The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledge, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall be subject to a risk of forfeiture until the lapse of the Restricted Period, as defined in Section 2 below.

     2. Lapse of Restrictions; Restricted Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Recipient’s Employment Agreement with the Company, the restrictions set forth in Section 1 above shall lapse and a portion of the Restricted Shares shall become unrestricted and freely tradable as follows: (i) 20% of the Restricted Shares on February 22, 2012; (ii) 20% of the Restricted Shares on February 22, 2013; (iii) 20% of the Restricted Shares on February 22, 2014; (iv) 20% of the Restricted Shares on February 22, 2015; and (vi) 20% of the Restricted Shares on February 22, 2016.

     3. Change of Control.

Dividends paid on Restricted Stock shall be paid at the dividend payment date for the Common Stock in cash or shares of Common Stock.
