(as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or “subsidiary corporation” (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares subject thereto, all outstanding Restricted
Shares that you hold shall automatically vest as of immediately prior to such Change of Control. 
 SECTION 4. Forfeiture of Restricted
Shares. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b) of this Award Agreement or in your Employment Agreement, if your rights with respect to any Restricted Shares awarded to you pursuant to
this Award Agreement have not become vested prior to the date on which your employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, your rights with respect to such Restricted Shares shall immediately terminate, and you will be entitled to no
further payments or benefits with respect thereto.

rights with respect to a Restricted Share have become vested, you shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to such Restricted Share and shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with respect thereto.

of Section 409A) payable under this Award Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the

responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on you or for your account in connection with this Award Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor
any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
