    2.    Vesting.

(a)    Regular Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Section 2, your Award shall vest and become exercisable 50% on the 2nd anniversary of the Grant Date and the remaining 50% on the 3rd anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to your continued employment or service with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

    (A)    In the event of your Retirement prior to the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, you shall continue to vest in a pro rata portion of the Award for the remainder of the Vesting Period. The pro rata portion of the Award shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to this Award, without proration, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through your Retirement, and the denominator of which is 365. The portion of the Award that vests pursuant to this paragraph shall become exercisable in accordance with the normal vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a) and shall expire at the earlier of (i) three years after the date of your Retirement, or (ii) the Expiration Date (as defined below).

(B)    In the event of your Retirement on or following the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, you shall continue to vest in the Award, without proration, for the remainder of the Vesting Period, and the Award shall become exercisable in accordance with the normal vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a) and shall expire at the earlier of (i) three years after the date of your Retirement, or (ii) the Expiration Date (as defined below).

(C)    In the event of your death or termination by the Company due to Disability, the Award, without proration, shall become vested and exercisable on the date of your death or termination by the Company due to Disability.

Your refusal to fulfill any of the conditions set forth in (w), (x), (y) or (z) above, your breach of any agreement entered into pursuant to (x) or (y) above, or if, after your Retirement, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified your termination for Cause (as defined below) if you were still employed by the Company, shall constitute a waiver and forfeiture by you of the benefits attributable to Retirement under this Agreement.

    3.    Expiration of the Base Shares. The Award shall expire, and shall not be exercisable with respect to any vested portion as to which the Award has not been exercised, on the first to occur of: (i) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”); (ii) upon your termination for any reason other than death, Retirement, termination by the Company due to Disability or for Cause, the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date and (B) ninety (90) days after your termination of employment; (iii) upon your Retirement, the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date and (B) the third (3rd) anniversary of your termination of employment; (iv) upon your death or termination by the Company due to Disability, the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date and (B) the third (3rd) anniversary of your termination of employment and, prior the expiration of the Award pursuant to this clause (iv), the Award may be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal representative, guardian or similar person; and (v) immediately upon your termination of employment for Cause (as defined above), regardless of whether any portion of the Award is vested or exercisable.

    5.    Non-Transferability of Award.

    7.    Tax Withholding. As a condition precedent to the issuance of Shares following the exercise of the Award, you shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company determines is required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to be withheld and paid over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to such exercise of the Award. If you shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments shall be satisfied by the Company withholding whole Shares that would otherwise be delivered to you upon exercise of the Award having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments; however, if you submit a written request to the Company at least ten (10) days in advance of the applicable exercise date, the Company may agree, in its discretion, to permit you to satisfy your obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by a check or cash payment to the Company. Shares shall be withheld based on the applicable statutory tax rate; however, if you submit a written request to the Company at least ten (10) days in advance of the applicable exercise date, the Company (or, in the case of an individual subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Committee) may agree, in its discretion, to withhold shares based on a higher tax rate permitted by applicable withholding rules. No Share or certificate representing a Share shall be issued or delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that you have engaged in misconduct

that constitutes “Cause” as defined in the Plan, you agree that any unvested portion of the Award shall be immediately forfeited as of the date the Company determines that you engaged in such misconduct. The foregoing shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies, which may also include injunctive relief and damages, as applicable. In addition, you agree that in the event the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that you owe the Company any amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed to the Company pursuant to the Company’s policies with respect to travel and business expenses, and if you have not satisfied such obligation, then the Company may instruct the plan administrator to withhold and/or sell Shares acquired by you upon settlement of the Award, or the Company may deduct funds equal to the amount of such obligation from other funds due to you from the Company.

    9.    Adjustments. The Award and the number of Shares subject to this Award will automatically be adjusted in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan to prevent accretion, or to protect against dilution, in the event of a change to the Shares resulting from a recapitalization, stock split, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or other similar transactions.

    10.    Issuance or Delivery of Shares. Upon the exercise of the Award, in whole or in part, the Company shall issue or deliver, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the number of Shares purchased against full payment therefor.
