Section
      2.7  Special
      Circumstances .




(a)  *Merger
      and Consolidation* . In
      the
      event of a Change in Control, the unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall
      be
      assumed by the acquiring company and converted into restricted stock of the
      acquiring company (or parent company) in a manner designed to preserve the
      economic value of the Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Change in
      Control and in a manner consistent with the treatment of other shareholders;
      provided that if the consideration received in the Change in Control is in
      the
      form of cash, the acquiring company (or the acquirer’s parent company, as
      applicable) may either assume such unvested shares of Restricted Stock as
      provided above or may pay the Holder an amount in cash on each applicable
      Vesting Date for such shares as if the Restricted Stock was assumed as provided
      above based upon the fair market value of the acquiring company’s (or its
      parent’s, as applicable) capital stock on each of the applicable Vesting Dates.




For
      the
      purposes hereof, "fair market value" shall be either:




(i)
            the
                average of the high and low or closing bid and asked prices of the
                acquiring company’s (or its parent’s) capital stock on each Vesting Date
                if such stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange,
                the
                NASDAQ Stock Market or is traded on the over-the-counter bulletin
                board;
                or




(ii)
            if
                the acquiring company’s (or its parent’s) capital stock is not publicly
                traded, then as determined by an independent valuation company mutually
                acceptable to the Holder and the acquirer.




(b)  *Adjustments* .  In
      the
      event of a Change in Control or any other corporate event or transaction that
      does not constitute a Change in Control (including, but not limited to, a change
      in the shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company) such as
      a
      merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock
      dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other
      distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of shares,
      exchange of shares, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure
      or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the
      Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee in order
      to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Holder’s rights, shall substitute or
      adjust, as applicable, the number and kind of shares that may be issued under
      this Agreement.




(c)  *Investment
      Undertaking* **.** The
      Holder hereby represents and warrants that he will hold the Restricted Stock
      and
      the rights constituent thereto for investment and without any present intention
      of distribution or sale.

      (b)
      delivery to the Company of an amount in cash or Common Stock of the Company
      with
      a fair market value equal to the amount of such tax obligation.




Section
      2.9  Voting
      Rights .

      is
      to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit.
      Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Holder, shall
      be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed
      by the Holder in writing with the Company during the Holder's lifetime. In
      the
      absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Holder's
      death
      shall be paid to the Holder's estate.




Section
      2.11  Dividend
      Equivalents .




The
      Holder may be granted dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared
      on
      shares of Common Stock of the Company that are subject to this award of
      Restricted Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period
      between the Grant Date and each Vesting Date as determined by the Committee.
      Such dividend equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of
      Common Stock of the Company by such formula and at such time and subject to
      such
      limitations as may be determined by the Committee in good faith.
