3. Lapse of Restriction.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, and contingent upon Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. If Executive attains Retirement Age while in the employ of the Company, the Restricted Period shall expire as to 50% of the RSUs. The restrictions on the remaining 50% of RSUs shall expire in accordance with this paragraph 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority to remove the Restrictions on the Restricted Stock whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the Grant Date, such action is appropriate.

Any shares of Restricted Stock for which the Restrictions have lapsed or been removed shall be referred to hereunder as “released Restricted Stock.”

4. Certificates.

Certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in Executive’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the date hereof.

5. Effect of Termination of Employment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all unreleased Restricted Stock issued hereunder shall be forfeited upon the occurrence of any event set forth in Section 3 of Executive’s LTCA. In addition, in the event the Executive terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the date of Executive’s death or Disability and the Restricted Stock shall become Released Restricted Stock.

6. Rights as a Shareholder.

Executive shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock unless and until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or 5 hereof, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common shareholder of the Company; provided that the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the lapse or removal of Restrictions on any Restricted Stock, Executive shall return the certificate representing such released Restricted Stock to the company and the Company shall deliver to Executive or Executive’s legal representative a replacement certificate for such released Restricted Stock with the restrictive legend removed.
