Delivery of Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable after the Grant Date, the Company will cause its transfer agent to either maintain a book entry account in your name reflecting the issuance of the Restricted Shares, or issue one or more stock certificates in your name evidencing the Restricted Shares. Any such stock certificate will be deposited with the Company or its designee, and bear an appropriate legend referring to the restricted nature of the Restricted Stock evidenced thereby. Any book-entry that reflects the issuance of such Restricted Shares will be subject to stop transfer instructions as provided in Sections 7(b) and 7(c). Your right to receive this Restricted Stock Award is conditioned upon your execution and delivery to the Company of any instruments of assignment that may be necessary to permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the Restricted Shares if such Restricted Shares are forfeited in whole or in part. |

Dividends and other distributions declared and paid with respect to the Restricted Shares before they vest shall be subject to Section 3(c). |
|
(ii) |
None of the Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered, subjected to a levy or attachment or disposed of before they have become Vested Shares (as defined in Section 4(a)) other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, if and to the extent permitted under the Plan, pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted to the Company. In addition, for so long as your Service as a Non-Employee Director continues after such time as the Restricted Shares have become Vested Shares, such Vested Shares shall remain subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions. Such transfer restrictions shall cease to apply to Vested Shares if your Service with the Company terminates due to death or Disability, or if a Change in Control occurs. To the extent such transfer restrictions do apply to Vested Shares, such restrictions will lapse as to one-third of the Vested Shares on the date your Service as a Non-Employee Director ends, and on each of the two succeeding anniversaries of such date. |
