(i) the Executive shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate or certificates for the Restricted Shares until the expiration of the Restricted Period without a forfeiture of the Restricted Shares and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions;
(ii) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), except pursuant to rules adopted by the Committee in accordance with the Program;

(b) Any attempt to dispose of Restricted Shares or any interest in the Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective.
1.3 Restricted Period and Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to the provisions contained in Paragraphs 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7, the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 1.2 shall apply for a period (the “Restricted Period”) beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on January 22, 2016; provided, however, that, subject to the Committee’s discretion under Paragraph 1.7, in no event shall the Restricted Period expire prior to the date that the Committee makes its determinations with respect to the Company’s attainment of the applicable Performance Goals as described in Paragraph 1.4(a).
1.4 Forfeiture.
(a) If, during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares have not been forfeited under Paragraph 1.4(b) as of the end of the Performance Cycle (as defined in Paragraph 1.8(b)), Restricted Shares shall be forfeited, on a proportionate basis as determined by the Committee and as provided below, to extent the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle, as measured by the Company’s Common Stock price, is less than 100% of the performance of the Xxxxxxx 2000 Index for the Performance Cycle; provided, however, that all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited if the Committee determines that the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle, as measured by the Company’s Common Stock price, is not at least 35% of the performance of the Xxxxxxx 2000 Index for the Performance Cycle. If the Committee determines that the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle is at least 35% of the performance of the Xxxxxxx 2000 Index for the Performance Cycle, a portion of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited that is equal to (i) the aggregate number of Restricted Shares reduced by (ii) the quotient of the aggregate number of Restricted Shares multiplied by the TDY Stock Price-Russell 2000 Percentage (as defined in Paragraph 1.8(c)) (but not more than 100%) (any fractional share resulting from this clause (ii) calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Except as provided in Paragraph 1.4(c), any Restricted Shares which are not forfeited under this Paragraph 1.4(a) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 1.2 for the remainder of the Restricted Period.
(b) Subject to Section 6.02(e) of the Rules, if during the applicable Restricted Period (i) the Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 1.4(c), (ii) there occurs a material breach of this Agreement by the Executive or (iii) the Executive fails to meet the tax withholding obligations described in Paragraph 1.5(b), all rights of the Executive to the Restricted Shares shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety.
(c) If, during the Restricted Period, the Executive’s employment terminates due to his or her death, disability (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or retirement pursuant to the retirement policy of the Company or its applicable subsidiaries prior to the expiration of the Performance Cycle, the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiaries) shall continue to hold the Restricted Shares through the expiration of the Performance Cycle. At that time, the restrictions shall lapse with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares equal to (i) the number of Restricted Shares that would not be subject to forfeiture under Paragraph 1.4(a) had the Executive remained employed by the Company through the end of the Performance Cycle multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months during which the Executive was employed by the Company from the beginning of the Performance Cycle until the date of the Executive’s termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Cycle (any fractional share resulting from this calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Any remaining Restricted Shares shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Cycle. If all of the Restricted Shares would have been forfeited under Paragraph 1.4(a), then all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited under this Paragraph 1.4(c) as of the end of the Performance Cycle.
(d) In the event of any forfeiture under this Paragraph 1.4, the certificate or certificates representing the forfeited Restricted Shares shall be cancelled to the extent of any Restricted Shares that were forfeited.
1.5 Withholding.
(a) The Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income recognized by the Executive with respect to the Restricted Shares.
(b) If the Executive timely files an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-2 with respect to the Restricted Shares, the Executive shall meet the applicable tax withholding obligation by paying the appropriate amount in cash to the Company. If the Executive fails to meet this tax withholding obligation to the satisfaction of the Company on or before the date the Executive files his or her election under Section 83(b), all rights of the Executive to the Restricted Shares shall forthwith terminate and be forfeited in their entirety.
(c) If the Executive does not file an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the Restricted Shares, the Executive shall meet the applicable tax withholding obligation by paying the appropriate amount in cash to the Company or, with the approval of the Committee, by either (i) having the Company retain a number of Restricted Shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) as of the date of such retention, or (ii) delivering to the Company a number of previously acquired shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock credited to the Executive’s account under a Company sponsored defined contribution plan or shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding, but unexercised stock options) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) determined as of the business day preceding the date of delivery to the Company, equal to the amount of such withholding obligation. If the Executive fails to meet this tax withholding obligation to the satisfaction of the Company, the withholding obligation shall be met as described in clause (i) above.
(d) The Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to establish such rules and procedures relating to the use of shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations as it deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate and promote the conformity of the Executive’s transactions under the Program with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if such Rule is applicable to transactions by the Executive.
