2.2            Vesting.  The Restricted Shares shall vest pursuant to those terms set forth in Attachment B which the Company has identified via X or other notation to be applicable to the Restricted Shares acquired pursuant to this 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.
2.3            Forfeiture, Claw Back and Company's Repurchase Rights.
 
(a)            Forfeiture.  Unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and subject to the Company's Repurchase Rights described below upon the earlier of (i) the date the Stockholder ceases to have a Business Relationship with the Company, for any reason or no reason, or (ii) the date of expiration of the measurement period for any performance vesting triggers (including the associated catch-up provisions, if any) ("Forfeiture Date").  The Company shall repurchase (the "Repurchase Right") from the Stockholder, each of the Unvested Restricted Shares for the Per Share Purchase Price stated in Section 1.1 above.  In no event shall the Repurchase Right obligate the Company to purchase from the Stockholder any Vested Shares.

(a)            He has had such opportunity as he has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit him to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.  The Stockholder acknowledges that certain of such information may be forward-looking and is therefore speculative and subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual performance of the Company to be materially and adversely different from any performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
(b)            He has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in an investment in the Restricted Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such investment.

(d)            He understands that (i) the Federal income tax consequences to the Stockholder of the purchase and sale of the Shares will vary depending upon whether the Stockholder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (ii) the Stockholder understands that the Company is not providing the Stockholder with any advice as to whether to make such election, (iii) the Stockholder has been advised to seek, and has sought, the counsel of his or his own tax advisor as to whether, where and how to make such election, (iv) such election, if made, must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, and (v) the Stockholder must notify the Company upon making such election.  A sample election form is provided in Attachment E.

(b)            If the Stockholder 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 Stockholder.
5.4            No Rights to Business Relationship.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Stockholder any right to continue his or her Business Relationship with the Company.
5.5            Waiver; Disposition of Stock.  From time to time the Company may waive its rights hereunder either generally or with respect to one or more specific transfers which have been proposed, attempted or made.  All action to be taken by the Company hereunder shall be taken by vote of a majority of its disinterested members of the Board of Directors then in office.  Any Restricted Shares which the Company has elected to purchase hereunder may be disposed of by the Board of Directors in such manner as it deems appropriate, with or without further restrictions upon the transfer thereof.
