(b)    The Installments shall vest in whole increments only.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Restricted Period for all the RSUs shall cease immediately and the RSUs shall become fully vested immediately upon a Change in Control that occurs on or before the Participant’s Termination of Service.

(d)    If the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the expiration of one or more Restricted Periods, the Participant shall forfeit all rights, title and interest in and to any Installment(s) still subject to a Restricted Period as of such Termination of Service.

Section 4.    Settlement of RSUs. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a)    Delivery of Shares. The Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of Stock free and clear of any restrictions in settlement of each of the vested and unrestricted RSUs within 30 days following the end of the respective Restricted Period.

(b)    Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other term of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws and the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(c)    Certificates.  To the extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of shares of Stock, such issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

Section 5.    Withholding.  All deliveries of shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. The Company shall have the right to require the Participant (or if applicable, permitted assigns, heirs and Designated Beneficiaries) to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax requirements prior to the delivery date of any shares in connection with the Award.  Except as may be provided otherwise by the Committee, such withholding obligations may be satisfied (a) through cash payment by the Participant, (b) through the surrender of shares of Stock that the Participant already owns or (c) through the surrender of shares of Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that except as otherwise specifically provided by the Committee, such shares under clause (c) may not be used to satisfy more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Award shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Participant in any way whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge,

hypothecation or other disposition of the Award contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Award, shall be null and void and without effect.

Section 7.    Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall be entitled to receive a payment of additional RSUs equal in value to any dividends and distributions paid with respect to the RSUs (other than dividends and distributions that may be issued with respect to shares by virtue of any corporate transaction, to the extent covered in Section 3.4 of the Plan) during the Restricted Period (“Dividend Equivalents”); provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant with respect to record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited the RSUs. Dividend Equivalents shall be provided at the time the respective dividends or distributions are paid and shall be subject to the same restrictions applicable to the underlying RSUs.

Section 8.    No Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the RSUs, including but not limited to, voting rights, prior to the settlement of the RSUs pursuant to Section 4(a) above and issuance of a stock certificate or its equivalent as provided herein.

Section 9.    Heirs and Successors.  This Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business.

Section 15.    Validity. If any provision of this Award Agreement is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

Section 16.    Section 409A Amendment. The Award is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A and this Award Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with such intent. The Committee reserves the right (including, but not limited to, the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant in order to maintain an exclusion from the application of, or to maintain compliance with, Code Section 409A; and the Participant hereby acknowledges and consents to such rights of the Committee.
