For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, the permanence and degree of which shall be supported by medical evidence satisfactory to the Committee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Committee shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with Code Section 409A (or any successor provision), (i) whether the Participant has ceased to perform services of any kind due to a Disability and, if so, (ii) the first date of such Disability.

Shares with respect to which the Forfeiture Restrictions and Transfer Restrictions shall have lapsed under this Section 3(c) (the “Vested Shares”) will, effective on and after the Vesting Date, thereafter be free of the Forfeiture Restrictions set forth in Section 3(b) and Transfer Restrictions under Section 3(a) but such Vested Shares will continue to be subject to all of the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable.  Any Shares for which the Forfeiture Restrictions and Transfer Restrictions have not yet lapsed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement, not be considered Vested Shares (the “Non-Vested Shares”).

If the Participant shall fail to make such Withholding Tax payments when and as required, the Company (or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such Withholding Taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such Withholding Taxes.  If the Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code concerning a Restricted Share Award then the Participant shall submit a copy of such election to the Company.  In satisfaction of the requirement to pay Withholding Taxes, the Participant may make a written election which may be accepted or rejected in the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee, to tender other Shares to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Withholding Taxes. “Withholding Taxes” means any federal, state, or local income, employment, payroll, or similar tax related to the Shares that are required to be withheld by the Company.
