Nothing in the preceding sentence, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his/her consent thereto.

SECTION 3.NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the RSUs and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process.

(a)Vesting Dates. The RSUs granted hereby shall vest on each of Vesting Date as set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant.

(b)Issuance of Shares. Upon vesting of the RSUs on each Vesting Date, the Company shall cause to be issued Shares in accordance with the Vesting Terms set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant (either in certificate or book entry form, as determined by the Company), registered in the name of the Participant (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship). For each vested RSU, the Participant shall receive one Share.

(c)Withholding Taxes. In the event that the Company determines that it is required to withhold any tax as a result of the vesting of the RSUs, the Participant, as a condition to the vesting of the RSUs, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy

all withholding requirements. The Participant shall also make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy any withholding requirements that may arise in connection with the vesting or disposition of the Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs, which may include withholding the appropriate amount necessary from any compensation paid to Participant.  In addition, the Company, in its discretion, may withhold Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the vesting RSUs equal to the amount of value needed by the Company to satisfy its tax withholding obligations.

(d)Issue Price. The issue price for each of the issued Shares upon vesting of the RSUs will be equal to the Fair Market Value of each Share on the date of issuance.
