 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, in the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Vesting Date with respect to any of the Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock (i) for any reason other than due to death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), all such shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited on the date of such termination without payment of any consideration therefor; and (ii) due to death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), all such shares of Restricted Stock shall cease to be subject to the Transfer Restrictions and cease to be forfeitable on an 

 

	
             
 	
             
 	
             
 

 

applicable Vesting Date occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of such termination as if the Participant had remained employed until such first anniversary and any shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the Vesting Date has not occurred on or prior to such first anniversary shall be forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a Participant’s voluntary termination of employment (with the approval of the Board of Directors) at or after age 62.  The Committee shall determine whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.

If the Participant fails to comply with such Transfer Restrictions during the Holding Period, any Awards held by the Participant which are then subject to forfeiture shall be forfeited and the Committee may, in its discretion, take such action as it deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, determining not to make any additional grants of Awards to the Participant under the Plan.  

 

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all shares subject to an Award shall immediately cease to be subject to the Transfer Restrictions and cease to be forfeitable upon a Change in Control. 

 

5.  Share Certificates.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the shares representing the Restricted Stock will be held in the Participant’s name in book-entry format by the Company’s transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC.  Upon vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock on a Vesting Date, the Participant has the right to choose to have a certificate issued in the Participant’s name, to have the shares transferred to a brokerage account of the Participant’s choice or to continue to hold the shares in book-entry format with the transfer agent.

relate  and shall be held by the Company or subject to a legend as determined by the Committee to effectuate the purposes of the Plan.   

 

7.  Non-Assignability.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan or herein, Awards shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, and any purported assignment, transfer, pledge or encumbrance shall be null and void; provided, that Awards may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution subject to the Committee’s receipt of such documents as may be requested by the Committee from time.

 

8. Modification and Waiver.  Except as provided in the Plan with respect to determinations of the Committee and subject to the Company's Board of Directors' right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof can be changed, modified, amended, discharged, terminated or waived orally or by any course of dealing or purported course of dealing, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the Participant and the Company.  No such agreement shall extend to or affect any provision of this Agreement not expressly changed, modified, amended, discharged, terminated or waived or impair any right consequent on such a provision.
