       WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide the Awardee an incentive to participate in the success and growth of the Company through the holding of a proprietatry interest in the Company; and
 
       WHEREAS, to give effect to the foregoing intentions, the Company desires to grant the Awardee a restricted stock award of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the I.D. Systems, Inc. 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”);
 
       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

       2.           Lapsing Forfeiture Provisions.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Awardee shall forfeit the Restricted Shares to the extent that the Awardee does not satisfy the applicable vesting requirements set forth in Exhibit A.
 
       3.           Transfer Restrictions.  Prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, the Awardee shall not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer (voluntarily or involuntarily) any of the Restricted Shares.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section shall lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares for which such conditions are satisfied.   As a condition of the grant of this award, Awardee may be required to execute a stock power in blank in the form of Exhibit B hereto with respect to any shares issued pursuant to this Agreement.
 
       4.           Adjustment of Shares.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of any change in the Company’s Common Stock resulting from a corporate transaction including, but not limited to, a subdivision or consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, share split, reverse share split, share distribution, combination of shares or the payment of a share dividend, the Restricted Shares shall be treated in the same manner in any such transaction as other Common Stock.  Any Common Stock or other securities received by the Awa rdee as a result of such transaction with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the attached Exhibit A.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
       5.           Rights as Stockholder.  Except as provided by Section 3 hereof, the Awardee shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the Award Date, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and receive dividends and other distributions payable with respect to same.
