If Grantee fails to timely satisfy this release requirement, all Restricted Shares otherwise vesting under this Paragraph 3(a)(iii) shall be forfeited and Grantee will have no further rights with respect thereto.

b.    Delivery. Shares will become deliverable hereunder as follows:

(1)    In the case of Restricted Shares vesting under Paragraphs 3(a)(i) or 3(a)(ii) (i.e., scheduled vesting dates, death or Disability), one Share shall be delivered in respect of each Restricted Share then vesting, within 15 days of the applicable Vesting Event; and

c.    Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Upon Grantee’s cessation of employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries, Grantee shall forfeit all the Restricted Shares (and all rights with respect thereto) that have not become vested as of or prior to such termination.

4.    Deferral of Shares. To the extent provided under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Grantee may elect to defer receipt of Shares issuable with respect to Restricted Shares.

5.    Dividend Rights. During the Performance Period, with respect to the Restricted Shares, Grantee shall have the right to receive a cash payment equal to the value of any distributions or dividends payable with respect to Shares. To the extent provided under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Grantee may elect to defer receipt of such dividend equivalent payments, provided that such election is made by December 31^st of the year prior to the year in which the Date of Grant occurs.

or such other address as may be provided to Grantee by written notice. Any notice to Grantee under this Award shall be made to Grantee at the address listed in the Company’s personnel files. All notices under this Award shall be deemed to have been given when hand-delivered, telecopied or delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be irrevocable once given.

7.    Securities Laws.

8.    Delivery of Shares. Except to the extent that Grantee has properly elected to defer the delivery of Shares under the Deferred Compensation Plan, at the time specified above in Paragraph 3(b) the Company shall, without payment from Grantee for the Restricted Shares, deliver to Grantee a certificate for the Restricted Shares without any legend or restrictions, except for such restrictions as may be imposed by the Committee, in its sole judgment, under Paragraph 7, provided that no certificates for Shares will be delivered to Grantee until appropriate arrangements have been made for the withholding of any taxes which may be due with respect to such Shares. The Company is authorized to withhold from any cash remuneration then or thereafter payable to Grantee an amount sufficient to cover required tax withholdings and is further authorized to cancel a number of Shares otherwise issuable hereunder having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the required tax withholdings. The Company may condition delivery of certificates for Shares upon the prior receipt from Grantee of any undertakings which it may determine are required to assure that the certificates are being issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The right to payment of any fractional Shares shall be satisfied in cash, measured by the product of the fractional amount times the fair market value of a Share on the date of delivery, as determined by the Committee.

9.    Award Not to Affect Employment. The Award granted hereunder shall not confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary.

10.    Section 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from Section 409A and will be interpreted accordingly. To the extent any payment under this Award is conditioned on the effectiveness of a release of claims and the period Grantee is afforded to consider the release spans two calendar years, payment will be made in the second calendar year.

11.    Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Grantee agrees that this Award will be subject to the terms of any current or future clawback or recapture policy adopted by the Company and any current or future law, regulation or stock exchange listing requirement regarding the clawback or recapture of compensation.
