which constitutes Good Reason; provided, further, that “Good Reason” shall cease to exist for an event on the sixtieth (60th) day following the later of its occurrence or Participant’s knowledge thereof, unless Participant has given the Company written notice thereof prior to such date.

7. Rights as Stockholder; Legend; Dividends.  The provisions of Sections 9(b) and 9(e) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof; provided that any cash or in-kind dividends paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock which have not, prior to the record date of the dividend, become vested shall be withheld by the Company without interest and shall be paid to the Participant only when, and if, such shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested pursuant to the Grant Notice and Section 2 of this Restricted Stock Agreement.  

8. Tax Withholding.  The provisions of Section 14(d)(i) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Every notice or other communication relating to this Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and the Participant shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by such party in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by the Participant to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, to the attention of the Company General Counsel, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Participant may be given to the Participant personally or may be mailed to the Participant at the Participant’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records.
