the Period of Restriction without Cause, then the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company, without any further obligations of the Company to the Employee and all rights of the Employee with respect to the Restricted Stock shall terminate, on the date on which the Employee’s employment agreement with the Company would have expired had the Employee been provided a notice of nonrenewal of such employment agreement on the date of notice to Employee of termination of his or her employment without Cause, unless the Restricted Stock vested as described above prior to such expiration date. If the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determines that (i) the Employee has breached any of the obligations contained in the agreements referenced in Section 3 of this Agreement during the Period of Restriction or (ii) the Restricted Stock was awarded with respect to (A) a plan year for which there has been a material restatement of the Company’s annual report to the SEC due to negligence or misconduct by one or more persons or (B) any subsequent plan year having awards materially affected by the restatement, the Company shall be entitled to declare all or any portion of any unvested Restricted Stock awarded under this Agreement to be forfeited.

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, the Employee may not extend the Period of Restriction.

As used in this Section of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the meaning stated in Article 2.7 of the Plan, “Disability” shall have the meaning stated in Article 2.15 of the Plan, and “Retirement” shall mean any termination of employment by the Employee or the Company for reason other than death after the Employee has achieved 30 years of service, age 62 with at least 10 years of service or age 65.

4. RIGHTS DURING PERIOD OF RESTRICTION. During the Period of restriction, the Employee shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive cash dividends, stock dividends and other distributions made with respect to the Restricted Stock; however, all such stock dividends and other non-cash distributions shall be forfeitable and subject to the same restrictions as exist regarding the original shares of Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Period of Restriction, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5. CUSTODY. The Restricted Stock may be credited to the Employee in book entry form and held, along with any stock dividends relating thereto, in custody by the Company or an agent for the Company until the applicable restrictions have expired and the Employee provides other instructions.
