Restricted Stock Awards (i) The restricted shares of common stock of the Company awarded under this paragraph (c) (collectively, the “Restricted Shares”) shall be awarded pursuant to and, to the extent not expressly inconsistent herewith, governed by the Company stock option and incentive compensation plan as in effect as the effective date of the respective award (the “Stock Plan”). All grants described in this paragraph (c) shall be conditioned upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the annual shareholders’ meeting in 2008 of (A) an increase in the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Stock Plan, or (B) a new or amended plan authorizing grants of restricted shares of the Company. The number of Restricted Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Stock Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. Until and only to the extent the Restricted Shares shall vest as provided herein, all stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares owned by Employee shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Employee. As and to the extent any Restricted Shares shall vest as provided herein, the Company will promptly deliver certificates representing such vested shares to Employee. (ii) Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, effective on July 15, 2008, the Company shall award to Employee 5,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company. The restricted shares awarded as provided in the preceding sentence shall be referred to as the “Fixed Restricted Shares.” The Fixed Restricted Shares shall be subject to vesting as provided below. Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2009, an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2010, an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2011, and the final one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2012. (iii) Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, and further provided that the applicable Annual Performance Award Test (as defined below) has been satisfied, on the Performance Award Date (as defined below) each year during the Term, commencing in 2009, the Company shall award to Employee that number of shares of common stock of the Company as is equal to $100,000 divided by the Performance Award Price (as defined below), with any fractional share resulting therefrom being rounded up to one whole share if 0.5 or more and eliminated if less than 0.5. For each year, the “Performance Award Date” shall be that date the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the immediately preceding calendar year. Satisfaction of the “Annual Performance Award Test” shall be determined as of each Performance Award Date and measured based upon the Company Net Income for the immediately preceding calendar year. The Annual Performance Award Test shall be satisfied for a calendar year if (A) the Annual Net Income Target for the calendar year being measured is at least ten percent (10%) higher than the actual Company Net Income for the immediately preceding calendar year, and (B) the actual Company Net Income for the calendar year being measured equals or exceeds ninety-five percent (95%) of the Annual Net Income Target for the calendar year being measured. The “Performance Award Price” shall be equal to the closing sale price of Company common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the respective Performance Award Date (or if the respective Performance Award Date is not a trading date for the Company common stock, on the immediately preceding trading date). Any Restricted Shares awarded pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) shall be immediately vested in full on the respective date such shares are awarded. (iv) Notwithstanding any provision in this paragraph (c) to the contrary, all of the Restricted Shares that have not been previously vested shall immediately vest if Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder and (A) Employee shall die, (B) Employee shall be subject to a “permanent disability” as described in Section 4(b) hereof, or (C) a Change of Control (as defined below) has occurred with respect to the Company. A “Change of Control” for purposes of this subparagraph (iv) shall have the same meaning as that term is given in the Stock Plan.
Employee Options A regular employee who is subject to displacement shall have the right to select one of the following options. Upon written presentation of the options, the employee shall have 3 full working days to select an option. This time limit may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties: (a) accept training, if applicable; or (b) accept placement in a vacant position, either within or outside the bargaining unit, in accordance with the provisions of this Article; or (c) exercise the bumping rights referred to in this Article; or (d) accept layoff, retaining the right to recall and to severance pay in accordance with this Agreement; or (e) accept severance in accordance with Article 9.03 of this Agreement.

Restricted Stock Award Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant Shares (the “Restricted Shares”), which shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
Employee Stock Options Except as provided in this Agreement or pursuant to the provisions of any Plan or employee or director stock option agreement as in effect on the date hereof, from the date hereof Company will not accelerate the vesting or exercisability of or otherwise modify the terms and conditions applicable to the Employee Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each of the Employee Stock Options which is outstanding and unexercised at the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into an option to purchase Parent Shares in an amount and at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of the stock option plans of Company governing the Employee Stock Options (the "Company Stock Option Plans")): (1) The number of Parent Shares to be subject to the new option shall be equal to the product of the number of Shares subject to the original option and the Exchange Ratio, PROVIDED that any fractional Parent Shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share and, except with respect to any options which are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" (as defined in section 422 of the Code ("ISOs")), Parent shall pay an amount in cash to the holder of such Employee Stock Option equal to the fair market value immediately prior to the Effective Time of such fractional Parent Shares calculated based on the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately preceding the day prior to the Effective Time; and (2) The exercise price per Parent Share under the new option shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price of the original option divided by the total number of full Parent Shares subject to the new option (as determined under (1) immediately above), PROVIDED that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent. The adjustment provided herein with respect to any ISOs shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the new option shall be the same as that of the original option, except that all references to Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent. Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time for purposes of registering all Parent Shares issuable after the Effective Time upon exercise of the Employee Stock Options, and shall have such registration statement or post-effective amendment become effective and comply, to the extent applicable, with state securities or blue sky laws with respect thereto at the Effective Time.
Restricted Stock Shares of restricted stock granted to the Executive by the Company which have not become vested as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, as provided in Section 7(b), shall immediately become vested on a pro rata basis upon the Release becoming irrevocable. The number of such additional shares of restricted stock that shall become vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be that number of additional shares that would have become vested through the date of such termination of employment at the rate(s) determined under the vesting schedule applicable to such shares had such vesting schedule provided for the accrual of vesting on a daily basis (based on a 365-day year). The pro rata amount of shares vesting through the date of non-renewal shall be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares scheduled to vest in each respective vesting year by the ratio of the number of days from the date of grant through the date of non-renewal, and the number of days from the date of grant through the original vesting date of the respective vesting tranche. Any shares of restricted stock remaining unvested after such pro rata acceleration of vesting shall automatically be reacquired by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable restricted stock agreement, and the Executive shall have no further rights in such unvested portion of the restricted stock. In addition, the Company shall waive any reacquisition or repayment rights for dividends paid on restricted stock prior to Executive’s termination of employment.
Substitute Checks and Your Rights What is a substitute check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes the rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other laws with respect to those transactions. What are my rights regarding Substitute Checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, NSF check fees). The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You are also entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other laws. If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we receive your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) no later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account. How do you make a claim for a refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include: • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect); • An estimate of the amount of your loss; • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss, and • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute checks: the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check and the amount of the check. Overdrafts and Nonsufficient Funds When we determine that you do not have enough available funds in your account to cover an Item (including an ATM or Debit Card transaction), then we consider the Item an insufficient funds item. If you have enrolled in our optional Overdraft Line of Credit Program and have enough funds in the linked account under the Overdraft Line plan, we transfer funds to cover ACH and check items. You may also establish a link from your checking account to a savings account or money market account to cover the shortfall in your checking account. Otherwise, without notice to you, we either authorize or pay the insufficient item and overdraw your account (an overdraft item) or we decline or return the insufficient item without payment (a returned item). All types of Items, including Bank fees, may overdraw your account. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always, or ever, authorize and pay them. If we authorize or pay an item and create an overdraft, you must pay back any overdraft immediately. Each Owner will be jointly and severally liable to pay back any overdraft created by any account Owner, even if the Owner did not write the check, initiate the transaction, benefit from it or make any deposits to the account. If we overdraw your account to pay items on one or more occasions, we are not obligated to continue to paying future insufficient funds items. We may also close your account due to overdraft activity. See Closing an Account. You agree that we may apply deposits (including, but not limited to, Social Security and similar benefits) to overdrafts without notice to or consent from you, unless the law states otherwise. We may charge you a fee regardless of whether we authorize, pay or return an item. We may assess this fee for each item we authorize, pay or return. See our Schedule of Fees herein. Overdraft Protection The Bank Offers overdraft protection services that may protect your account against overdrafts in the event you do not have sufficient available funds to cover an item authorized or presented for payment. Overdraft protection may be less costly than paying overdraft or Non-sufficient return item fees. • Overdraft Protection By Linked Accounts – With this plan, you authorize the Bank to make an automatic transfer from your savings account to cover items presented for payment against non-sufficient funds to your designated checking account. These automated transfers are considered limited transfers and each transfer is counted as one of the six transfers from a savings account allowed per calendar month. A transfer occurs from your savings account to cover items presented against non-sufficient funds. Transfers are made for the exact amount to cover the shortfall in Available Funds. General Rules and Definitions This agreement (the "EFT Agreement") governs your use of Electronic Funds Transfer Services described below ("EFT Services") that are available for the Accounts opened through the Bank Website (the "Website"). The following provisions apply only to accounts established primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. This EFT Agreement describes your rights as well as your responsibilities and as such should be read carefully. We recommend that you keep the EFT Agreement for future reference.
Equity Awards You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time.
