Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall, during the Restricted Period, have all other rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to receive such dividends as may be declared on the Shares and to vote them at any meeting of the Stockholders of the Corporation.

(b) The Committee has the power to determine any restrictions, conditions and forfeiture provisions that will apply to each Award of Shares, including but not limited to restrictions on transfer; continuous service with the Corporation; achievement of business objectives and individual, unit and Corporation performance. It may also permit, in its sole discretion, an acceleration of the Restricted Period with respect to any part or all of the Shares.

3. Termination of Employment and Forfeiture of Shares:

(a) If the employment of Employee with the Corporation shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Restricted period for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) disability, or (iii) retirement from the Corporation (as defined in the Plan) the Shares shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Officer Severance Agreement entered into between the Employee and the Corporation.

(b) If employment of Employee is terminated by reason of any of the occurrences set forth in subclause (i), (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (a) above, the Restricted Period shall expire on the date of any such occurrence.

4. Certificate to be Legended and Deposited: Each Certificate issued to the Employee for all or any of the Shares shall be deposited with the Corporation and shall bear the following legend:

6. Miscellaneous:

(a) Neither the Award of Shares to the Employee, this Agreement, or the Plan itself create any right to the Employee to receive any additional Award(s) of Shares, or any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Corporation, nor shall any of the foregoing be deemed to interfere in any way with the Corporation’s right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time.
