Company will withhold shares in accordance with (ii).The Company will not deliver any fractional Vested Shares but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Vested Shares.  Participant’s election under this Section 9 must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax or other contribution to be withheld is determined.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that should the shares of Common Stock withheld for income tax and social insurance contributions purposes be in excess of the amounts required to be withheld under applicable law, the Company shall refund the excess to Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable.  Any adverse consequences to Participant resulting from the procedure permitted under this Section 9, including, without limitation, income tax and social insurance contributions consequences, shall be the sole responsibility of Participant.

10.           Participant’s Employment.  This Award Document, the Award Confirmation and the Plan are not an employment contract.  Nothing contained in this Award Document, the Award Confirmation or the Plan shall confer on Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company or affect in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate to terminate the employment of Participant at any time.  No Restricted Stock Unit, compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by Participant under the Plan or this Award Document shall be included for the purpose of computing Participant’s compensation under any incentive compensation plan or any compensation-based retirement, disability or similar plan of the Company unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

11.           No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor this Award Document shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and Participant or any other person.  To the extent that any Participant acquires a right to receive Shares or payments from the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
