Other than as permitted under Paragraph 11, no right or benefit under this Agreement, including but not limited to Phantom Shares and Cash Awards shall (i) be subject to transfer, anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to transfer, anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, or (ii) in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If the Participant shall become bankrupt or attempt to transfer, anticipate, alienate, assign, sell, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, or if any creditor shall attempt to subject the same to a writ of garnishment, attachment, execution, sequestration, or any other form of process or involuntary lien or seizure, then any and all rights and benefits under this Agreement shall cease and terminate. Transfer of Common Stock or payment of cash in settlement of a vested Phantom Share or portion of a Cash Award shall be made only to the Participant during his or her lifetime, to his or her estate if the Participant is deceased, or if the Participant is mentally incapacitated, to the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

In the case of the Participant’s death, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Participant under the Participant’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution shall succeed to such rights. 
8.Prerequisites to Benefits.  Neither the Participant, nor any person claiming through the Participant, shall have any right or interest in the Phantom Shares or the Cash Awards awarded hereunder, unless and until all the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan which affect the Participant or such other person, including but not limited to the vesting requirements, shall have been complied with as specified herein.
9.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Participant may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted herein.
10.Securities Act.  The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.  The Committee may require that the Participant, prior to the issuance of any such shares of Common Stock, sign and deliver to the Company a written statement, which shall be in a form and contain content acceptable to the Committee, in its sole discretion (“Investment Letter”):
		
	(a)
	stating that the Participant is acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof; 


		
	(b)
	stating that the Participant will not sell any shares of Common Stock that the Participant may then own or thereafter acquire except either:

	(ii)
	with the prior written approval of the Company; and 


		
	(c)
	containing such other terms and conditions as counsel for the Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations.  


11.Tax Withholding.
		
	(a)
	Any vested shares of Common Stock and cash or other property payable or deliverable to the Participant hereunder shall be subject to the payment of, or shall be reduced by, any amount or amounts which the Company is required to withhold under the then-applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or its successors, or any other federal, state or local tax withholding requirement.  When the Company is required to withhold any amount or amounts under the applicable provisions of the Code, the Company shall withhold from the vested shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock, or from any cash or other property payable or deliverable to hereunder, necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be withheld shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of withholding.  


		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding Paragraph 11(a), above, if the Participant elects, and the Committee agrees, the Company’s withholding obligations may instead be satisfied as follows:


		
	(i)
	the Participant may deliver to the Company a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Participant to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations, based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock as of the date of withholding; or


		
	(ii)
	the Participant may deliver sufficient cash to the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations.


		
	(c)
	Authorization of the Participant to the Company to withhold taxes pursuant to one of the alternatives described in Paragraph 11(b), above, must be in a form and content acceptable to the Committee.  The payment or authorization to withhold taxes by the Participant shall be completed prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock or cash pursuant to this Agreement.  An authorization to withhold taxes pursuant to this provision will be irrevocable unless and until the tax liability of the Participant has been fully paid.


12.Authority of Committee.  Notwithstanding provisions of the Plan to the contrary:
		
	(a)
	For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the “Committee” shall mean only those members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company who are Outside Directors or a properly constituted and authorized sub-committee of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprised solely of two (2) or more Outside Directors.

5








of the Company or any other person or group of persons other than in accordance with Paragraph 12(a), above.
		
	(c)
	Without limiting the foregoing and unless the Phantom Shares and Cash Award have been forfeited earlier, the Committee shall certify in writing as promptly as practicable after the close of the Performance Period, whether, and the extent to which, the applicable requirements of Paragraphs 2(a) and 3(b) have been met and the number of vested Phantom Shares, if any, and the amount of the vested Cash Award, if any, resulting therefrom.


		
	(d)
	Except for adjustments to change the number of Phantom Shares and to reflect such changes as permitted under the Plan in connection with a Common Stock distribution or split, recapitalization, extraordinary distribution, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock or similar change or upon the occurrence of any other event that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, this Agreement may not be amended to change the performance thresholds below which no Phantom Shares or amounts under the Cash Award will vest, the performance levels at which specified numbers of Phantom Shares or amounts under the Cash Award will vest or the number of Phantom Shares or the amount under the Cash Award that will vest at each such level, the manner in which vesting is determined or the manner in which performance is measured for the purposes of determining vesting.  


13.No Guarantee of Tax Consequences.  The Participant shall be solely responsible for and liable for any and all tax consequences (including but not limited to any interest or penalties) as a result of participation in the Plan.  Neither the Board, nor the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local or foreign tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder and assumes no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to the Participants.
14.Clawback Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any compensation paid to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement that is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement). 
15.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
