ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

Section 1.1            Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II.

Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any affiliates and for other good and valuable consideration.

Section 2.2            Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock underlying any such RSUs. Prior to actual settlement of any RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

The terms of the RSUs shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.

A-1 

Section 2.4            Tax-Related Items. As a condition to the grant, vesting and settlement of the RSUs and as further set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for the satisfaction of (and will indemnify the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for) any applicable taxes or tax withholdings, social contributions, required deductions, or other payments, if any (“Tax-Related Items”), which arise upon the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, ownership or disposition of Shares, receipt of dividends, if any, or otherwise in connection with the RSUs or the Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate takes with respect to any or all applicable Tax-Related Items, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax- Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed any amount actually withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that Participant is solely responsible for filing all relevant documentation that may be required in relation to RSUs or any Tax-Related Items (other than filings or documentation that is the specific obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to Applicable Law), such as but not limited to personal income tax returns or reporting statements in relation to the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the holding of Shares or any bank or brokerage account, the subsequent sale of Shares, and the receipt of any dividends. Participant further acknowledges that the Company makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items and does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Participant also understands that Applicable Laws may require varying Share valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or Tax-Related Items that may be required of Participant under Applicable Laws. Further, if Participant has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Section 2.5             Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.

(a)            Within 120 days following the Vesting Date of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof (but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares of Common Stock or by entering such shares of Common Stock in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, unless such RSUs terminate prior to the applicable Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in settlement of RSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate federal securities laws or any other Applicable Laws, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution shall be delayed under this Section 2.5(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code.

The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure to issue or deliver any Shares upon the vesting of the RSUs unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. Furthermore, the Participant understands that the Applicable Laws of the country in which the Participant is residing or working at the time of grant or vesting of the RSUs (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters) may restrict or prevent settlement of the RSUs. The RSUs may not be settled until such time as the Plan has been approved by the holders of capital stock of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such settlement or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws, including any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or any other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the issuance or delivery of the Shares, the Company may require the Participant to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for U.S. income tax purposes, the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Participant on the date on which the Company initiates payment of the Shares in settlement of the RSUs, subject to Applicable Laws.

The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such shares of Common Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Common Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

Section 2.8             Lock-Up Agreement. If so requested by the Company or the underwriters in connection with a Public Offering, the Participant shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company however or whenever acquired (except for those being registered) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement, plus such additional period, to the extent required by FINRA rules, up to a maximum of 216 days from the effective date of the registration statement, and the Participant shall execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters at the time of such offering. “Public Offering” means, whether directly or indirectly (including through one or more affiliated companies and/or IPO vehicles), (a) a direct listing of the equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) any merger of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with or into a “special purpose acquisition corporation” or “blank check company” (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) or (c) the Company or any of its subsidiaries’ first underwritten sale to the public of the Company’s or such subsidiary’s equity securities (or its successor’s equity securities) under the Securities Act.
