1.
  Earning of Restricted Shares

(a)If you (i) retire from the Board after reaching age 72 and having served at least three years as a director, or (ii) resign from the Board or cease to be a director of the Company by reason of the antitrust laws, compliance with the Company’s conflict of interest policies, death, disability, or other circumstances the Board determines, in its sole discretion, not to be adverse to the best interests of the Company, you shall be deemed to have fully earned all the Restricted Shares subject to this agreement.

(b)If you resign from the Board or cease to be a director of the Company for any other reason, you shall be deemed not to have earned any of the Restricted Shares and shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

2.
  Retention of Certificates for Restricted Shares

Certificates for the Restricted Shares and any dividends or distributions thereon or in respect thereof that may be paid in additional shares of Common Stock, other securities of the Company or securities of another entity (“Stock Dividends”), shall be delivered to and held by the Company, or such Restricted Shares or Stock Dividends shall be registered in book entry form, subject to the Company’s instructions, until you shall have earned the Restricted Shares in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1. To facilitate implementation of the provisions of this agreement, you undertake to sign and deposit with the Company’s Office of the Secretary a Stock Transfer Power in the form of Attachment 1 hereto with respect to the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends thereon.

3.
  Dividends and Voting Rights

Notwithstanding the retention by the Company of certificates (or the right to give instructions with respect to shares held in book entry form) for the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends, you shall be entitled to receive any dividends that may be paid in cash on, and to vote, the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends held by the Company (or subject to its instructions) in accordance with paragraph 2, unless and until such shares have been forfeited in accordance with paragraph 5.

4.
  Delivery of Earned Restricted Shares

As promptly as practicable after you shall have been deemed to have earned the Restricted Shares in accordance with paragraph 1, the Company shall deliver to you (or in the event of your death, to your estate or any person who acquires your interest in the Restricted Shares by bequest or inheritance) the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends then held by the Company (or subject to its instructions).

5.
  Forfeiture of Unearned Restricted Shares

Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, if at any time it shall become impossible for you to earn any of the Restricted Shares in accordance with this agreement, all the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends, then being held by the Company (or subject to its instructions) in accordance with paragraph 2




shall be forfeited, and you shall have no further rights of any kind or nature with respect thereto. Upon any such forfeiture, the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends, shall be transferred to the Company.

6.
  Transferability

This grant is not transferable by you otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends shall be deliverable, during your lifetime, only to you.

7.
  Withholding

The Company shall have the right, in connection with the delivery of the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends subject to this agreement, (i) to deduct from any payment otherwise due by the Company to you or any other person receiving delivery of the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld by law with respect to such delivery, (ii) to require you or any other person receiving such delivery to pay to it an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so required to be withheld or (iii) to sell such number of the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends as may be necessary so that the net proceeds of such sale shall be an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so required to be withheld.
