Related to Restrictions/Forfeitures

• Restrictions; Forfeiture The Restricted Shares are restricted in that they may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until these restrictions are removed or expire as described in Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares are also restricted in the sense that they may be forfeited to the Company (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). You hereby agree that if the Restricted Shares are forfeited, as provided in Section 6, the Company shall have the right to deliver the Restricted Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for, at the Company’s election, cancellation or transfer to the Company.

• Restrictions and Forfeiture (i) All Class B Units when issued shall be subject to forfeiture and shall constitute “Restricted Class B Units” and shall remain subject to forfeiture as provided in this Section 16.2(a) until the requirements of this Section 16.2(a) have been satisfied.

• Restrictions; Vesting Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, Participant’s rights in and to Restricted Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as follows:

• Forfeiture Restrictions The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, and in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than as provided in Section 2(b), the Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares.

• Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the following schedule provided that Employee has been continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate from the date of this Agreement through the lapse date. Date Percentage of Total Number of Restricted Shares as to Which Forfeiture Restricted Lapse May 15, 2004 16 % May 15, 2005 18 % May 15, 2006 20 % May 15, 2007 22 % May 15, 2008 24 % Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Shares on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Plan), or (ii) the date Employee's employment with the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than a termination by the Employee's employer for "Cause" or a voluntary termination by the Employee. In the event Employee's employment is terminated for any reason, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), may, in the Committee's sole discretion, approve the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions as to any or all Restricted Shares still subject to such restrictions, such lapse to be effective on the date of such approval or Employee's termination date, if later. To the extent that any Restricted Shares are vested solely as a result of the Employee's termination of employment pursuant to the foregoing, such shares shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company with respect to all (but not less than all) of such shares in the event the Employee proposes to sell or otherwise transfer such shares to any other person. The Employee shall notify the Company prior to any such transfer (and in the absence of such prior notice any such transfer shall be void). The Company's right of repurchase shall be exercisable with respect to such shares within the thirty (30) day period following the date the Employee gives notice to the Company of the proposed transfer. The purchase price of the shares repurchased by the Company hereunder shall be "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the Plan). If the Company exercises its right of first refusal, the sale shall be consummated within five (5) days of the date the Company elects to exercise its right.

• Vesting; Forfeiture Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Participant continues to provide services until the Vesting Date (as defined below):

• Expiration of Restrictions and Risk of Forfeiture Unless otherwise provided in Section 7 below, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, including the Forfeiture Restrictions, will expire on September 30, 2014, and shares of Stock that are nonforfeitable and transferable will be issued to you in payment of your vested Restricted Stock Units as set forth in Section 5, provided that you remain in the continuous employ of, or a service provider to, the Company or its Subsidiaries until September 30, 2014.

• Vesting and Forfeiture Any Award which has become payable pursuant to the performance measures set forth in Section 4 shall be considered as fully earned by you, subject to the further provisions of this Section 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award will be forfeited back to Tyson in the event of: (i) your Termination of Employment before the Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.2 through 3.4, or (ii) the failure to satisfy any of the performance measures provided in Section 4.

• Forfeiture Upon the earlier to occur of the expiration and termination of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company shall cancel or otherwise effect the forfeiture of Founder Shares from the Sponsor, in an aggregate amount equal to the number of Founder Shares determined by multiplying (a) 937,500 by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 3,750,000 minus the number of Option Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,750,000. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the Company shall not cancel or otherwise effect the forfeiture of the Founder Shares pursuant to this Section 4(jj).

• Risk of Forfeiture Participant shall immediately forfeit all rights to any shares of the Restricted Stock which have not vested and with respect to which the restrictions thereon have not lapsed in the event of the termination, resignation, or removal of Participant from Employment with the Company or any Affiliate under circumstances that do not cause Participant to become fully vested, and the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock to lapse, under the terms of the Plan.
