2. Effect of Termination of Employment

The Units corresponding to each Vesting Period shall vest, and restrictions on those Units shall lapse, at the end of the respective Vesting Period so long as Recipient remains an employee until the end of that Vesting Period. If Recipient does not remain an employee until that time, Recipient will not be entitled to any payment pursuant to this Award corresponding to that and later Vesting Periods, except as set forth in Section 3 (a) through (c) below. If during the Vesting Period Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3 (a) through (c) below, then Recipient shall cease to be entitled to delivery of any shares of Stock in which Units are settled as to which the applicable restrictions have not theretofore lapsed, and all rights in and to such shares, including any prorated portion of the shares with respect to a partial year of employment, as well as cash in lieu of dividends as described in Section 4B below, shall be forfeited immediately after Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or any subsidiary.

(a) your death;

(b) in accordance with the schedule set forth above in the event of (i) a Medical Leave of Absence of at least one year or (ii) total disability as evidenced by commencement and continuation for more than one year of benefits under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan (or if you are not a member, meeting the conditions (other than membership) for benefits under the Long Term Disability Plan) for more than one year; or

4. Settlement of the Award

Issuance of Shares. Promptly following the vesting of Units, the Company shall cause to be issued to you in book-entry form the number of shares of Stock you have earned under this Award.

Payment of Dividend Equivalents. You shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of dividends upon the lapsing of restrictions on, and vesting of, Units under this Award, if and to the extent that the Board of Directors approves a dividend for all Company shareholders. The dividend equivalent amount will be a cash payment based upon the number of Units vesting hereunder multiplied by each quarterly per share dividend approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (currently $.22 per share) multiplied by the number of fiscal quarters during which you held Units prior to the lapsing of restrictions. You will not be entitled to any cash payment in lieu of dividends on Units or shares of Stock covered by this Award which are forfeited hereunder. You are entitled to receive cash payments in lieu of dividends if and to the extent that the Board of Directors continues to approve such dividends, and the payment of cash in lieu of dividends hereunder is no guarantee that the Board of Directors will continue to approve cash dividends and that you will continue to receive cash in lieu of dividends in the future. After vesting of Units and issuance of shares of Stock hereunder, you shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend payment on your shares of Stock to the same extent that all shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive such dividends.

5. Other Provisions

Other Conditions of Plan Apply. This Award is subject to all of the remaining terms and conditions of the Plan, including but not limited to the provisions relieving the Company of any obligation to issue shares of Stock until all applicable securities laws have been complied with and providing that the grant of awards under the Plan, including this Award, will not interfere with or limit in any way the company’s right to terminate your employment at any time. The Plan is administered and interpreted by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose determinations are final and binding on all persons concerned.

No Guaranty of Future Awards. This Award in no way guarantees you the right to or expectation that you may receive similar awards with respect to any other similar performance cycle or period which the Committee may, in its discretion, establish and as to which the Committee may elect grant awards under the Plan.

No Rights as Shareholder. You will not be considered a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Units or the shares of Stock issuable upon vesting of the Units or any dividend equivalent cash payment unless and until shares of Stock are issued to you in book-entry form in payment of the Units. Therefore, you have no right to vote the Units or to receive dividends with respect to such Units.

No Rights as Employee. This Award shall not be deemed to create a contract or other promise of continued employment with the Company and shall not prohibit or restrict the Company’s ability to terminate you at any time for any reason.

Restrictions on Transfer of Units. Until the lapse of the restrictions applicable to any Units and the issuance of shares of Stock in payment therefor, pursuant to these terms and conditions, such Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or disposed of by you and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Taxes. Taxes may be assessed and/or withheld as required by law at applicable federal, state and/or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) tax rates with respect to Units, issuance of Shares and cash in lieu of dividends.
