THE SHARES

(b) Recipient shall deposit with the
Company stock powers or other instruments of transfer or
assignment, duly endorsed in blank with signature(s) guaranteed,
corresponding to each certificate representing shares of Restricted
Stock until such shares become Vested Shares. If
Recipient shall fail to provide the Company with any such stock
power or other instrument of transfer or assignment, Recipient
hereby irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the Company as his

deem necessary or appropriate (including those relating to
restrictions on transferability and/or obligations and restrictions
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).
4. Effect of Termination of
Employment or Other Relationship . In the event Recipient’s
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, all
Non-Vested Shares then held by Recipient shall be forfeited
immediately upon such termination and shall revert back to the
Company without any payment to Recipient; provided ,
however , in the event Recipient’s employment with the
Company terminates due to Involuntary Termination (as such term is
defined in the Employment Agreement), then any Non-Vested Shares as
of the date of such Involuntary Termination shall remain
outstanding and subject to this Agreement and shall become vested
if the vesting condition with respect to such Non-Vested Shares set
forth in Section 2 is satisfied on the earlier of (a) the vesting
date with respect to such Non-Vested Shares set forth in Section 2
and (b) the (i) second anniversary of the date of such Involuntary
Termination if such Involuntary Termination occurs on or before the
first anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) first anniversary
of the date of such Involuntary Termination if such Involuntary
Termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective
Date. Non-Vested Shares as of the date of such
Involuntary Termination shall be forfeited immediately upon the
earlier of the dates sets forth in subsections (a) and (b) above if
the vesting condition with respect to such Non-Vested Shares is not
satisfied by the earlier of the two aforementioned
dates. Unless the Committee otherwise determines in its
reasonable discretion, Recipient’s employment will, for
purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have terminated on the
date recorded on the personnel or other records of the Company, as
determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion based upon
such records. The Committee shall have the power and
authority to enforce on behalf of the Company any rights of the
Company under this Agreement in the event of Recipient’s
forfeiture of Non-Vested Shares pursuant to this Section
