It may also permit, in its sole discretion, an acceleration of the Restricted Period with respect to any part or all of the Shares. |
| 3. | Termination of Employment and Forfeiture of Shares: |
| (a) | If the employment of Employee with the Corporation shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Restricted period for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) disability, or (iii) retirement from the Corporation (as defined in the Plan) the Shares shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Officer Severance Agreement entered into between the Employee and the Corporation. |

| 6. | Miscellaneous: |
| (a) | Neither the Award of Shares to the Employee, this Agreement, or the Plan itself create any right to the Employee to receive any additional Award(s) of Shares, or any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Corporation, nor shall any of the foregoing be deemed to interfere in any way with the Corporation’s right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time. |
