RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD


 


	
1.

	
Issuance of Restricted Shares. 






 


(a)            The Company shall issue the Restricted Shares as of the Grant Date by the issuance of share certificate(s) evidencing Restricted Shares to the Secretary of the Company or such other agent of the Company as may be designated by the Committee (the “Share Custodian”). Evidence of the Restricted Shares in the form of share certificate(s) shall be held by the Company or Share Custodian, as applicable, until the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. 


 


(b)            When the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares, the Company or the Share Custodian, as the case may be, shall deliver the Vested Shares by physical delivery of the share certificate(s) to a broker designated by the Company (the “Designated Broker”) for the benefit of an account established in the name of the Recipient. If the number of Vested Shares includes a fraction of a share, neither the Company nor the Share Custodian shall be required to deliver the fractional share to the Recipient, and the Company shall pay the Recipient the amount determined by the Company to be the estimated fair market value therefor. At any time after receipt by the Designated Broker, the Recipient may require that the Designated Broker deliver the Vested Shares to the Recipient
pursuant to such arrangements or agreements as may exist between the Designated Broker and the Recipient.


 


(c)            In the event that the Recipient forfeits any of the Restricted Shares, the Company shall cancel the issuance on its stock records and the Share Custodian shall promptly deliver the share certificate(s) representing the forfeited shares to the Company.


 


(d)            Recipient hereby irrevocably appoints the Share Custodian, and any successor thereto, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Recipient with full power and authority to execute any stock transfer power or other instrument necessary to transfer any Restricted Shares to the Company in accordance with this Award, in the name, place, and stead of the Recipient. The term of such appointment shall commence on the Grant Date of this Award and shall continue until the last of the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Recipient as Vested Shares or are returned to the Company as forfeited Restricted Shares. 


 


(e)            Until the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares, the Recipient shall be entitled to all rights applicable to holders of shares of Common Stock including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends or other distributions thereon as provided by Section 2, except as expressly provided in this Award. 


 


(f)             In the event the number of shares of Common Stock is increased or reduced as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock or the 


 


2


 








 


payment of a stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock or other transaction such as a merger, reorganization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, the Recipient agrees that any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued as a result of any of the foregoing shall be delivered to the Share Custodian and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Award as if initially granted hereunder.


 


2.                 Dividends. The Recipient shall be entitled to dividends or other distributions paid or made on all Restricted Shares as and when declared and paid or made. 


 


	
3.

	
Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares.






 


(a)            General Restrictions. Except as provided by this Award, the Recipient shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in or to any Restricted Shares. Any such disposition not made in accordance with this Award shall be deemed null and void. The Company will not recognize, or have the duty to recognize, any disposition not made in accordance with the Plan and this Award, and any Restricted Shares so transferred will continue to be bound by the Plan and this Award. The Recipient (and any subsequent holder of Restricted Shares) may not sell, pledge or otherwise directly or
indirectly transfer (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) any interest in or any beneficial interest in any Restricted Shares except pursuant to the provisions of this Award. Any sale, pledge or other transfer (or any attempt to effect the same) of any Restricted Shares in violation of any provision of the Plan or this Award shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition on its books or treat any purported transferee or pledgee of such Restricted Shares as the owner or pledgee of such Restricted Shares for any purpose.


 


(b)            Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this Section 3 will not apply with respect to transfers of the Restricted Shares pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided that the restrictions contained in this Section 3 will continue to be applicable to the Restricted Shares after any such transfer; and provided further that the transferee(s) of such Restricted Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and this Award.

in connection with such transfer.


 


	
5.

	
Change in Capitalization.






 


(a)               The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment. All adjustments made by the Committee under this Section shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

(c)               The existence of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Award shall not affect the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.
