(a) General Rules. Subject to the terms hereof, Plan Share Awards shall be earned by a Recipient at a rate no more rapid than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of Shares covered by the Award as of each annual anniversary of the date of grant of the Award, with such vesting rate to be determined by the Committee. If the employment of an Employee or service as a Non-Employee Director (including for purposes hereof service as an Advisory Director) is terminated before the Plan Share Award has been completely earned for any reason (except as specifically provided in subsection (b) below), the Recipient shall forfeit the right to any Shares subject to the Award which have not theretofore been earned. In the event of a forfeiture of the right to any Shares subject to an Award, such forfeited Shares shall become available for allocation pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof as if no Award had been previously granted with respect to such Shares. No fractional shares shall be distributed pursuant to this Plan.

(b) Exception for Terminations Due to Death, Disability or Change in Control. Notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a), all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient whose employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company or service as a Non-Employee Director (including for purposes hereof service as an Advisory Director) terminates due to death or Disability shall be deemed earned as of the Recipient's last day of employment with or service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company (provided, however, no such accelerated vesting shall occur if a Recipient remains employed by or continues to serve as a Director (including for purposes hereof service as an Advisory Director) of at least one member of the Employer Group) and shall be distributed as soon as practicable thereafter. Furthermore, notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a), all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient shall be deemed earned as of the effective date of a Change in Control.

7.02 Distribution of Dividends. Any cash dividends or stock dividends declared in respect of each unvested Plan Share Award (excluding any unearned Performance Share Awards) then held by the Trust will be paid out proportionately by the Trust to the Recipient thereof as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than 30 days) after the Trust’s receipt thereof to the Recipient on whose behalf such Plan Share is then held by the Trust. Any cash dividends, stock dividends or returns of capital declared in respect of each unvested Performance Share Award will be held by the Trust for the benefit of the Recipient on whose behalf such Performance Share Award is then held by the Trust, and such dividends or returns of capital, including any interest thereon, will be paid out proportionately by the Trust to the Recipient thereof as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than 30 days) after the Performance Share Awards become earned.

The Trustee may withhold from any cash payment or Common Stock distribution made under this Plan sufficient amounts to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes, and if the amount of a cash payment is insufficient, the Trustee may require the Recipient or Beneficiary to pay to the Trustee the amount required to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Plan Shares. The Trustee shall pay over to the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company which employs or employed such Recipient any such amount withheld from or paid by the Recipient or Beneficiary.

(d) Restrictions on Selling of Plan Shares. Plan Share Awards may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of prior to the time that they are earned and distributed pursuant to the terms of this Plan. Upon distribution, the Board or the Committee may require the Recipient or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, to agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of his distributed Plan Shares except in accordance with all then applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Board or the Committee may cause a legend to be placed on the stock certificate(s) representing the distributed Plan Shares in order to restrict the transfer of the distributed Plan Shares for such period of time or under such circumstances as the Board or the Committee, upon the advice of counsel, may deem appropriate.

7.04 Voting of Plan Shares. After a Plan Share Award (other than a Performance Share Award) has been made, the Recipient shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the voting of the Plan Shares which are covered by the Plan Share Award and which have not yet been earned and distributed to him pursuant to Section 7.03, subject to rules and procedures adopted by the Committee for this purpose. All shares of Common Stock held by the Trust which have not been awarded under a Plan Share Award and shares subject to Performance Share Awards which have not yet vested and shares which have been awarded as to which Recipients have not directed the voting shall be voted by the Trustee in its discretion.

All determinations regarding the achievement of any Performance Goals will be made by the Committee. The Committee may not increase during a year the amount of a Performance Share Award that would otherwise be payable upon achievement of the Performance Goals but may reduce or eliminate the payments as provided for in the Award Agreement.

(c) Restrictions on Grants. Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Committee from making any Award or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

(d) Rights of Recipients. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant who receives a Performance Share Award payable in Common Stock shall have no rights as a shareholder until the Common Stock is issued pursuant to the terms of the Performance Award Agreement.

(e) Distribution. No Performance Share Award or portion thereof that is subject to the attainment or satisfaction of a condition of a Performance Goal shall be distributed or considered to be earned or vested until the Committee certifies in writing that the conditions or Performance Goal to which the distribution, earning or vesting of such Award is subject have been achieved.

7.06 Nontransferable. Plan Share Awards and Performance Share Awards and rights to Plan Shares shall not be transferable by a Recipient, and during the lifetime of the Recipient, Plan Shares may only be earned by and paid to a Recipient who was notified in writing of an Award by the Committee pursuant to Section 6.02 and/or 7.05(a), as the case may be.
