If you separate from service with the Company or a Subsidiary due to Disability, death, or your retirement after age 60 with Committee approval prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any common stock, your Restricted Stock Award shall vest in full. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and any Employment Agreement or similar agreement between you and the Company, this Award Agreement shall control. For purposes of this Award Agreement, "Disability" shall mean "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22 (e)(3) of the Code.
3. Shareholder Status. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, you shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Common Stock and the right to receive any cash dividends as to the underlying non-forfeited Common Stock. Until the lapse of the Restricted Period, the Company shall retain custody of the certificates representing the Restricted Stock Award. As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company shall issue or release or cause to be issued or released unlegended certificate(s) representing the non-forfeited Common Stock or shall register such Common Stock in your name.
4. Transfer. This Restricted Stock Award shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you other than in the event of your death. Except for the designation of your beneficiary in the event of your death, the purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance of the Award shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. This provision shall not prevent you from transferring the shares of Common Stock issued hereunder after the expiration of the Restricted Period.
5. No Obligation of Employment. This Restricted Stock Award shall not impose any obligation on the Company to continue your employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
6. Provisions of the Plan Control. This Restricted Stock Award is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Plan under which it is granted, a copy of which you may request from the Company. The Plan empowers the Committee to make interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder, and, in general provides that the determinations of such Committee with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon you. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.
7. Change in Control. The vesting of the Restricted Stock Award in the event of a Change in Control is governed by Section 11.02 of the Plan.
