AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

7.1. Eligibility. Subject to the Award Limit, Restricted Stock may be awarded to any Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director who the Administrator determines should receive such an Award.

7.2. Award of Restricted Stock.

(a) The Administrator may from time to time, in its discretion:

(i) Select from among the Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants (including Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants who have previously received Awards under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be awarded Restricted Stock; and

(ii) Determine the purchase price, if any, and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock, consistent with the Plan.

(b) The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock; provided, however, that such purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock.

(c) Upon the selection of an Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director to be awarded Restricted Stock, the Administrator shall instruct the Secretary of the Company to issue such Restricted Stock and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.

7.3. Rights as Stockholders. Subject to Section 7.4, upon delivery of the shares of Restricted Stock to the escrow holder pursuant to Section 7.6, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said shares, subject to the restrictions in his or her Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Common Stock shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.4.

7.4. Restriction. All shares of Restricted Stock issued under the Plan (including any shares received by Holders thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of each individual Award Agreement, be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator shall provide, which restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and restrictions based on duration of employment, directorship or consultancy with the Company, Company performance and individual performance; provided, however, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by

the terms of the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire. If no consideration was paid by the Holder upon issuance, a Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company without consideration, upon Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship, or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator in its discretion may provide that such rights shall not lapse in the event of a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, following a Change in Control or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or disability or termination without cause, or otherwise, subject to Section 3.4(b).

7.5. Repurchase of Restricted Stock. The Administrator shall provide in the terms of each individual Award Agreement that the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions under the Award Agreement immediately upon a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship, or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the Administrator in its discretion may provide that such rights shall not lapse in the event of a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, following a Change in Control or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or disability or termination without cause, or otherwise, subject to Section 3.4(b).

7.6. Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint shall retain physical custody of each certificate representing Restricted Stock until all of the restrictions imposed under the Award Agreement with respect to the shares evidenced by such certificate expire or shall have been removed.

7.7. Legend. In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Administrator shall cause a legend or legends to be placed on certificates representing all shares of Restricted Stock that are still subject to restrictions under Award Agreements, which legend or legends shall make appropriate reference to the conditions imposed thereby.

7.8. Section 83(b) Election. If a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company immediately after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

Section 2.2 - Purchase Price.

The purchase price of the Restricted Shares shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice without commission or other charge, now due and payable by Employee in cash or by check, receipt of which is acknowledged.

Section 2.3 - Consideration to the Company.

As partial consideration for the Company’s transfer of the Restricted Shares to Employee, Employee agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary, with such duties and responsibilities as the Company shall from time to time prescribe. Nothing in this Agreement, the Grant Notice, the Plan or the Stockholders’ Agreement shall confer upon Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written employment agreement between Employee and the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 2.4 - Stockholders’ Agreement.

The Restricted Shares to be transferred hereunder shall be subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement. As a condition to the transfer of the Restricted Shares, Employee shall execute, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the Stockholders’ Agreement attached as Exhibit “B” to the Grant Notice.

Section 2.5 - Adjustments in Restricted Shares.

The Administrator may adjust the Restricted Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan.

SECTION 2.6 - Employee’s Representations and Warranties.

In connection with the acquisition of the Restricted Shares, Employee represents and warrants to the Company and agrees and acknowledges, that:

(a) Employee is acquiring the Restricted Shares for his or her own account, for investment purposes only and not with a present view toward the distribution thereof or with any present intention of distributing or reselling any such Restricted Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities laws and that, irrespective of any other provisions of this Agreement or the Stockholders’ Agreement, any Disposition of the Restricted Shares by Employee shall be made only in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act.

(b) The Restricted Shares are not registered under the Securities Act and must be held by Employee until the Restricted Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; neither the Company nor Blackhawk shall (subject to Section 8 of the Stockholders’ Agreement) have any obligation to take any action that may be necessary to make available any exemption from registration under the Securities Act; and “stop

 

4


transfer” directions prohibiting Dispositions in violation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall be given to the party responsible for recording Dispositions of the Restricted Shares.

(c) Employee is familiar with Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act which establishes guidelines governing, among other things, the resale of “restricted securities” (such as the Restricted Shares). Rule 144 is not presently available for Dispositions of the Restricted Shares.

(d) Employee has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Restricted Shares. Employee has had full access to such information and materials concerning Blackhawk as Employee has requested. Either the Company or Blackhawk has answered all inquiries that Employee has made to the Company or Blackhawk relating to Blackhawk or the sale of the Restricted Shares.

(e) Employee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Employee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Restricted Shares and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto or has consulted with advisors who possess such knowledge and experience.

(f) Employee is able to bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Restricted Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(g) Employee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
