The obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Stock to the Company upon termination of employment and the prohibition against transfer in Paragraph 2(b) below are herein referred to as “Forfeiture Restrictions.”
(b) Assignment of Award. The Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions.
(c) Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or Paragraph 2(d) below, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Stock on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Corporate Change (as such term is defined in the Plan) or (ii) the date Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death, disability (as determined above) or normal retirement on or after age sixty-five. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated for any other reason, including retirement prior to age sixty-five with the approval of the Company or employing Subsidiary, the
Committee which administers the Plan (the “Committee”) or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions as to any or all Restricted Stock still subject to such restrictions, such lapse to be effective on the date of such approval or Employee’s termination date, if later.
(d) Net Income. The Forfeiture Restrictions in Paragraph 2(c) above shall not lapse as to the Restricted Stock in accordance with the schedule above for any Anniversary of Grant Date in which the Company’s Net Income (as defined below) for the immediately preceding calendar year was less than $0. To the extent the Company’s Net Income for the immediately preceding calendar year was less than $0, Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit all Restricted Stock that was scheduled to vest on such Anniversary of Grant Date (to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions). The forfeiture of Restricted Stock on such Anniversary of Grant Date shall not affect the vesting of any Restricted Stock on future Anniversary of Grant Dates under this Agreement. Net Income for purposes of this Paragraph 2(d) shall mean as to any calendar year, the income after taxes of the Company for such calendar year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that Net Income shall not be reduced by the after-tax earnings impact of: (i) any item that: (A) originated, (B) relates to or arises from an action that occurred, or (C) relates to or arises from an inaction that occurred, prior to Employee’s first date of employment with the Company or an employing Subsidiary, (ii) the negative effect of changes in accounting principles required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governing body that sets accounting standards, (iii) the negative effect of changes in the tax law. The determination of whether or not an item should be excluded from Net Income shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, based on a reasonable and good faith determination.
(e) Certificates. A certificate evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be issued by the Company in Employee’s name, or at the option of the Company, in the name of a nominee of the Company, pursuant to which Employee shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive currently all dividends until the Restricted Stock are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The certificate shall bear a legend evidencing the nature of the Restricted Stock, and the Company may cause the certificate to be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or to such other depository as may be designated by the Company as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Upon request of the Committee or its delegate, Employee shall deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a new certificate or certificates to be issued without legend in the name of Employee for the shares upon which Forfeiture Restrictions lapsed. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the issuance or delivery of any shares of Stock (whether subject to restrictions or unrestricted) may be postponed for such period as may be required to comply with applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or any requirements under any law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Stock if the issuance or delivery thereof shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.
3. Withholding of Tax. The Committee may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that it determines is required in connection with this Award and unless otherwise approved by the Committee, the Company shall reduce the number of shares of Stock that would have otherwise been delivered to Employee by a number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
4. Status of Stock. Employee agrees that the Restricted Stock will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. Employee also agrees (i) that the certificates representing the Restricted Stock may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the Restricted Stock on the stock transfer
