(each such date is hereinafter referred to as a “Vesting Date”), provided that there has not been a Termination of Employment of Grantee before the relevant Vesting Date. In addition, if there has not been a Termination of Employment of Grantee, all restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall lapse as of the earliest to occur of:

 

  (a) the date of Grantee’s death;

 

  (b) the date of Grantee’s Termination of Employment as a result of Disability;

 

  (c) the date of Grantee’s involuntary Termination of Employment with the Company and all affiliates other than for Cause or the Grantee’s voluntary Termination of Employment with the Company and all affiliates with Good Reason, provided, however, that Grantee executes an Agreement, Waiver and General Release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, in connection with such Termination of Employment, in which case the Restricted Stock shall vest on the date as of which such agreement shall have become effective; or


  (d) the date of a Change of Control of the Company.

Upon lapse of all restrictions, Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be free of all restrictions hereunder and shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3. Forfeiture. Any shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be forfeited upon the Grantee’s Termination of Employment other than as a result of death, Disability, involuntary termination other than for Cause, or voluntary termination with Good Reason.

4. Treatment of Distributions. Any distribution paid on the Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until the relevant restrictions lapse, and (ii) retained by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such lapse. There shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred distributions, together with interest thereon, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, and any distributions deferred (together with any interest thereon) in respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock. Until the payment of the deferred distributions and the accrued interest thereon, the Company’s obligation to pay these amounts shall be an unfunded and unsecured obligation, and Grantee’s rights to these amounts will be the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

6. Adjustment. In the event that any distribution, capital contribution, split-up, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reclassification, split or combination of Stock, or other similar transaction or event affects such Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of the number, kind, or other terms of the Restricted Stock.

7. No Right to Employment. Nothing contained in this Restricted Stock agreement shall confer upon any Grantee any right to the continuation of his employment, agency, or other relationship with the Company or any affiliate or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate, subject to the terms of any separate employment or other agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or agreement or to increase or decrease the compensation of the individual from the rate in effect at the time of the grant of Restricted Stock.

8. Withholding. Whenever the restrictions lapse on the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to require the recipient to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any such stock. In the Committee’s sole discretion and in


the manner and amount determined by the Committee, the recipient may elect to satisfy any withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock (that would otherwise be issued or transferred to such person) with a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld.

9. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan, and cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional shares granted under the Plan.
