Award.

are
forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Dividends or other
distributions
with respect to such Shares (including, without limitation, regular

thereafter as practicable, the vested Shares shall be delivered to
the
Holder as the Holder shall direct. Alternatively, in the sole
discretion
of the Company, the Company shall hold a certificate or
certificates
representing the Shares subject to the Award until such Award shall
have
vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and the
Company
shall as soon thereafter as practicable, deliver the certificate
or
certificates for the vested Shares to the Holder and destroy the
stock
power or powers relating to the vested Shares delivered by the

to
delivery of any certificate pursuant to this Section 3, the
execution and
delivery to the Company of one or more stock powers relating to
such
unvested Shares. The
Company shall pay all original issue or transfer
taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of Shares
