Committee, the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (as such term is defined
in the Plan), or (ii) the date Colleague’s employment with the Company is
terminated by reason of death, Total Disability or Retirement. In the event
Colleague’s employment is terminated for any other reason, including retirement
prior to age sixty-five with the approval of the Company or employing
subsidiary, the Committee or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the
Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the lapse of Forfeiture
Restrictions as to any or all Restricted Shares still subject to such
restrictions, such lapse to be effective on the date of such approval or
Colleague’s termination date, if later.

Rights. Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by memorandum entries

rights and shall be entitled to receive all dividends unless and until the
Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
Upon request of the Committee or its delegate, Colleague shall deliver to the
Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares
then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. 
Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions, the Company shall cause a
certificate or certificates to be issued without legend in the name of
Colleague, or such other name as provided in the Plan, for the shares upon
which Forfeiture Restrictions lapsed. 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the issuance or
delivery of any


 


2

















 


shares of Stock (whether
subject to restrictions or unrestricted) may be postponed for such period as may
be required to comply with applicable requirements of any national securities
exchange or any requirements under any law or regulation applicable to the
issuance or delivery of such shares.  The
Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Stock if the
issuance or delivery thereof shall constitute a violation of any provision of
any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or any national
securities exchange.


 


3.                                      Withholding
of Tax.  The receipt of Restricted
Shares or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions may result in income to you
for federal or state tax purposes.  To
the extent that you become subject to taxation, you shall deliver to the
Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount
of money or shares of unrestricted Stock, as the Company may require to meet
its withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations.  If you fail to do so, the Company is
authorized to withhold from any cash or stock remuneration then or thereafter
payable to you any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting
compensation income.  Your delivery of
Shares to meet the tax withholding obligation is subject to the Company’s
Securities Trading Policy as may be in effect from time to time.  You must have owned any Stock you deliver for
at least six months.   Any stock you
deliver or which is withheld by the Company will be valued on the date of which
the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. 
Any fractional shares of stock resulting from withholding of taxes will
be paid to you in cash.


 


4.                                      Status
of Stock.  Colleague agrees that the
Restricted Shares to which the restrictions have lapsed will not be sold or
otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any
applicable federal or state securities laws. 
Colleague also agrees (i) that the certificates representing the Shares
may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to
assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Company may
refuse to register the transfer of the Shares on the stock transfer records of
the Company if such proposed transfer would be in the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities
law and (iii) that the Company may give related instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.


 


5.                                      Limitation on Transfer.  Other
than upon death or pursuant to a DRO, the Restricted Shares and all rights
granted under this Agreement are personal to Colleague and cannot be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation
of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to execution, attachment or

to discharge Colleague, any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without
