Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the shares of Restricted Stock that is in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the shares of Restricted Stock.

3. Lapse of Restrictions.
(a) The shares of Restricted Stock shall become non-restricted and non-forfeitable to the extent of % of the shares of Restricted Stock on each anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless earlier forfeited in accordance with Section 5 (the Vesting Period).
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) above, if the Grantees employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates as a result of the Grantees death or Disability (as defined below), then all shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become non-restricted and non-forfeitable.

4. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock.
(a) Any of the shares of Restricted Stock that remain forfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases for any reason to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time prior to the Restricted Stock becoming non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof, unless the Board determines to provide otherwise at the time of the cessation of Grantees employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Grantees employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of (1) the transfer of Grantees employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries, (2) an approved leave of absence of not more than 90 days, or (3) the period of any leave of absence required to be granted by the Company under any law, rule, regulation or contract applicable to Grantees employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
5. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that any dividend or other distribution, including any additional Common Shares that Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a share dividend or other securities as a result of a merger or reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation or any other change in the capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock and otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
