Vesting Conditions Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award Agreement. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

The Controller of the Company and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall certify whether, and to what extent, the Performance Criteria have been achieved. If the minimum performance is not met, no Shares shall be issued and the Award shall be forfeited.
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.

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.
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.
