			Additional Terms and Conditions of Award.  




			
	
			
				 5.1
			

			
	
			
			Nontransferability of Award.  During the Restriction Period, the restricted stock units subject to the Award and not then vested may not be transferred by the Employee other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Plan on a beneficiary designation form approved by the Company.  Except as permitted by the foregoing, during the Restriction Period, the restricted stock units subject to the Award and not then vested may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other disposition of such restricted stock units shall be null and void.




			
	
			
				 5.2
			

			
	
			
			Withholding Taxes.  (a)  As a condition precedent to the delivery to the Employee of any of the Shares subject to the Award, the Employee shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company (or shall cause a broker-dealer on behalf of the Employee to pay to the Company) such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award.  If the Employee shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Employee.

			(b)Under the terms of this Agreement, the Employee’s obligations to pay the Required Tax Payments shall be satisfied by the Company withholding whole Shares which would otherwise be issued or transferred to the Employee having an aggregate Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments; provided,  however, the Employee may notify the Company prior to the Tax Date that the Employee has elected, in lieu of the Company withholding Shares, to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by (i) a check or cash payment to the Company, (ii) delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole Shares having an aggregate Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (iii) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, a cash payment by a broker whom the Company has selected for this purpose and to whom the Employee has authorized to sell any shares acquired upon the vesting of the Award to meet the Required Tax Payments, or (iv) any combination of share withholding and (i), (ii) and (iii).  Shares to be delivered to the Company or withheld may not have a Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments (or such greater withholding amount to the extent permitted by applicable withholding rules and accounting rules without resulting in variable accounting treatment).  Any fraction of a share which would be required to satisfy any such obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Employee.      
		

			
	
			
				 5.3
			

			
	
			
			Compliance with Applicable Law.  The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting of the restricted stock units or the delivery of the Shares hereunder, the Shares subject to the Award may not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.  The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

				 5.4
			

			
	
			
			Issuance of Shares.  Subject to Sections 5.2,  5.3 and 5.8, within 60 days after the vesting (or, if later, the settlement date set forth in Section 2) of the Award, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in the Employee’s name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Employee) the vested Shares.  Such issuance shall be evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company (or, alternatively at the discretion of the Company, a certificate or certificates may be registered in the Employee’s name).  The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2.




			
	
			
				 5.5
			

			
	
			
			Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment.  In no event shall the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Employee give or be deemed to give the Employee any right to continued employment by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.




			
	
			
				 5.6
			

			
	
			
			Decisions of Board or Committee.  The Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award.  Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Board of Directors or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.




			
	
			
				 5.7
			

			
	
			
			Company to Reserve Shares.  The Company shall at all times prior to the cancellation of the Award reserve and keep available, either in its treasury or out of it authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock equal to the full number of unvested restricted stock units subject to the Award from time to time.

			Agreement Subject to the Plan; Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan (including the adjustment provision set forth in Section 7(b) thereof) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.  The Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement to the extent it determines in its sole discretion such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including but not limited to Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.     To the extent this Agreement provides for the Award to become vested and be settled upon the Employee’s termination of employment, the applicable Shares shall be transferred to the Employee or his or her beneficiary upon the Employee’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; provided that if the Employee is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent the Award constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such Shares shall be transferred to the Employee or his or her beneficiary upon the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of such separation from service and (b) the date of the Employee’s death.
