In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Service due to his or her death, Retirement, or Disability, one hundred percent (100%) of any unvested Shares awarded by this Agreement shall immediately vest. The Shares which so vest shall be deemed to have vested as of the date of the Termination of Service.

5. Acceleration of Vesting upon Change of Control. Subject to the terms of the Plan, in the event a Change of Control that occurs prior to Employee’s Termination of Service, one hundred percent (100%) of any unvested Shares awarded by this Agreement shall immediately vest.

6. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock at any time. If so accelerated, such Shares shall be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee.

7. Forfeiture. Except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5, and notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock which have not vested at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service shall thereupon be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company. The Employee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with full power of substitution, as the Employee’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of the Employee to take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates evidencing such unvested Shares to the Company upon such Termination of Service.

8. Death of Employee.

Except as provided in paragraph 12, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
