Exhibit 10.29

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 14th day of June, 2018, by and among ORIGIN BANK, a Louisiana state bank (the “Bank”), ORIGIN BANCORP, INC., a Louisiana corporation and registered bank holding company for the Bank (“Origin”), and Jimmy R. Crotwell (“Executive”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Executive is employed by the Bank as Chief Credit & Deputy Chief Risk Officer, Executive Vice President, Monroe;
WHEREAS, the Bank and Origin desire to attract and retain well-qualified executives and key personnel and to incentivize such personnel to remain in the employ of the Bank; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and Origin recognize that Executive is a valuable resource and desire to ensure Executive’s employment, continued loyalty and services and, in the event Executive is terminated or Executive’s position with the Bank or Origin is adversely changed in connection with a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined), to ensure Executive of adequate severance.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.Eligibility.
Executive will be eligible for the benefits described in Section 3 of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:
(a)Executive is employed by the Bank or Origin on the Effective Date of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 6(d)) in the same position, or in a position having comparable duties and authority, as on the date of the execution of this Agreement and, within the two-year period beginning on the Effective Date of a Change in Control, Executive experiences a Termination of Service (as defined in Section 6(g)) by the Bank or Origin other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6(a));
(b)Executive is employed by the Bank or Origin on the Effective Date of a Change in Control in the same position, or in a position having comparable duties and authority, as on the date of the execution of this Agreement and, within the two-year period beginning on the Effective Date of a Change in Control, Executive experiences a Termination of Service by Executive for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(d)); or
(c)Within the Pre-Change in Control Period (as defined in Section 6(f)), Executive experiences a Termination of Service by the Bank or Origin other than for Cause, or a Termination of Service by Executive for Good Reason, if it is demonstrated by Executive that such termination or event giving rise to Good Reason was at the request of a third party who took steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or otherwise arose in anticipation of a Change in Control.  
If Executive is transferred to a position that does not have comparable duties or authority during the Pre-Change in Control Period but does not experience a Termination of Service prior to the Effective Date of a Change in Control then for all purposes of this Agreement, Executive will be deemed to be employed on the applicable Effective Date of a Change in Control in the same or a comparable position as on the date of execution of this Agreement.
2.Effective Date and Term.
This Agreement will have a term of three years, commencing on the date of this Agreement; provided however, that at the end of the initial term of this Agreement and each renewal term thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one year terms unless not later than 90 days 
1

preceding the upcoming renewal date, either party notifies the other, in writing, of the termination of this Agreement at the end of the current term.  Notwithstanding the preceding, this Agreement will earlier terminate, automatically, upon Executive’s Termination of Service prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof.  In such event, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
3.Severance Benefit.
(a)Upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c), the Bank and/or Origin will pay to Executive, and Executive will receive a severance benefit, consisting of the following: (i) a lump sum cash payment of one time Executive’s then-current annual base salary, (ii) a lump sum cash payment of one time the average of the incentive bonus paid within the three calendar years (or such fewer full calendar years as Executive has been employed by the Bank and/or Origin) immediately preceding the date of Executive’s Termination of Service and (iii) any stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock unit award, or other equity-type award under any plan or agreement in Executive has, or will have, in the capital stock in the Bank or Origin will become fully vested and exercisable (collectively, (i) through (iii) being the “Change in Control Severance Benefits”).  Notwithstanding the preceding, the Change in Control Severance Benefits will not become payable to Executive and neither the Bank or Origin will have any obligation for the payment of the Change in Control Severance Benefits to Executive if in connection with such termination or resignation Executive remains employed, or is simultaneously reemployed, by Origin or any affiliate thereof in a position having comparable duties, authority and compensation as Executive’s position with the Bank or Origin immediately preceding such Change in Control.
(b)The Change in Control Severance Benefits, if any, will be paid no later than the 30th day following the later of (i) Executive’s Termination of Service and (ii) the Effective Date of a Change in Control.  In no event will any payment be made under this Section 3 unless and until Executive incurs a Termination of Service.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, Origin or any other person would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then, the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement will be either (i) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Executive from the Bank, Origin and/or such person(s) will be $1.00 less than three times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Executive will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (ii) paid in full, whichever produces the better “net after-tax position” to Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes).  The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, will be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order.
4.Confidential and Proprietary Information.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all non-public information regarding the Bank, Origin and their respective customers and affiliates is confidential and the unauthorized disclosure of such information will result in irreparable harm to the Bank and/or Origin.  Executive will not, during Executive’s employment by the Bank, Origin or any affiliate thereof and until such time as such confidential information becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Executive or other person under a duty of confidentiality to the Bank, Origin or any affiliate thereof, disclose or permit the disclosure of any such confidential information to any person other than an employee of the Bank, Origin or an affiliate thereof, or to an individual engaged by the Bank, Origin or an affiliate thereof to render professional services thereto under circumstances that require such person to maintain the confidentiality of such information, except as such disclosure may be required by law.  The provisions of this Section 4 
2

will survive any termination of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 4, the term “confidential information” will not include information that was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Executive, or was or becomes available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Bank or Origin.
5.Non-solicitation.
Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment by the Bank or a successor following a Change in Control and for a period of one year thereafter (the “Restrictive Period”), Executive will not:
(a)Solicit, in order to divert from the Bank, Origin or any affiliate thereof (or any successor) any business by influencing or attempting to influence or soliciting or attempting to solicit any customers of the Bank, Origin or any affiliate (or any successor) or any particular customer with whom the Bank, Origin or any affiliates thereof (or any successor) had business contacts in the one-year period immediately preceding Executive’s termination or with whom Executive dealt at any time during Executive’s employment by the Bank, Origin or an affiliate thereof (or any successor); provided, that this restriction will not apply to any circumstance where any customer of the Bank, Origin, or any affiliate (or any successor) desires to do business or does business with Executive as a result of its own decision without solicitation from Executive.  The provisions of this Section 5(a) will apply in the parishes and counties listed in the Exhibit A to this Agreement, which is made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time.  Exhibit A may be amended from time to time by the Bank to include the parishes and counties in which the Bank is doing business, which amendment(s) will be presented to Executive in writing and will be become effective and binding on Executive if Executive remains employed by Bank on the third business day following the date on which notice of the amendment is duly given under this Agreement.
(b)Recruit, solicit, attempt to hire, or assist any other person to hire any employee of the Bank, Origin or any affiliate thereof (or any successor) or any person who was an employee of any of the foregoing in the six months immediately preceding Executive’s Termination of Service, or solicit or encourage any employee of any of the foregoing to terminate employment; provided, that this restriction will not apply to any circumstance where any employee of the Bank, Origin, or any affiliate (or any successor) desires to become employed or does become employed with Executive as a result of his or her own decision without solicitation from Executive.
(c)Assist any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by the foregoing.
The provisions of this Section 5 will survive any termination of this Agreement.
6.Definitions. 
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings given them in this Section 6.
(a)“Cause” means:
(i)The willful continued failure by Executive to substantially perform Executive’s duties after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive that specifically identifies the manner in which the Bank and Origin in good faith reasonably believe that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties, and Executive has failed to resume substantial performance of Executive’s duties on a continuous basis within 14 days of receiving such demand;
(ii)The willful engaging by Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Bank, Origin, and/or any affiliate thereof, monetarily or otherwise; or
3

(iii)Executive’s conviction of a felony or conviction of a misdemeanor which materially impairs Executive’s ability substantially to perform Executive’s duties.
For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part will be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank, Origin and/or any affiliate thereof.
(b)“Change in Control” means:
(i)The acquisition by any one person, or by more than one person acting as a group, of ownership of stock that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Bank or Origin, or any successor;
(ii)The acquisition by any one person, or by more than one person acting as a group, during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition, of ownership of stock possessing 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Bank or Origin;
(iii)The replacement during any 12-month period of a majority of the members of Origin’s Board of Directors by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors before the date of such appointment or election; or
(iv)The acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition, of assets of the Bank or Origin having a total gross fair market value of more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Bank or Origin immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.
The parties intend that the definition of Change in Control will be the same as a change of ownership of a corporation, a change in the effective control of a corporation and/or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), as modified by the substitution of the higher percentage requirement in clauses (b) and (d) above, and all questions or determinations in connection with any such Change in Control will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the provisions of such Treasury Regulations.  This definition of Change in Control will be applicable only for purposes of determining Executive’s rights under this Agreement and for no other purpose.
(c)“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(d)“Effective Date of a Change in Control” means the date on which the event or events constituting a Change in Control is consummated.
(e)“Good Reason” means any of the following occurring without Executive’s consent:
(i)A material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities;
(ii)A material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities or Executive’s supervisor;
(iii)A relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles;
(iv)A material diminution in the budget over which Executive retains authority;
(v)A material diminution in Executive’s annual base salary; or
4

(vi)Any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Bank or Origin of any agreement, including this Agreement, pursuant to which Executive performs services for the Bank or Origin.
Notwithstanding the preceding, none of these actions or conditions will constitute “Good Reason” unless (1) within 90 days from Executive first acquiring knowledge of the existence of the Good Reason condition, Executive provides the Bank and/or Origin written notice of his or her intention to terminate employment for Good Reason and the grounds for such termination; (2) such grounds for termination (if susceptible to correction) are not corrected by the Bank and/or Origin within 30 days of the receipt of such notice (or, in the event that such grounds cannot be corrected within the 30 day period, the Bank and/or Origin has not taken all reasonable steps within such 30-day period to correct such grounds as promptly as practicable thereafter); and (3) Executive terminates his or her employment with the Bank immediately following expiration of such 30-day period.  Any attempt by the Bank and/or Origin to correct a stated Good Reason will not be deemed an admission by the Bank and/or Origin that Executive's assertion of Good Reason is valid.
(f)“Pre-Change in Control Period” means the period commencing on the earlier of (i) the date of commencement of negotiations leading to the consummation of a Change in Control and (ii) six months prior to the Effective Date of a Change in Control.  
(g)“Termination of Service” means the termination of Executive’s employment with the Bank, Origin and all affiliates thereof for any reason, and which termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
7.Regulatory Restrictions.
The parties recognize that the enforceability of compensation agreements with banks are subject to some uncertainty and that banks and their bank holding companies are subject to regulatory restrictions that change from time to time.  As a result, Executive may be prevented from obtaining or enforcing any or all of Executive’s rights hereunder.  If the payment required to be made hereunder cannot be made because of such regulatory restrictions or other prohibitions of law, lawful regulations or binding order of a court, tribunal, or regulatory agency, then, (i) if and to the extent the prohibitions are applicable to the Bank, and not Origin, Origin will make the required payments; (ii) if and to the extent the prohibitions are applicable to Origin and not the Bank, the Bank will make the required payments; and (iii) if the prohibitions apply to both Origin and the Bank, the maximum amount possible of required payments not prohibited will be made by the Bank and/or Origin.  Nothing herein will require the Bank or Origin to perform any obligation hereunder if such performance is prohibited or limited by applicable law or regulation, as determined in a proceeding or adjudication by a court, tribunal, or regulatory agency having authority to so determine, which determination is final and subject to no further appeals.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of this Agreement that it be enforced to the fullest degree permitted by law and regulation.

(b)Any payment following a Termination of Service that would be subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code as a distribution following a Termination of Service of a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) will be made on the first to occur of (i) the first business day after the expiration of the six month period following the Termination of Service, (ii) death or (iii) such earlier date that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

ORIGIN BANCORP, INC.
2012 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
(as amended and restated effective January 1, 2017)

Incentive Agreement
for Performance Unit Award
(Performance-Based Vesting)
This Incentive Agreement for Performance Unit Award (the “Agreement”) is made this ________ day of _________, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”) by and between Origin Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and ___________________ (the “Grantee”) pursuant to the Origin Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2017 (the “Plan”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Grantee is employed by the Company in the position of [___________________]; and
WHEREAS, in order to incentivize Grantee to exert substantial efforts to maximize the success of the Company, the Board of Directors desires to grant an award to the Grantee under the Plan upon the conditions and terms contained within this Agreement (the “Award”). 
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Grantee agree as follows: 
ARTICLE I.
PERFORMANCE UNITS
1.1    Grant of Performance Units.  The Company hereby grants to Grantee a target number of ___________ Performance Units (the “Target Number of Performance Units), subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.  Each Performance Unit shall represent a right for the Grantee to receive one (1) share of Stock or cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as of the applicable Vesting Date.  The “Performance Period” shall mean the period during which the performance criteria and conditions described on Exhibit B (the “Performance Criteria”) will be measured.  The Performance Units shall remain unvested during the Performance Period.
1.2    Issue Price.  The Grantee shall not be required to pay any issue price to the Company in exchange for the Performance Units granted hereunder or, as applicable, upon the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder. 
1.3     Distributions and Voting Rights.  
(a)  All dividends and other distributions with respect to shares of Stock attributable to the Award that become payable during the Performance Period will accrue when declared and will be paid to the Grantee, in cash, only upon the settlement of the related Performance Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4 below.
(b)  The Grantee shall not be entitled to vote shares of Stock attributable to the Award prior to the date(s) on which the Grantee becomes a shareholder of record for such shares of Stock.
1.4    Settlement of Award.  
(a)    The Performance Units, to the extent vested, will be settled as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, but no later than the last day of the calendar year that includes the Vesting Date.  Upon settlement, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee shares of Stock equal to the number of vested Performance Units or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The date that the shares and/or cash are delivered shall be the “Settlement Date” of the vested Performance Units. No fractional Shares shall be issued to Grantee.
1

        

(b)    To the extent shares of Stock are issued in settlement of this Award, such shares shall be registered in the name of the Grantee and shall be held by Transfer Agent of the Company in an unrestricted shareholder account CTF1.  The Company shall direct the Transfer Agent to provide a shareholder statement to the Grantee evidencing outright ownership to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s beneficiary in the event of the Grantee’s death, designated as provided in Section 4.8).
1.5    Vesting.  Subject to Section 1.6 and achievement of the Performance Criteria during the Performance Period, the Performance Units granted under this Agreement will vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”).  The number of Performance Units (if any) eligible to vest will be determined based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Criteria during the Performance Period, which shall be certified by the Committee as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period. The number of Performance Units that may vest ranges from fifty percent (50%) to one hundred fifty percent (150%) (the “Applicable Percentage”) of the Target Number of Performance Units, depending on actual performance during the Performance Period.  In the event any Performance Units have not vested on the Vesting Date, the then-unvested Performance Units granted under this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited without consideration payable by the Company and the Grantee will have no further rights with respect thereto.
1.6    Forfeiture of Award.  In addition to events of forfeiture described in Article III, in the event of Grantee’s Termination of Employment prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, this Award shall be forfeited in its entirety.  Upon forfeiture, all rights of the Grantee and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be immediately terminated.    
ARTICLE II.
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
If the Company is not the surviving corporation following a Change in Control, and the surviving corporation following such Change in Control or the acquiring corporation (such surviving corporation or acquiring corporation is hereinafter referred to as the “Acquiror”) does not assume the outstanding Award granted hereunder or does not substitute equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Acquiror or its affiliates for such Performance Units, then the Award shall become immediately and fully vested on the date of such Change in Control with respect to 100% of the Target Number of Performance Units.  In addition, the Board of Directors or its designee may, in its sole discretion, provide for a cash payment to be made to the Grantee for the outstanding Award upon the consummation of the Change in Control, determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value that would be received in such Change in Control by the holders of the Company's securities relating to such shares of Stock. 
If the Company is the surviving corporation following a Change in Control, or the Acquiror assumes the outstanding Award granted hereunder or substitutes equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Acquiror or its affiliates for such Performance Units, then the Award or such substitutes therefor shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan, provided, however, that such Award shall, subject to Section 1.6 hereof, become immediately and fully vested on the Vesting Date with respect to 100% of the Target Number of Performance Units without regard to the performance of the Company or the Acquirer following the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant’s Performance Units are assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, the Target Number of Performance Units will become immediately 100% vested in the event of a termination without Cause within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control.
ARTICLE III.
GRANTEE’S COVENANTS 

3.1    Confidentiality.  The Grantee understands and acknowledges that (i) during the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, the Grantee will have access to Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates; (ii) such Confidential Information and the ability of the Company and its Affiliates to reserve such Confidential Information for their respective and exclusive knowledge and use is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company and its Affiliates; (iii) the Company has taken and will continue to take actions to protect the Confidential Information; and (iv) the provisions of this Section 
2

        

are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of such Confidential Information.    Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that during the term of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate thereof and, following the termination of such employment, until such time as the Confidential Information becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Grantee or other person under a duty of confidentiality to the Company thereof, the Grantee will not, except as required by law or legal process, in any capacity, use or disclose, or cause to be used or disclosed, any Confidential Information the Grantee acquired while employed by the Company or any Affiliate thereof.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, the identity of customers, personal customer data, strategic plans, sales data and sales strategy, methods, products, procedures, processes, techniques, financial information, vendor and supplier lists, pricing policies, personnel data and other confidential, business, competitive and proprietary information concerning or related to the Company and/or its Affiliates and their respective businesses, operations, financial conditions, results of operations, competitive position and prospects (collectively “Confidential Information”). The parties hereto agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the law of torts or trade secrets where it provides the Company with broader protection than that provided herein.

3.2    Return of Company Property.  The parties hereto acknowledge that any material (in computerized or written form) that the Grantee obtains in the course of performing the Grantee’s employment duties with the Company or any Affiliate are the sole and exclusive property of the Company, the Grantee agrees to immediately return any and all records, files, computerized data, documents, Confidential Information, or any other property owned or belonging to the Company in the Grantee’s possession or under the Grantee’s control, without any originals or copies being kept by the Grantee or conveyed to any other person, upon the Grantee’s separation from employment or upon the Company’s request.  

3.3    Non-Solicitation of Customers/Employees.  The Grantee agrees that during Grantee’s employment by the Company or any Affiliate thereof and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Grantee will not directly, or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any other person, entity or enterprise, do any of the following:
(i)Divert or attempt to divert from the Company or any Affiliate thereof any business by influencing or attempting to influence or soliciting or attempting to solicit any customers of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any particular customer with whom the Company or any Affiliate thereof had business contacts in the one-year period immediately preceding the Grantee’s termination or with whom the Grantee may have dealt at any time during the Grantee’s employment by the Company or an Affiliate thereof.  The provisions of this item (i) shall apply in the parishes and counties listed in the Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time. The parties agree that Exhibit A may be amended from time to time by the Company, which amendments shall be presented to the Grantee in writing and shall be deemed accepted by the Grantee if the Grantee remains employed by the Company on the third (3rd) business day following receipt of any such amendment.
(ii)Without the prior written consent of the Company, recruit, solicit, hire, attempt to hire, or assist any other person to hire any employee of the Company or an Affiliate thereof or any person who was an employee of the Company or any Affiliate during the six (6) months immediately preceding the Grantee’s Termination of Employment.
(iii)Otherwise assist any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by the foregoing. 
3.4    Remedies.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company determines that the Grantee has breached or threatened to breach any provision of this Article III, then, upon written notice of the Company and without consideration, any Performance Units whether or not vested shall be immediately forfeited, the shares and cash (including proceeds received upon a sale of the shares) issued to the Participant shall be subject to recoupment and any and all rights to receive any remaining benefits under this Agreement shall be immediately cancelled.  In addition, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief (without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or of posting any bond or other security): (i) restraining and enjoining any act which would constitute a breach, or (ii) compelling the performance of any obligation which, if not performed, would constitute a breach, as well as any other remedies available to the 
3

        

Company, including monetary damages.  Upon the Company’s request, the Grantee shall provide reasonable assurances and evidence of compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article III.  If any court of competent jurisdiction shall deem any provision in this Article III too restrictive, the other provisions shall stand, and the court shall modify the unduly restrictive provision to the point of greatest restriction permissible by law.  The restrictive covenants set forth in this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the forfeiture of the Award, and the Grantee’s Termination of Employment with the Company and all Affiliates for any reason, and the Grantee shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Article III as if this Agreement was still in effect.
ARTICLE IV.

(a)    The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, and, subject to limitations contained therein and, subject to shareholder approval if required, may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem advisable in order that any awards thereunder shall conform to any change in applicable laws or regulations or in any other respect the Board of Directors may deem to be in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, or termination shall adversely alter or impair the Award granted hereunder without the consent of the Grantee. 
(b)    The Committee may amend or modify the Award granted hereunder in any manner to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially to grant the Award as so modified or amended; however, no such amendment or modification shall adversely alter or impair the Award granted hereunder without the consent of the Grantee.  
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan and the Agreement may be amended without any additional consideration to the Grantee to the extent necessary to comply with, or avoid penalties under, Section 409A of the Code, even if those amendments reduce, restrict or eliminate rights granted prior to such amendments. 
4.3    No Right To Employment/Other Service.  None of the actions of the Company in establishing the Plan, the actions taken by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Committee under the Plan, or the granting of the Award pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed (a) to create any obligation on the part of the Company or any Affiliate or on the Board of Directors of the Company or such Affiliate to retain the Grantee as an employee, consultant, director or other service provider or to nominate Grantee for election to the Board of Directors, or (b) to be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the person has a right to continue as an employee, consultant, other service provider, or non-employee director for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

4.8    Beneficiary Designation.   The Grantee may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any vested portion of the Award that is unpaid at the Grantee’s death. Unless otherwise provided in the beneficiary designation, each designation will revoke all prior designations made by the Grantee, must be made in such manner as prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when received by the Committee (or its authorized delegate). If the Grantee has not made an effective beneficiary designation, the deceased Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s surviving spouse or, if none, the deceased Grantee’s estate.

No delivery of shares or cash shall be made unless and until appropriate arrangements for the payment of such taxes have been made.  With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event arising as a result of the Award granted hereunder, the Grantee may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.   Alternatively, the Grantee may elect for such taxes to be withheld from other compensation otherwise due to the Grantee from the Company and provided Grantee’s other compensation is sufficient to cover such taxes.  All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing and signed by the Grantee, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.  All such elections shall be made and filed with the Committee in the manner determined by the Committee on or before the Vesting Date, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Committee. If an election has not been made by the Grantee, or the amount of the taxes required to be withheld has not been remitted by the Grantee to the Company on or before the Vesting Date, the Grantee hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from amounts payable under the Award cash or shares of Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax required to be withheld.
