Thereupon, Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including voting and dividend rights, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictions and conditions specified in Section 2 below.
2. Restrictions and Conditions.
2.1 The Award granted herein may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Grantee prior to vesting.
2.2 In the event the Loanout Agreement is terminated by the Company “for cause” (as defined below) or by Grantee, any portion of the Award not vested at the time of such termination shall be automatically forfeited by Grantee as of the date of such termination. Termination “for cause” means, termination for cause by the Company as defined in this Agreement or in the Loanout Agreement.

In the event Grantee desires to transfer any Shares prior to the ninety-first (91st) day from the termination of the Loanout Agreement, Grantee shall first offer to sell such Shares to the Company. Grantee shall deliver to the Company written notice of the intended sale, such notice to specify the number of Shares to be sold, the proposed purchase price and terms of payment, and grant the Company an option for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to purchase the offered Shares upon the same terms and conditions. To exercise such option, the Company shall give notice of that fact to Grantee within the 30-day notice period and agree to pay the purchase price in the manner provided in the notice. If the Company does not purchase all of the Shares so offered during foregoing option period, Grantee shall be under no obligation to sell any of the offered Shares to the Company, but may dispose of such Shares in any lawful manner during a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the end of such notice period, except that Grantee shall not sell any such Shares to any other person at a lower price or upon more favorable terms than those offered to the Company.
7. Restricted Securities. The Shares shall be “restricted” and cannot be resold without their prior registration or compliance with the terms of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
8. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
9. Invalid Provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision thereof shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had been omitted.
10. Modifications. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
