2.2              Unsecured Obligation to RSUs.  Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, Holder will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such RSUs.  Prior to actual delivery of shares of Common Stock following the vesting 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.
 
2.3              Vesting Schedule.  Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice, subject to Holder’s continued status as an Employee or Non-Employee Director through the applicable vesting dates, as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSUs and the rights and benefits under this Agreement
 
2.4              Consideration to the Company.  In consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs by the Company, Holder agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Holder.
 
2.5              Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon Holder’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service will thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and Holder, or Holder’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.  No portion of the RSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Holder incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.

(b)           As set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the RSUs.  The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing shares of Common Stock to Holder or Holder’s legal representative or enter such share of Common Stock in book entry form unless and until Holder or Holder’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Holder resulting from the grant or vesting of the RSUs or the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
