The Company may, in its discretion, hold such Restricted Shares in escrow until vesting occurs.

4. Lapse of Vesting Restrictions. As vesting restrictions lapse, the Company shall cause certificates for Shares to be issued and delivered to you, with such legends and restrictions that the Committee determines to be appropriate.

(3) Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Participant recognizes that by virtue of his or her employment with the Company he or she will be introduced to and involved in the solicitation and servicing of existing customers of the Company and new customers obtained by the Company during his or her employment. The Participant understands and agrees that all efforts expended in soliciting and servicing such customers shall be for the permanent benefit of the Company. The Participant further agrees that during his or her employment with the Company the Participant will not engage in any conduct which could in any way jeopardize or disturb any of the Company’s customer relationships.

(5) Survival of Commitments; Potential Recapture of Award and Proceeds. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Section 6 regarding confidentiality and non-solicitation shall survive both (i) the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason, and (ii) the termination of the Plan, for any reason. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of Restricted Shares in this Award Agreement is just and adequate consideration for the survival of the restrictions set forth herein, and that the Company may pursue any or all of the following remedies if the Participant either violates the terms of this Section or succeeds for any reason in invalidating any part of it (it being understood that the invalidity of any term hereof would result in a failure of consideration for the Award):

The remedies provided above are not intended to be exclusive, and the Company may seek such other remedies as are provided by law, including equitable relief.
