and the denominator of which is 365. For the purposes of the Plan, the term “Business Day” shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and is conducting normal trading activity.

6.2 Forfeiture Restrictions. Shares of Common Stock that are the subject of a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to restrictions on disposition by the Eligible Director and to an obligation of the Eligible Director to forfeit and surrender the shares to the Company under certain circumstances (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse on the passage of time or the occurrence of such other event or events determined to be appropriate by the Committee. The Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a particular Restricted Stock Award (which may differ from any other such Restricted Stock Award) shall be stated in the Restricted Stock Agreement.

6.3 Vesting. The Forfeiture Restrictions referred to in Section 6.2 above for any particular Restricted Stock Award shall include the following vesting schedule:

 

Anniversary of Date of Grant		Portion of Shares That Are Vested On or After Such Anniversary and Before Next Anniversary
First		25%

If an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director due to death, then all of such Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock shall immediately vest in full.

Furthermore, if an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director because of voluntary retirement after a lengthy period of service on the Board or because of health reasons, the Eligible Directors may, in their sole discretion, take action, which action would exclude the participation of the affected Eligible Director, to vest in full the affected Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock that was awarded at least one year prior to the affected Eligible Director’s cessation of Board service.

6.4 Restricted Stock Awards. Shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in the name of the Eligible Director of such Restricted Stock Award or by a book entry account with the Company or the Company’s transfer agent.  To the extent and on the terms and conditions authorized by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, the Eligible Director shall have the right to receive dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award, to vote the shares of Common Stock subject thereto and, except as otherwise provided herein, to enjoy all other stockholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, except that, unless provided otherwise in the Restricted Stock Agreement, (i) the Eligible Director shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (ii) the Company or an escrow agent shall retain custody of the certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock (or such shares shall be held in a book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent) until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (iii) the Eligible Director may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, and (iv) a breach of the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Award.  The right to vote and receive dividends on the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement (including, without limitation, whether any dividends that are authorized to be paid under the Restricted Stock Award shall be paid to the Eligible Director at the time the dividends are declared on the shares of Common Stock or held in escrow and paid to the Eligible Director at the time the related shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award vest).  At the time of such Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions or restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock Award, including rules pertaining to the Eligible Director’s Termination of Service prior to expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions. Such additional terms, conditions or restrictions shall also be set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement made in connection with the Restricted Stock Award.

 

6.5 Rights and Obligations of Eligible Director. One or more stock certificates representing shares of Common Stock, free of Forfeiture Restrictions, shall be delivered to the Eligible Director promptly after, and only after, the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired and the Eligible Director has satisfied all applicable federal, state and local income tax withholding requirements, if any. Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall require that (i) the Eligible Director, by his or her acceptance of the Restricted Stock Award, shall irrevocably grant to the Company a power of attorney to transfer any shares so forfeited to the Company and agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with such forfeiture and transfer, and (ii) such provisions regarding transfers of forfeited shares of Common Stock shall be specifically performable by the Company in a court of equity or law.

6.6 Restriction Period. The Restriction Period for a Restricted Stock Award shall commence on the Date of Grant of the Restricted Stock Award and shall expire upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse.

6.7 Securities Restrictions. The Committee may impose other conditions on any shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award as it may deem advisable, including (i) restrictions under applicable state or federal securities laws, and (ii) the requirements of any stock exchange or national market system upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

6.8 Payment for Restricted Stock. The Committee shall determine the amount and form of any payment for shares of Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award; provided, that in the absence of such a determination, the Eligible Director shall not be required to make any payment for shares of Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

6.9 Withholding Taxes. The Committee may establish such rules and procedures as it considers desirable in order to satisfy any obligation of the Company to withhold applicable federal, state and local income taxes with respect to the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Awards. Prior to delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award, the Eligible Director shall pay or make adequate provision acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of all tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any.

 

ARTICLE 7

AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7, the Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, revise, suspend, or discontinue the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that any amendment to the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company if the amendment would (a) materially increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan, (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, (c) materially increase the benefits accruing to Eligible Directors under the Plan, or (d) otherwise require stockholder approval due to the requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or traded or in order for the Plan or Restricted Stock Awards to continue to comply with sections of the Code or any other laws applicable to Restricted Stock Awards made under this Plan.

In the event of any such amendment to the Plan, the holder of any Restricted Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan shall, upon request of the Committee and as a condition to the applicable lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions thereon, execute a conforming amendment in the form prescribed by the Committee to any Restricted Stock Agreement relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, unless required by law, no action contemplated or permitted by this Article 7 shall adversely affect any rights of Eligible Directors or obligations of the Company to Eligible Directors with respect to any Restricted Stock Awards theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the affected Eligible Director.

(a) An appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock then subject to being awarded under the Plan and in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be awarded to an Eligible Director to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to being so awarded.

(b) Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number of outstanding shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which Forfeiture Restrictions have not yet lapsed prior to any such change.

Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment with respect to any Restricted Stock Award, the Company shall communicate by reasonable means intended to reach each affected Eligible Director its computation of such adjustment which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon each such Eligible Director.

ARTICLE 10

RECAPITALIZATION, MERGER AND

CONSOLIDATION; CHANGE IN CONTROL

10.2 Subject to any required action by the stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving or resulting corporation in any merger, consolidation or share exchange, any Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the securities or rights (including cash, property, or assets) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Awards would have been entitled.

10.3 In the event of any merger, consolidation or share exchange pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, there shall be substituted for each share of Common Stock subject to the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, that number of shares of each class of stock or other securities or that amount of cash, property, or assets of the surviving, resulting or consolidated company which were distributed or

distributable to the stockholders of the Company in respect to each share of Common Stock held by them, such outstanding Restricted Stock Awards to be thereafter applicable to such stock, securities, cash, or property in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such Restricted Stock Awards may be canceled by the Company as of the effective date of any such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or share exchange by giving notice to each holder thereof or his personal representative of its intention to do so and by permitting the purchase by the Company during the thirty (30) day period next preceding such effective date of all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Restricted Stock Awards at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of purchase.

12.2 No Right to Continued Board Membership. The grant of Restricted Stock shall not be construed as giving an Eligible Director the right to be retained as a Director of the Company. The Board may at any time fail or refuse to nominate an Eligible Director for reelection to the Board, the stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or refuse to reelect any Eligible Director to the Board or an Eligible Director may be subject to Removal, in each case, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Restricted Stock Award except as expressly set forth herein.

If, however, any provision of the Plan is held to be wholly illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future law, such provision shall be fully severable and severed, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part hereof, and the remaining provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provisionor by its severance.
