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Restricted Shares. The Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted.
6
8. Market “Stand-Off” Agreement. During the period of duration (not to exceed 180 days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, the Participant shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by the Participant at any time during such period except shares included in such registration; provided, however, that all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. The market “stand-off” agreement established pursuant to this Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Award Agreement.
9. Transfers in Violation of Agreement. If any transfer of the Restricted Shares is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Award Agreement, the Company shall have the right to purchase the Restricted Shares from the owner thereof or their transferee at any time before or after the transfer, as herein provided. In the event that the Company elects to exercise its right under this Section, it may do so by canceling the certificate(s) representing the affected Restricted Shares and depositing the purchase price, which shall be the stated par value of each applicable share of Common Stock, in a bank account for the benefit of Participant, whereupon such shares shall be, for all purposes, canceled and neither the Participant nor any transferee shall have any rights as one of the Company’s stockholders with respect to such shares for any purpose, including without limitation dividend and voting rights. In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which it may have, the Company may enforce its rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law).
10. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the grant of the Restricted Shares, Participant agrees to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 10. If the Participant violates any of the restrictive covenants described in this Section 10, then in addition to any other legal and equitable remedies (including injunctive relief) that may be available to the Company, this Award Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Company shall have the right to repurchase (for the stated par value per share) any of the Restricted Shares whether or not such shares have vested. The exercise of the Company’s right to repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner described in Section 4(c) of this Part II of the Award Agreement.
(a) Confidentiality. Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose or use in any way, either during employment by the Company or thereafter, except to perform services as a director of the Company, any confidential business or technical information or trade secret acquired in the course of serving in such capacity that is not in the public domain. Participant covenants to use best efforts to prevent the publication or disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information that is not in the public domain and that relates to the business or finances of the Company or the Company's affiliates, or any of its or their dealings, transactions or affairs which may come to her or his knowledge in the pursuance of her or his duties or employment.

(b) If Participant elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize ordinary income in the year of acquisition of the Restricted Shares, the Company will require at the time of such election an additional payment for withholding tax purposes based on the difference, if any, between the purchase price for such Restricted Shares and the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Shares as of the date of the purchase of such Restricted Shares by the Participant.
