The RSU Agreement sets forth certain terms and conditions in connection with the Board’s grant of restricted stock units under the 2012 Program, including: (i) the number of restricted stock units granted to the grantee, (ii) vesting periods for the restricted stock units, and (iii) a one-year restriction, beginning from the date a restricted stock unit vests, on the grantee’s ability to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the vested restricted stock unit (or the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock represented by the restricted stock unit). The RSU Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
