SECTION 3.  Vesting and Delivery.  (a)  Vesting.  On each Vesting Date set forth below, your rights with respect to the number of Restricted Shares that corresponds to such Vesting Date, as specified in the chart below, shall become vested, and the restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement shall lapse, provided that you must serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as of the applicable Vesting Date, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) after the Grant Date, the Restricted Shares, to the extent then outstanding and unvested, shall automatically be deemed vested as of immediately prior to such Change of Control, as contemplated by Section 8 of the Plan.  In the event you cease to serve as a member of the Board due to your (a) death or (b) Disability, the Restricted Shares, to the extent then outstanding and unvested, shall automatically be deemed vested as of the date of your cessation of service on the Board by reason of such death or Disability.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares, at any time and from time to time.
