right to give instructions with respect to shares held in book entry form)
for the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends, you shall be entitled to
receive any dividends that may be paid in cash on, and to vote, the
Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends held by the Corporation (or

inheritance) the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends then
held by the Corporation (or subject to its instructions).
	 
	5.	 	FORFEITURE OF UNEARNED RESTRICTED SHARES
