Except for the designation of your beneficiary in the event of your death, the purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance of the Award shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. This provision shall not prevent you from transferring the shares of Common Stock issued hereunder after the expiration of the Restricted Period.
5. No Obligation of Employment. This Restricted Stock Award shall not impose any obligation on the Company to continue your employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
6. Provisions of the Plan Control. This Restricted Stock Award is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Plan under which it is granted, a copy of which you may request from the Company.

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.
