of sale or transfer, and subject to forfeiture as provided in Paragraph
3 below; provided, however, that such restrictions shall lapse as of

above, any portion of the Restricted Shares which remains restricted
will be forfeited by the Grantee and become the property of the

accordance with the terms of the Plan. When the prohibited sale and
transfer restrictions lapse under Paragraph 2, above, with respect to

3 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, division of shares or other corporate structure
change which results in the issuance of additional shares with respect
to Restricted Shares prior to the date as of which the certificate for
such Restricted Shares is to be delivered to the Grantee, such shares
shall be held by the Company and shall become Restricted Shares.
6. Acceleration of Release of Restrictions. The forfeiture and prohibited
sale and transfer restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall
immediately lapse on the earliest of the following:

Agreement with the Company and participates in the Company's
Executive Retirement Plan, in which case the effect on the
Restricted Shares of the Grantee's Retirement shall be as set
forth in the terms of the Company's Executive Retirement Plan.
7. Taxes. The Grantee will be solely responsible for any federal, state or
local income taxes imposed in connection with the granting of the
Restricted Shares or the delivery of such shares pursuant thereto, and
the Grantee authorizes the Company or any Affiliate to make any
withholding for taxes which the Company or any Affiliate deems
necessary or proper in connection therewith. Upon recognition of income
by the Grantee with respect to the Award hereunder, the Company shall
withhold taxes pursuant to Section 13 of the Plan.
8. Changes in Circumstances. It is expressly understood and agreed that
the Grantee assumes all risks incident to any change hereafter in the
applicable laws or regulations or incident to any change in the market
value of the Restricted Shares after the date hereof.

entered into a Change in Control and Noncompete Agreement, the
Grantee's employment agreement with the Company. In the event the

Agreement or an employment agreement with the Company (or Grantee has
entered into an agreement but such agreement does not address the
effect of a Change in Control on this Agreement), the effect of a
